Thanks i plan on fixing it tomorrow so the rad sits flush with the top panel or at least flat, right now if you were put a tennis ball or marble on the top it would just roll right off the side. You can see how slanted it is and that just annoys me a lot, also i am going to put my ultra kaze 3Ks on the rad and see what kind of temps i get. Right now i got my 120 X 25mm 88cfm yate loons on and they are remarkably quiet compared to before but then again i had like 5 yate loons in my case when i first had the case and it was really loud.

very clean looking. i love it.
I would recommend that if you cut a huge flat plate like that again, That you take a piece of wood and screw it in from the bottom to help hold the shape. It would keep you dremel from taking off on you also. Besides that, it looks really nice. I have a CM690 for the GF and like the way it looks. I might get a thinner rad and try to hid it under the mesh. Thanks for the great idea.

The rad wont fit under the mesh unless the rad is like half an inch thinner than mine and even then it might not fit.

I have one. At first I ran a double although I am now running a 360.
I Like how you mounted the Rad. I tempted to change my loop and do the same

How'd you mount a 360? Were you the one who cut out the HDD cage and put it at the bottom?

Oh I mounted it in the top of the case, same way I did with a double. It does mean you lost the front IO but I just got a io thing for the drive bays.

What rad are you using? I swear I saw a few builds using a MCR220 rad between the metal of the case and the grill of the top. Of course, now I can't find it. The MCR is 1.3" thick for reference.
