This case is giving me all kinds of ideas. Does anybody make lower density (a la SR1) 92mm rads?

I believe Magicool makes a single 92mm and a dual 80mm both at 14fpi. Hwlabs makes a dual 80 and 92mm but at 20fpi

A SFX PSU is 63.5mm in height while a typical ATX PSU is 86mm so you end up with 114.5mm of room with a deficit of 5.5mm. You might get away with it by cutting a bit off the top but you still need to factor in the radiator enclosure so you'd be looking at a required space of ~125mm which would be a very tight fit indeed.

But heck we won't know till this is out:

That's good but Lian Li beat em to it.

Here is what I got from Fractal Design. They responded quickly to my email:

Hi Jason,

The Node 304 should be available in the US at the end of September (MSRP $89.99) and the Node 605 will be available in October (MSRP $159.99). Both will be found at Newegg, NCIX.us, and Micro Center. I don’t have the exact data for the CFM of the fans installed in the Node cases but they do get sufficient intake to cool the system. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call or email.

Best Regards,
Ryan

I like this case. It can fit a megahalem and the airflow will be very smooth (front to back)

My only problem is, with fan filters in front of the 92mm fans AND a vent-less fan intake design, is the cpu cooler going to get enough air from the outside?

Looks like a really cool case. Looking forward to some hands on reviews and build logs once it's available for purchase!
