Nice! How is airflow to GPU? Bottom / side intake?

There are 5 x Corasir 140mm fans. Two front, one back, one bottom and one on the side.

They all run at 800rpm on a Bitfenix recon controller and are silent and provide a nice amount of airflow.

Can see back is exhaust and of course top through cooler.
Assume side, bottom & front intake are intake?

Yeah 4 in, front, bottom and side, 1 out rear with 4 x 120mm fans on CPU cooler also blowing out....

This shows it a bit better...

Fractal Arc Midi and that should fit no problem a dual 140mm or even triple 140mm should fit in. A fairly thick rad shouldn't be a problem officially it supports 60mm..

Here is a pic showing the top mountings. The fan shown is 140mm.

Thought I would finally contribute towards this thread with my rig :)

This is near enough the finishing result now with my recent rig renovation (new SSD, case, motherboard, graphics card & CPU cooler) The last thing that I am waiting for is the new Windowed side panel for the case.

Very nice Liam! Guess I better get back to work on my R2. Still need to finish braiding cables. ;)

Thanks mate :) Lately I have been going through a bit of a cosmetic crisis with my rig, hence the reason with upgrading some of my components to make it look better, and oh yeah make it perform faster for gaming :D

Funny you mentioned cable braiding, as I really like the look of them new Corsair PSU's which are fully modular and have the option to purchase them braided cable kits. I've been toying with the idea too of upgrading the PSU to one of these fully modular ones with braided cables. Don't get me wrong, my XFX PSU is brilliant but I think the cabling could be better and it's the only thing that makes the case a tiny bit untidy at the very back. Though at the minute I think upgrading to a newer PSU just to make the rig that little bit better looking is going to be a bit extreme haha :D

I cheated a little on my TX650. I ran the cables through the grommet that's half covered by PSU before I mounted the PSU... otherwise I couldn't get them through. Then I did a little tweaking to hid most of them behind motherboard tray. I actually drilled pairs of 3mm holes for pull-ties to go though to keep them in place so side cover will slide off and on easily. I pulled my HDD cage to change front fans to 140mm ones (TY-140) and remounting it flush with back of optic bay cage. Fans are quieter moved back a little more. Also put case up on casters for ease of movement and to get airflow to bottom fans. You can drop me a trust if you want more info.

Thanks mate :)

I'm still waiting for my Windowed side panel to go with the R3 case and it's basically the last case mod I'm waiting for, I've been waiting over a week for it now and starting to get a bit ****** off with the retailer & Yodel as well by the sound of things (the retailer claiming it was despatched on Weds and they for whatever reason cannot supply me with a tracking number to see where it is, and the fact that thier using Yodel... *facepalm*).

Off topic question but how much do those Sli connectors cost? I'm thinking about getting another 580 but i'd need quite a long one as there will be a gap between the two cards.
 
I think it would have come with the motherboard m8.

You can also get them bundled with graphics cards, but not always these days.
