I know they say in all the reviews that you need to take out the bottom 2 fans to fit the PSU but in reality u just need to pop off the shrouds and the psu will slide right in. The fan shrouds pop off very easy. unless you are planning on changing out the fans in which case most definately remove the 4 screws holding the bottom stand and then remove the vans.

******Update*******

just got my new EXPC RX 120 mm 60mm thick Rad and my Alphacool UT60 280 mm 60 mm thick Rad along with my first ever XSPC 90s and Compression fittings. After 3 hours of conjugations I settled on this. I also swapped in some old Noctua fans for added airflow and silence.
I never thought those fittings would make such a difference but they do.

I almost forgot about this thread, I've got My Azza 9000B case loaded up, though, I still have some parts to get in April 2015, but here it is:
9000B-Construction20001_zpsgjfl0ghu.jpg

I also was thinking of modifying the top by adding some screw holes for a 420x140x86mm radiator, so I did a test shot to see how much room there would be with 140mm fans, seems like enough room, so far.

Oh and why is there a 12awg psu cable coming out of the top of the 9000B case? Simple the psu is a Silverstone ST1500 Silver, yep all 220mm of it is in the front bay, I'll have to modify the plastic front of the case so the power cable can hide in plain sight, the normal holes are too small for this psu cables C19 connector.

Upgrades are completed. We also went with a theme. The computer's name is Chompers. Being we live in FLorida and have gators out back, I took the smallest gator head I could find and installed it on top of the GPU. Fit perfectly. Next month I will disassemble the computer and it will be painted to resemble alligator skin. Ram is 32gb DDR3 at 1333. We added custom wiring to compliment the blue theme. Radiators on the 9000D Azza case are 480mm in the roof in a push/pull configuration. 240mm in the basement again with push /pull config. Finally a 120 in push/pull in the back. Chompers is sitting on 2 HD7950's Komodo in Crossfire installed with the Swiftech Crossfire X bridge, System is running Eyefinity 6. Motherboard is an Asrock Z77 Extreme 11. I love this motherboard!. Swiftech Apogee XL water block. Went with Thermaltake 120mm fans. Very quiet and the are dialed back with a fan controller. Reservoir is Phobya 150 modded to the front of the case to the Horizontal bar near the front. (fit perfectly!!). The pump is of course a MCP-655 with mod top and rear. I was using the swiftech fittings and I hated them. Too long for what they do. So I switched to Bitspower fittings and the quality difference is amazing. 256 GB ssd with 3 WD 2TB black. PSU is an EVGA 1300.....very quiet and great specifications for the price. Computer is overclocked to 4.8GHZ with an Intel I7-3770K . CPU has a standing temp of 38C and a temp range of 58-64C on load. GPU's are doing great...even in crossfire standing temps 32C and 53 on full load. Not bad. Tubing is 1/2 inch.

Changes that will be made. When the case goes to the paint shop, I will be changing to tubing from flexible acrylic to PETG hard tubing. I like the look and that stuff takes a beating. Also I will be changing the fluid to Mayhem clear UV blue coolant. I think I need to dial back the blue color just a hair. Motherboard temperatures are doing well, even on load, so the jury is still out as to whether I will be installing a motherboard block. Same goes for RAM blocks.

Also I was given small versions of "Fingerbang".......you South Park Fans will know who they are. I love me some Fingerbang!.....what a great episode.

Thx for the advice - I know about the GT1 but I prefer the side panel fan on the Genesis. I only plan to have a cpu loop at first since I already have MSI 970 which is silent at 1.5GHz and want to get 2nd one so the fan would help for keeping the GPUs air cooled.
Also the top is better designed on the Genesis. On the GT1 the front is more sloped and less boxy and also the vented area on the Genesis is bigger and most importantly the area around it is flat so it will be much easier to cut out and replace with a mesh. On the GT1 the area around it is pointy towards the center so making it as big as it is on the genesis and cutting it out will not be easy and it will look terrible if I tackle it myself. On the Genesis I would be a lot more confident to make it look neat.

Shame that getting a bigtower/supertower with 420/480 rad support, all 5.25 bay design and nice spacious inside seems almost impossible these days.
I've looked for the Genesis for many days and emailed quite a few retailers. Only found it on amazon.ca which won't ship to EU or US (even thought one seller says it ships from UK).

After slowly giving up on it I've found the Xigmatek Elysium so was very happy to find an alternative as I've seen it on a local shop, but haven't noticed it's out of stock and it's pretty much the same situation as the Genesis, even worse actually, haven't been able to find it anywhere for sale as it also was discontinued.
Also with these big cases no on is selling them because there really isn't what to upgrade to from them so finding one used is quite unlikely.

Any suggestions for big cases with nice flat top and all 5.25 bay design would be appreciated.
I've also looked at CaseLabs SM8 but with the shipping to EU and taxes it could be like 700usd and I also have some nitpicks about it for my needs.

EDIT: found that in some markets the Genesis is also being sold as Linkworld Venuz (VC701B & VC701W)
http://www.linkworld.co.th/index.php/vc7-series/vc701b

regrettably I wasn't any luckier finding one under that name...was able to find it on one Thailand shop which stated it has it in stock, but again no shipping to my area ;o[

I am now in the Azza Club because I have bought the Azza Stealth case and built a computer that can max out all games at 1080p and most games at 4k resolutions with room to spare and this is the specs:

Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z170N Mini Itx Motherboard

i7 6700k Skylake

16gb of 2133 DDR 4 Corsair Vengeance ram x 2 Sticks

Liqmax II 120s CPU Cooler

MSI 6g Gaming 980 Ti Golden Edition Video Card

2TB Samsung EVO SSD

2TB 5400 Rpm HDD 2.5inch Samsung

6TB My Book

3TB HDD 7200rpm Seagate Drive from old computer but still trying to get out of it though!

I love I have thrown most of my games at it and it has not stopped yet though! I love it more than anyone knows! LOL!

does anyone have a collection of images of Azza's crazy, old designs (like maybe 2009 and earlier)? Google images and Internet Archive seem to be failing me...

is there a way (like a url query string) to get Newegg to display ALL out of stock items for, say, a brand?

like they had some nearly ugly crazy (definitely some ugly or at least eye-catching) colors and designs back in the day...
