Very well, you asked for it, so I caved and made an account. Your site mentions watercooling (for the very brave) and you claim to support a specific reservoir, however there is no way to put a pump in the case without giving up a GPU or something important. (BTW i consider that a strength of your current design, I really like your approach of doing one thing really well and to hell with anything else that it cant do; efficient!) This is crazy because if you're not going to do a dual GPU setup, it would be a waste of the potential of this case!
 
however... Aiboh's recent post that included the ATX PSU got me thinking... what about a design with an SFX PSU in a similar position? The idea being with a few minor concessions in size, we might be able to support a fully internal CPU and 2xGPU custom watercooling loop.
 
To start we would need to move the SFX PSU to above the CPU as you've been playing around with. Perhaps we could even put it on a similar mounting bracket as what you have right now with the AIO coolers, that way, if you need to work on something, you unplug the cables from the PSU and swing it out.
 
The next step is to make a bracket that is attached to the top and/or back side panel of the case in which you could place a small pump/res combo. Pick out a popular to support as you did with that reservoir. the only thing left is to make sure there is enough clearance to route wires and tubing and for the rads, (I imagine this bracket might also be where we stick our SSDs but lets be honest: if I have the money for this, I could probably be bothered to upgrade to M.2).
 
To me, this would mean:
make the top of the PSU rest flush with the top of the mobo the pumpres sit flush with the front of the mobo and as close to the access side panel as common right angle fittings allow. there would need to be an increase in size to allow for clearance for the GPU waterblock connections, this might prove handy later.* the last component is to allow for at least 2*240 (4x120 is a good floor for this many components) slim rads and fans on the front and the either the top or the bottom, (but not both), I'm leaning towards the bottom but it might be up to cooling performance. not necessarily a requirement, but you would probably be daft not to use custom length cabling. finally we reach the problems/unknowns for me.
Clearly this is not meant for practicality, so it would be WAY harder of a sell than the current implementation of the Nova that you were already worried about because... ... it would cost more to assemble the case since there are now a few more pieces and... ... this design likely precludes the use of most AIOs and aftermarket heatsinks if you don't want to build a custom loop. (although you seem confident that it wouldn't in previous posts, I still consider it a mark against this design) This is likely pushing what's capable of an SFX PSU, pretty much no headroom. I have a feeling that the pump in the spot that it would be in would prevent access to the RAM on most builds. I think that would mean that the loop would have to be drained and the pump and possibly that bracket on which it sits be removable. This would be a PAIN to leaktest IMO. I know this has a snowballs chance in hell and if I ever wanted a case like this, odds are I'd be using protocase myself, but damn it if it wouldn't be the sickest build ever.
 
BTW totally psyched about the Nova anyway, count me in.
