Its just the fillport , it pivots out to fill

Its used to go out the back of the case but the angle was too steep and it was a nightmare to fill altho it looked good.

flow is still excellent tbh , I was unsure myself during the build but pleasantly surprised once i'd got it all togther just how good it was , those D5's are superb pumps.

Thx Yaka , not had any problems so far , had my previous build with no clamps for a long long time , the bitspower fittings are such a snug fit so i'm not worried and it looks soo much cleaner with no clamps.

Alright installed a Bitfenix Alchemy LED strip this morning and took some new pictures.
Also got a new replacement front from corsair for free which was awesome of them when
I only asked how to restore its colour. Anyway i need to snap some shots when its darker tonight for the full effect of the lights but i think it looks awesome already. Check em out and let me know what you think

Looks better in RL the light hit it too much its actually nice and dark

Hidden lights and hid the wire too connecting it

Hidden HDD's

I'll get a better one in the night..

Sorry for picture spam too

Just put in a H100 as I was using stock CPU cooler as I needed a new board after my P67 died.

Shame the iPhone camera is crappy, anyone know of a decent camera for sub <100?

Spray that interior black!

Shashman · 22 May 2012 at 18:28

I really like the interior of that case, especially the white.

Shame about the exterior

Bezzaboy1234 · 22 May 2012 at 20:04

Noo! It'd be ruined black! looks much better in white,

Yeah I agree, now that I look back I wish i'd have waited for the Switch 810, as that is just mind-blowingly good and looks awesome in terms of cooling

mrk · 22 May 2012 at 20:04

No! not black = lame!

Can I ask how you mounted your SSD in this location please, glue, velcro?

almostgfx · 25 May 2012 at 21:27

Drilled a few holes in the back and screwed the ssd on.
But you could always use Velcro strips to do this too i guess

Well wasn't happy with my system so fancied a change. The Fractal Design XL is a brilliant case but I wasn't too happy with the radiator at the top and it wasn't the neatest job really. Remembered I had an old Lian Li PC-A17 in the loft which I had used for watercooling in the past which I had modded for a 240mm radiator in the bottom. Had a brain wave and decided to see if the 360mm radiator would fit at the front of the case with all the HDD bays removed... it did so the search was on for a standard case. One popped up on a popular auction site in black which was local and I bought it there and then.

So before..

After

Was going to get a fan controller but wasn't sure if it would fit infront of the radiator so found this little beauty instead. Runs off an 8pin PCIe cable

Future plans are to put the 670 under water, swap the 360mm for a thick 240mm at the front and a thick 120mm radiator at the rear.
