It is going to take a while until I get it, saving money(probably 2 months IDK)

Anyone got this set up with a closed loop cooler as an intake on the front?

before i went custom loop i had a 280mm AIO at the front as intake in pull config.

[Wesleydn]

 how were cpu and gpu temperatures with that setup?

CPu was 35ish in idle and 55ish under load.

MY gpu was on a G10+Aio so temps where about the same as CPU

Finished My build. It's got a Core i7 3770k cooled by kraken x41, asrock extreme6 mobo, 16gb ram, 2x gtx970 in sli (wanted the reference cards for the awesome glowing geforce logos hehe), 480gb sandisk ultra II, and 4 other HDD that I use for storage varying in size from 250gb to 1.5tb. I have the Nvidia glowing sli bridge but I am bummed because the spacing on my mobo does not allow me to use it!!! When i upgrade my mobo and cpu I will surely include it! Dark shot included!

Very nice, can you show us your cable management?

[n4v1ns]

Very nice, can you show us your cable management?

 

Sure. Although It's not very pretty . What I like about the case is that the part that is showing through the window looks great even though all this chaos is going on behind the other panel. Also I am in the process of changing motherboard and CPU so I will update when complete!

I have the black and red 440, have a few corsair AF red led 120 mm fans coming, and gonna buy an nzxt LED strip.  What color led sleeve strip should i get? Is red too much overkill? Or should I go with white

[79wjd]

How easy do you guys find it to remove the front panel because the front panel on my phantom 530 is near impossible and feels like it will break every time. Need to know since easy dust cleaning is a must for me and need access to that front filter. If things don't work out, I might have to go to the fractal side!

It comes off pretty easily.

use the white, all the red will do is bleach you reds and wash the blacks.

[jaggysnake57]

well im just waiting for my cable combs to come hopefully they come today and then its done and i will post pics!

Has anyone tried running the system with the rear 140mm, and top 360mm as intake with front 240mm as exhaust? 

 

I'm curious as I think most of the noise coming from my computer is coming from my seidon 240mm exhausting out the top towards me (whereas exhausting at the front would blow away from me). 

 

So any thoughts/experiences on how everything would play out? 

[airdeano]

i have (sort of) i ran this:

front 360 intake and top 240 intake and rear exhaust. temps were fine with fans

at sub 1000 rpm. all intakes were filtered.

 

thinking to use panty hose as a filter element along the venting holes of the

panels and remove the installed filters. reason is the front is a bit floppy and

can hit the fan blades.

[SYPH]

Is cable management in this case easy? Might pick one up.

It is if you're patient. My back panel slides on like a glove.

I'm thinking about putting in the asrock board with blue accents, and white extensions for the psu into the white/black h440, not sure if it'll look good. Can you remove the the accents and plasti-dip it?

That's what i did. It's not too hard. Make sure you don't plastidip the part that connects to the steel frame or you'll have a hard time taking them off.
