So, I wanted to swap my cases. My old case had seen better days and I thought I could make something happen with the NZXT cases.

Well, I should give a run down as to what I was moving to the case with.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~4.5GHz
16GB Corsair 1866mhz DDR3
MSI XPower Mobo
295X2 AMD card
OCZ SSD and 1TB WD
1200PSU Flower
Main parts are all watercooled with a D5 pump and some awesome green coolant to match the case.

Anyway, 5 hours later and this is what I could do with it.

I had to sadly mount the res/pump outside the case due to limited space but I think it worked out okay.

Am still looking to upgrade/improve my set up so if anyone could drop in there views/ideas it would be great!
 
that looks awesome mate, one of the older gigabyte G1 sniper themed motherboards would work a treat with those colours, shame they have started with orange instead now :(
 
ok maybe a better mounting for your pump/res could you not put it where the 3.5" HDDs would go ? seeing as you have a 3.5" HDD sitting in m/b area, unless you have a 60 mm rad or 38mm fan I would say you probably have enough room behind the rad at the front, making it look neater and easier to move if need be as it would be self contained

Sadly I have a double thick rad in the front which is why I have the res/pump outside.
 
check the thread in the monitor section. some people have been reporting light bleed but most people are happy. it would be worth waiting though as quite a few 21:9 monitors are in the works.
great build by the way

Thanks mate, Yea I heard about the bleed but support and returns are solid so I might just take the dive and grab one of them.

yeah good idea. it's something that I'd like to do as well but I'm gonna hang fire for a curved one I think

had a idea, depending on what your res / pump is could you not fit it under the 1 graphics card, and move / mount the HDD and SSD behind the motherboard some where. so you have the res horizontal as most new res's now can work like this, you will just have to be more careful when filling and it will be slightly harder to get the bubbles out ?

other wise its back to the drawing board again for me thinking about this :)
