OOOOOOOHHHH i have some Ideas that I would do...

I would use a xspc ex240 rad in the back, make a new custom front panel and top panel and some small other items..

Some Color Ideas for The Orange im thinking of..

Just thoughts so far..

 

[Hanoverfist]

Some intial thoughts and Inputs being discussed and I am just thinking out loud Here.

For the top Rad..


For the New Front

 

[Hanoverfist]

After some Measurements the Roof will hold a 360 not a 420 due to Length.

Roof Removed..

Here is a shot of Antecs bottom rubber feet. Quality control a little off that day i guess.

The back was ok but look how far off the front it is....

Interesting case for water cooling. Looks like you could get a 60mm thick radiator up top there.

Are you going to be removing the drive bays in the front?

Subbed!

Thats why I told you a 480 upfront knuckle head. LOL. Trust me, it will work out, like I told you.

Hey Thanks. Just getting started today. Still thinking about whats getting removed and what hardware and all that jazz.. a 60mm thick will work to answer your Q.

Measurements for future use.

Front height



Front Opening Width



Top Length

 

[Hanoverfist]

A 480 is too long for the Front.. 360 on the other hand is perfect

Here is the Color Electric Orange

I'm a big fan of MSI for the 1155 socket. Out of all the 1155 boards I have used (ASUS P8P67 Vanilla, Maximus IV GENE-Z, ASRock E4 G3, MSI Z77A-GD65) I like my MSI the most. I had memory problems on the gene-z while filling all 4 dimms. THe MSI has the nicest bios and looks the best as well IMO. It is also a lot better priced then the ASUS overpriced crap IMO. Features like OC Genie and Dual bios are really nice.

I am also a big fan of MSI because RMA is really easy in Canada from what I read on Canadian sites.

I am going to be swapping out for the MSI Z77 Mpower simply for aesthetics soon.

I know I am kind of a fanboy.

I actually want to see this! As for motherboards, are you looking to SLI and crossfire perhaps?

Thanks.. I should have made myself a little clearer on the MB.. Should have a Black and Orange theme as well.. This Build will not be my main gaming rig .. More of a CaseMod Practice for me. and Also i got bored after Finishing My last build. Probably Go up for sale after Completion. Who knows..
