In theory you could have 2x 240mm rads 1x 280mm, 1x 120 and a 140mm all at the same time if you really tried.  It'd be interesting to see a really good custom loop in one with hard piping.  I'd love to do it but I'm taking a break from watercooling, too much effort since im always in and out of my case for upgrades.

That's a nice, solid build with nothing too flashy. Good work.

Thank you, I like to see a flashy machine with outrageous design but I could never have one of those on my desk, so I prefer a clean aesthetic

Just wondering, is there a reason why you didn't but your second graphics card in the bottom PCI-E slot?

Nice build! I really like that case. Seems much easier to work in than my lian li cube. The way you ran the radiator makes good use of the otherwise overally large front cutout and seeing the radiator through the gap is nice. Whats the case temps like with the radiator intaking?

Because the bottom slot is 8x, I ended up moving the gpu there last night after determining there was no performance hit.

the hot air from the radiator never makes it to the side of the case with the GPUs so temps arent really affected

I feel like the ram color mixes well with the build. I didn't even notice at first. ^_^
