What do you guys think? Just set this up I'm not 100% done yet but here are the pictures.... which of course don't do it justice.

I need to cut some of the front grills on the fan you see above to fit the radiator below but I think it will look good when finished!

edit: I scratched the radiator a ton but it looks kinda cool tongue.gif

Looks pretty good.
Too bad it doesn't seem you can good cable management with that case.

Just a suggestion to see if you can do it.

That 8-pin going across your board.
Is it possible to run it along the right hand side of the MOBO to kinda hide it a bit?
Velcro on the back of the case.

IMO I think that cable is the only major eyesore.

Believe me the cable management on this case sucks.... I'm surprised it doesn't look worse. I tried every combination to get that 8pin cable around the mobo and it wouldn't reach. I might make some custom cuts just to get rid of it but for now that's how it will be. thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

So I cut those front grills like I said and here is how it turned out!

The cuts weren't as clean as I'd like but it was hard to get a skill saw in there. I have more grills so I might do another set to get it to look cleaner but for now its done!!! thumb.gif

thinking more about what you said... I might be able to run it along the right but it would have to cut over the RAM... might not look horrible though.
