Criticize my Custom Case Design

Unilision

After a while of roaming the forum and becoming interested in doing a custom case, I built one that I think would suit me the best, although it's a ridiculously size... Just a bit smaller than the Corsair 900D, I will make it smaller, but it was fun adding on so many radiators on there. With 2 480 on top, 2 480 on the bottom and 1 360 on the front, I know already that it's probably impossible, but back on topic.

 

I hope to see if you all could help me out on things that I could change, the only thing I had to add was a panel for the side panels as dust filter but I kind of got a tad lazy to do it.

 

Here's a few image for you, tell me what you think of it ?

I plan on making a custom power button of what you see on the side panel. Hoping I could place it in the center of the front panel

Currently the dimension is 278mm x 648mm x 650mm (W x D x H)

 

Any changes you believe I should do besides making it smaller ?

It's just a rough draft, I'm going to make it smaller, change up a few things to make it so that PSU isn't going to interfere with fans, and etc

I only made so many because I got lazy, it's still in planning stages, the idea is go for an average full tower case, and add in a few more PCI slots afterwards.

Yeah that's what I plan to do, to add in a print on the glass + having a custom case window, and no it was just for fun, to see how many fans I could add in to a case the same size as a corsair 900D, I plan on making it so that you can fit a 360 on top, 240-360 on front, and 360 on bottom, that's too many and too costly :(

Off topic: Haha it's ironic with this case too because I plan on getting the MSI Z97 SLI Krait Edition Soon xD

That's fine, but what would you do than in your own opinion that would be suitable for a case than ? Any other criticism would be awesome

Yeah I agree, it's really the only white motherboard unless you get either the Asus Sabertooth Mark 1 or Asus Formula VII and plastidip it to white, yeah I was looking for that too after I saw it

I said to myself "I need this, where must I go to buy this beast" haha
