Moving my existing system from my Enthoo primo to the X5 due to weight size and placement, as the X5 will fit on my desk at the side of me :)

Will be interesting to try out the fans as never had that make before and im after a quieter experience, will run the fans on a low rotation and have a cooler case hopefully. Going full water cooled soon as well.
Never used the rubber bolts before either so hoping this will help noise levels as well.

What do people think of the colour of the case? i wasnt sure to start with but its grown on me from looking and reading the odd review that there currently is. Will find out this morning hehe.
 
Case seems a bit bold for my tastes, tbu I guess if you have a master plan hatched for the Watercooling it could theme well with that!
 
Bold is a good assessment, just hope i dont think its OTT when it arrives lol
The right water cooling colour could set the case off nicely, i will update as i install the gear.
 
Case would be a definite no-go for me, not a fan.

Wondering what the point of the three fans at the bottom? What are they cooling as the system is mounted above them!
 
Hard drives are just behind them and the psu further back, that is all. Oh and the Grid v2 for the fan controller.
The case was nice to work with, especially the removable motherboard tray. Swappable side panels and the general modularity of it. Lots of space for water cooling, plus fits on my desk nicely.
I can see the colour wouldn't be for all, but i actually like it, wasn't sure when i ordered it in case the green was really bright but thankfully its not.

Thanks took a while to try and sort out all the cabling for the 10 fans etc as there isn't really any cable management to talk of built into the case.
I like it and the misses loves it lol so alls good.

Further testing required but so far it seems to have dropped my Gpu temps by 5-6 degrees as well.
I will be building my first full custom loop soon as well, cant wait.

Ps. Also must say the Cam software that comes with the Grid v2 fan controller is actually quite good. Not had any problems with it al all and is so easy to use.
