It's about time you joined the CaseLabs builders! That would look even sweeter with dual pearl painted Titans Xs with nickel backplates

I haven't built in this case yet. I haven't had the space, This case is pretty much 48"x48"x48". its massive haha. I have it wrapped up and tucked away in my closet. One day I will get around to building in it. It is not currently on my radar tho.

I know what you mean, I have one as well and it's huge.

The amount I would like to do with it is great but the finances to do it just are not there for me, at least not currently. I have even thought about selling it on/off to get something smaller like Hexgear R40, Caselabs S5, or even the new BH8 but I have the EK XE360 which is too thick for most cases and my current mobo is an EATX.

So pretty much all of those cases are not an option based on the rad and mobo size that I have...

But I plan to use it as a server as well as my gaming rig so once I have the finances in order this should be something worth doing.

I modded my case and It could now technically hold 7 triple radiators, but if i ever build it in it I plan on only using 4 triple rads.

A case like this, a case that I have this amount of work into and I think I did a flawless, I really do have an emotional connection to this case and I dont care if I dont ever build in it, I will never sell this case.

I feel like a a case like this, that is this large and can hold this much hardware, needs a build with mulitple graphics cards and a CPU and GPU loop. I think I have the processor bases covered with my 5960X, but I wouldn't put my SLI 980s in it. I would need like SLI 1080tis or SLI Titan XP....

Ha! I am running a single 970 right now.

I know what you mean...

I am rocking a single 970 right now myself.

I don't think I will do separate loops because I like redundancy and having a single loop with dual res and dual pump will provide me with some fail safe protection....granted, pumps rarely go out if you take care of them but still, I like covering my bases.

I'm thinking of doing 3x 360 myself with the bottom fans on the mobo side just moving air form the bottom of the case to the top.

As far as emotional connection, I understand, that's how I feel about other things I have built/modded and you did an excellent job with this.

I have some mod ideas for mine but we will see when I get to them. If I get this promotion that I am going after then I will be able to enjoy these things more.
