That UV lighting looks sick dude.

10/10

Thanks! 

Its a 170mm Res as far as the length, Its also quite fat 65mm in diameter.

 

I will also say i am not satisfied with the quality of the window. Its not even close to being clear. It has a very noticeable fogginess to it and it makes the hardware look blurry from the outside. I much would prefer a clear or properly tinted acrylic. This is sort of smoked acrylic and it does not tickle my fancy at all.

The rest of the case is dam near perfect tho

Updated with new pics!

very interesting that you don't like the window. From all the images I've seen the window seems fine.

 

Well, I'm not worried. Was planning on getting the non-windowed version anyway.

Its okay when its dark in the room, but if you have the lights on its hard to see the hardware clearly. Its Weird.

Finally a build in the enthoo pro. Don't get how little coverage these cases have gotten. They're freaking awesome!

[daemonowner]

Maybe we should start petitioning Phanteks to release a better quality window for the Pro as an accessory, and make it reasonably well available (Amazon, Newegg perhaps...). If they listened they really would be awesome.

 

Done. Contacted Phanteks through their website. Waiting to get a response.

Looks great!

You should get a piece of glass cut and replace that window

you have great taste..  love the case, the reservoir, the xspc gpu block/backplate, love the blue tubing, and sick mobo.  

[Joey2Sites]

your build looks almost exactly the same as mine, except mine is red/white instead of blue/black.  and i dont have a water cooled gpu yet.  a 290x or a 780ti plus water block and back plate..  yikes.. a lot of money.  I'm debating using those new EK universal gpu blocks for my 270x.. just for chips and gigs.

[Emaxxnitro]

The Gpu block really is a big investment, i am not sure if i could recommend an XSPC one due to the fact that they use a plastic material for the threads where you screw the fittings in. I nearly stripped one out when i was screwing in one of the block off plugs. Just not the best design IMO. If i where to buy it again i would go with a koolance or a block with metal construction for the fitting ports.

 

Also the backplate really helps i think with the intense heat you get with the current gen amd's I'm not sure if i would have gotten the plate if i had a 780 or similar. My card is a ebay miner rescue and i couldn't turn down the price. Granted i usually buy nvidia cards i don't regret this purchase one bit.

 

I really don't think a 270X would be worth spending the money on a block, granted it would look good 

 

Oh i must ask you how do you like your psu? I'm really digging the superflower leadex platform and will probably be my next purchase, Probably in the 850w version as well.
