I painted the most visible corsair fan ring green, and also did the pci slot brackets.

Also put my corsair low profile vengeance 8gb 9-9-9-24 1600mhz kit back in, cause the g.skill ripjaws Z 2400mhz kit seemed to be overkill for gaming, just used more power and had longer latency imo.

Hi guys! Glad to see there's an Xpredator club. I was on xioxide.com a few weeks back and I found the Xpredator X3 Devil Red edition and fell in love with the case design. Then I saw the slightly different rendition here: http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/products/chassis/28-pgsb/203-xpredator-devil-red

And I wanted the rendition with either the grate or the window (preferably the window) that allows you to mount 4X 140mm fans or a 200mm fan instead of 2X 140 mm fans like this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4904467&CatId=1509

And in the process of trying to find the former case (to ask for for Christmas), I found that the latter is actually a good deal smaller than the former- 223X527X533mm as opposed to 234X600X555mm and that's probably the reason it doesn't have the 4 fan side panel. I've looked everywhere on the web, even in UK stores (I'm in the USA) I've never seen the Devil Red with 4 side fans. For comparison, the black edition has the side panel I want, coming from the co.uk Amazon web store: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerocool-X-Predator-Tower-Gaming-Orange/dp/tech-data/B004FS5DNM/ref=de_a_smtd

If there is anyone with any information for me about where I can buy the 600mm tall Xpredator Devil Red edition I would be much obliged.

Also, for those who are water cooling, has anyone put an H100 in the Xpredator?

Thanks for any help!

I live in australia and buy my pc parts from PC CASE GEAR, they have the 600mm xpredator, and in many colours. But they only ship within australia, so bad luck for you. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_1287

Seems there are a couple on ebay, from italy or germany, who seem to ship internationally.

As to mounting a H100, if you put the fans "outside" the roof, but still under the air vents, and the radiator on the inside of the roof, it will fit fine.
If you mount the fans and radiator on the inside of the roof, it will fit, but will come close to the top of the motherboard.
But where the cpu power cable enters the motherboard area in the top left of the motherboard, the h100 would most likely be blocking some of that hole, due to where the screw holes are on the roof, but should leave just enough for you to get the cpu power cable through and plugged into the motherboard.

Oh thank heavens, the case is real! I have seen every single other color somewhere online from an actual retailer in its 600mm height format EXCEPT the Devil Red. Except now... I can't buy it -.- oh well. Thanks for showing me that. As for the H100, are you talking about a push pull config? I have a friend with the 540 mm tall NZXT Phantom and has no problem with a stock config H100. No push pull and the entire assembly is in the case, not just below the top bezel. I'd imagine the 2.3 in taller Xpredator should fit the H100 with ease.

Is there any way you could link to the eBay results if they are the Devil Red? I can't seem to find that case there either, just the Evil Blue.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aerocool-XPredator-Case-Big-Tower-Devil-Red-Window-Edition-/181030585142?pt=Accessori_Audio_Video&hash=item2a26438336

Not 100% if they ship to USA, but says worldwide shipping...

I measured my case, and the roof to the motherboard top is 5cm spacing. And the h100 with just the radiator and 1 set of fans on one side is 52mm thick. So putting the fans outside the roof, and the radiator inside the roof makes sure that there is no trouble with it being to close to the motherboard. Honestly this case isnt really spacious for watercooling, thats why im buying a Shinobi XL for my next watercooling build, it has more space in the roof.

I see your point about water cooling, although it is odd considering how tall the case is overall. I wonder if its just an abnormally high mobo placement... Thanks for the links though, man people are figuring they can charge you an arm and a leg for this case... Laws of supply and demand I guess. You think that the H100 could fit stock in the case (overhanging the mobo by 2mm) and have a push pull with fans in the top under the bezel? I don't think that should interfere with much in that region on the mobo.

I noticed this guy here put a 45mm thick radiator (pls fans) inside the case and didn't seem to have any problems.
