I dont think I would dremel the heat pipes. I might be totally wrong but I thought those pipes are full of thermal fluid.

Thread revival!
Mirage did you find a cooler to fit your Praetorian? I've got a freezer 7 pro at the mo but looking for something bigger.

so what has your 450 budget exploded too by now? 
Haha, just counted it and it's at £953 on items. I currently have £115 worth of items in my basket and spent just over £100 else where on items I couldn't get at ocuk, although admittedly I've just rma'd a router that was £70.
I must say though, I've been building my own gaming machines for 10 years, this is the first time I've gone all out (although gfx is only mid-high) and I wish I had done it every other time!

No, I still currently have the side panel only attached on two sides lol.
I'm currently looking to retire my praetorian in favour of a HAF 912 PLUS. Ordering this weekend strangely enough!
Before the Praetorian goes could you estimate by how much the Viper exceeds the case width. Thought I'd measured about 135mm as the max height for a cooler. Looks to be a few more mm available
I will do tonight, I estimate an extra 10mm is required though!
I was going to mod the case, adding a meshed recess (outward?) over the CPU, however I really like the sound of two quiet 200mm fans, two quiet 140mm fences, better cable management and the psu at the bottom with it's own cooling solution!

Thanks for that Mirage! Enjoy the HAF. RIP the Praetorian
