@Mindchill
Two quad (or two triple push-pull) are enough to achieve <5 dT water to ambient, at 800W. 1 quad is about 0.01 C/W.

I'm looking at very low rpm fans (1000-1200).. which according to skinny labs is about .03 c/w
http://skinneelabs.com/2011-2012-radiator-comparison/3/

No point in water cooling if your running high speed fans

I'm planning on running 4 tecs to start. or 2 dual tec chillers

So is the case modular?

Can you add extra cages to the side for more 360 rads?

the case is designed around a "module" which makes it a modular ever expandable and stackable case

You can add infinite number of radiator modules to your system as long as you have the room.

I'm using 6 modules for this build.

I may stack another 6 modules under it at some point to add another 6 tecs to it.. that would give me 9 triples and 2 doubles in a relatively compact case.

I think you might just have beat Caselabs on the water cooling front...

Just thought about this also... maybe post this in casemods [scratch] builds. Might even get MOTM nominations...

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...
