I was just thinking...please don't be too shocked 
Will there be enough space to put a 120mm blow hole above the graphic card on the inner side panel. If will therefore get the air from the same place as the front fans (from the holes on the side towards the back and because the hole is on the inner panel the sound should still be dampened. Yewen what is the distance between the inside panel and where you put the screws into expansion card bracket.
What do you think?

well the mobo is in , so i only have the top open area for it to get into !!! i cant seem to get an agle when its straight!!!
I started trying to get through the front - that was how my previous two cases where accessed and in doing so made the door fall off onto my foot ! And semi bugger the spring clip!!!
That instruction sheet is useless! I could have paid a translator and saved some time and money already!
Any other ideas apart from take the mobo and everything back out ??!?!?!
Thanks for your reply

Oh P.S
Your right about the fans, im not overly keen on them. I can see that they will become noisy once dust etc has gotten to them - do you know if the lian li fan controller is any good? I dont really want to put my musketeer into it as it will ruin the aesthetics of the case!
Any other good fan suggestions, once i get my cdrom in !!! DAMN

TR3a is not a fan controller in the normal sense, better of just buying a decent set of fans, noisey fans at 12v will be just as bad comparably at 7v.
And getting it in with the mobo in, hmm, would it fit in the hole for the PSU?
This is something you normally fit in before you carry on with the build, and it will go in through the front aswell. Just take your time and remove two 5" bay covers.

No worries, they can be a pain if youve never used a Lian Li before. 
They have these little nipples on each side, on the inside of the drve cage, you need to pick a side, I usually take the right on, pull inwards on the tab while pushing foreward and the cover will move out. Now do the same on the left.
Go round to the front, and then pull it out a bit more, then bend in the tabs to get the nipples away from the case front.
Do this twice, and you should be able to feed the drive in.
The door is open of all of this, if you are still having trouble let me know as I can make you a instructional video.

Don't get that.
Find something called a matrix orbital.
Much better! Glad I could help, if you get stuck on anything else add me to msn or just post back and ill help out if I can.
Its a good drive system, keeps them all in line, without need for screws everywhere.

Sorry to hijack your post yewan ; another quick question/idea on the s80b
Would a standard fan controller work with the door? Ideally i would want it fitting flush, so would the zalman fan controller work or is there another that you can suggest - i am planning on getting 2 gpu coolers (vf900) and would ideally like them to be linked to where i can easily control them ...
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks.

Been quite busy with the whole UB and settling in and the Don and settling it.
I have it half written, again its a month late but will be soon. Sorry for the delay.
(Got some interviews possibly coming up so that may add a few more days still.)
If you like the look of it buy it, if you have any doubts then I would not go for it. Best case in the world, or a pain in the rear end depending on how you look at it.

Nice case, so when are you going to get the dremel out?

I do not work for them just a moderator here.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/contact.htm give them a ring or drop them a webnote and they will be able to help. And to the dremel idea, way ahead already on that one. Not going to say what it is but its more, lets make a slightly bigger space so I can run a wire through.
