Default Lancool PC-K62 Show Off :cool:

Build list,
Lancool PC-K62 Black ATX Advanced Mid Tower Case
Corsair VX550W 550W Power Supply
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P ATX LGA1366 X58
Intel Core i7 920 Quad Core Processor at 4GHz
EVGA E-GEFORCE 8800GTS
G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ 6GB 3X2GB DDR3-1600
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB (hopping to replace with SSD soon)
Seagate 500GB
Pioneer DVR-115DBK DVD+RW
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme 1366RT Heatpipe
AeroCool TOUCH-2000 Touchscreen LCD Display 4 Channel Fan Controller

Few thoughts...
Being a bit of a freak when it comes to neatness it took me a bit more than 3 hours to get the cable management done well enough to be happy with. When it was all done I struggled for no less than ten minutes to get the side panel on. Not a heck of a lot of room behind the mobo panel and side panel. Another 1/4" space would have made a big difference.
I worked with a AZZA Solano 1000 couple weeks back and I can say that it was way easier to route the wires than in the K62 case. Lots more room to hide the cables.

The case is very nicely assembled together. I didn't get one cut in all the time I spent arranging all the wires. Paint job is also very well done.

I'm very happy with the build but sure hope that the Corsair Power Supply will never die because it would be a night mare to undo all the wires the put them back

Sweetness. Nice cable management, too. I wish this had been out for my first build, I still want to tinker with it.

I don't mind the shape of the window actually. The last case I had was with square window but had to change since the Ultra 120 Extreme cooler wouldn't fit in it, tho I knew that before the upgrade.

Shouldn't take you a whole weekend lol, more like a good couple hours.

Getting ready to rotate the True 120 on mine facing upwards as I find the temps are creeping up a little more then I would like.
Hoping that helps bring them back down a bit.

I know that there is a thread for this case already, but how did you fit the 8-pin through the hole next to the CPU?

Sorry about the delay eNet,

It was a bit of PITA getting the 8 pin molex trough the hole but I was determined I was going to get it trough and I did.
I used a flat end screwdriver to pry open the hole just a bit.

Once I got the 8 pin trough I actually managed to get the Audio and rear fan fan wire trough there also

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post -
I honestly thought it was impossible,
but after a loooong session of complaining and failing to get it through, I actually did it.
I got it in so that it was visible from the mobo side, then I twisted it sideways (so that the pins were facing the front of the case) and pulled it through.
It would have been a lot easier, if they had put more space so that I would not have to rough up the plastic connector .
BUT
It looks nice now without the cord reaching the full length of my mobo.
