Very nice and clean!
I'd recommend removing that hard drive bay though, as there's nothing in it and improve your airflow!

Thanks,

I'm thinking of putting a intake fan on the bottom near the psu.

I was going to remove the hard drive bay at first but might put another hdd in there

If you want to install another HDD, why not putting the SSD behind the motherboard tray? I know, it's a little more work again, because you've already assembled it, but it's the same thing I did with my SSD in my Define R4

When building it, at first i was thinking of putting the ssd behind the motherboard tray but for convenience i just put it were it is now. (Plus i'm too lazy to change it now, lol) Still very good airflow with how the top hdd trays are facing. Absolutely love the case.

I'm so happy i went from console gaming to pc gaming, better graphics and more games!

 

Also too, have you had the thumb screws for the side panels strip on you? One on each side has for me. I might have tightened them too much.
