Finished
Running like an absolute dream
This looks great.
I have a P182 and would like to add a side window.
Have any info on how to go about it please ?
Use the braided extension V R, i got one for my lian li a70f, was a godsend tbh as the case is quite tall and the corsair 8 pin cable was to short.
You can make out the extension cable on the right, have it clamped to the mobo tray to keep it in place.
I have a P182 case and would like a MoBo CPU access hole just like this case.
Has any got any info on how to go about doing it ! ?

Wouldnt you be better with Apache fans on the Corsair im sure they would give you better temps than the Bitfenix fans.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't your RAM modules in the wrong slots? If you're only using two sticks, shouldn't they occupy slots of the same colour (black in your case). Very tidy build though, looks slick.
You would need a tool like a Dremel to cut the hole, other options are cnc cutting, this will be a lot neater, but it will cost a bit more.

I have a Dremel, so it is game on !
The main problom I see is making the hole suitable for most motherboards. i.e if I cut a hole for my ASUS MoBo, what happens when I up grade to say a Gigabyt and the hle is in the wrong place !
That is my main concern.
ah !
someone with a p190....how do you find the case ?
ive been without mine now for 5 months and miss it due how quiet it is and the cooling it gave.
Looks great, has it helped to improve your gpu temps compared to the zalman.

I had 2 sharkoon silent eagle fans but fancied a change, going to try out watercooling soon seehow much cooler my cpu can get.
I was thinking the same about cutting a slight bigger hole than necessary.
I am going to water cool my CPU so I need to remove it from my case to fit the CPU heat exchanger. This was all so going to be the time for the hole cutting in the case, as I will keep the case for while now. It is pretty good and serves my needs at the moment.

It has, but more to do with being able to leave a space between the cards. At first I installed the cards next to each other and even though the HAF X has a massive fan in side and I installed a 12cm fan in the funnel, it only lowered temps by s few degrees compared to the GS 1000. As they are now the top card maxed out at 75 degrees when overclocked to 700/1400, still can't clock them past 750 even though temps don't go above 80. Even with a bit of extra voltage my PC or the driver stops responding. As for CPU temps, went back to two fans on the H50 in push/pull, still not happy with it to the point of replacing it with a decent air cooler.
