I made an internal layout in SketchUp and wondered if a case like that actually existed :)

Thanks for the help!

Thats MY opinion up there, not the ultimate option.

Not that I know of, and that top fan above the PSU will be useless.

It's hard to explain through text, but basically where the fan is blocked it will build up pressure, and when it gets to high it will escape the place with the least resistance and that place would be through the gap ;)

looks interesting but that psu placement is just awful 

I can put op the file on 3d warehouse, then you can feel free to place it somewhere else, if the case keeps the dimensions, send me pics :)

 

There it is: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=u4ed25176-8dc5-4c1d-ba42-01451d4bb5e7

 

 

Also if i use a watercooler, it wont be a problem.

That wouldn't help cool the system at all.

The layout is horrible and leaves no space for the cpu cooler.

-Me 2015 ;p

There wouldn't be enough space for the tubing, psu cabling, and airflow.

There is ~40mm space and for example the Seidon 120M block is only 27mm tall.

I don't mean under the psu--I meant there isn't space in the case for everything to fit while allowing for ample airflow.

There ya go http://puu.sh/efeo5/e90bd58ef0.jpg. Remember it's just a sketch. If you feel you make something better in around the same size i would love if you would share it :)

Think of where the tubing would have to go.. 

I have my own plans but they may or may not be posted depending on how things go.

Maybe through the 3.5" bay?

Please do post your plans, it's actually quitefun to play around with sketchUp

I prefer Maya. I'd like to say I'm still working on things but my project has been temporarily postponed.

I would have to say that the whole thing has to be a little wider, or the PSU mounted at the bottom. Other than that it looks interesting :)
