This is the computer I've been wanting for years and I'm proud to say it was worth every cent. Photos really don't do this thing justice, building it was a pleasure in its cavernous interior. Thankfully the case arrived completely unscathed apart from some water damage on the actual packaging - luckily inside was nice and dry.
So far so good. The build went well although that bloody 8pin power connector stopped me from doing a push/pull config with my H100 - when will motherboard manufacturers figure out a right angle connector? Surely its not that difficult to do? So at the moment the rad is sitting forward of the usual position and being held in place by four screws, at least until i get rid of those metal tabs near the front of the case which are stopping me from having it all the way forward. Oh well - seems to be working fine.
I replaced all of the fans except the front one with Gelid wing 12's, a wing 14 for the back exhaust and 4x Gelid wing 12 PL LED fans for the rad. The HDD cage and GPU fans (x4) all being controlled off the Cosmos fan controller - WITH NO TICKING OR PULSING on low and med speeds. They move great air and are pretty quiet. In fact the only real sound coming out of the case is the whoosh of air, no mechanical fan noises at all...Rad temps very rarely get above 40c on load, idles about 18c. VERY happy with this case. Next step - custom loop!
Some pics for you, please add me to the list

And I thought my M4 was doing great with a 15-second boot from the BIOS loading up. Lol
