I wanted that case so bad but it was out of stock for 2 months and I didn't want to wait. From what I've heard about the watercooling options, I'm happy I didn't.

Nice build!

Yea, fitting a reservoir in it would have been a bitch. 

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
