Take out the fan mounted in the top of the Luxe and mount it in the bottom as an intake, and put the Triton in the top. RAID 0 those HDD's for faster rendering (though backups must be performs regularly). Enough juice in the PSU to allow for SLI.

Not exactly small form factor, but it works. Seidon 120m to tame the CPU (should be able to reach 4.4ghz). Remove the rear fan of the Z3 Plus and mount it in the front as an intake. Mount the Seidon in the rear as an intake to help keep positive air pressure. Enough juice in the PSU for future crossfire, although the 2nd card must be one of those short form factor R9 285's from Sapphire, the HDD cage in the bottom of the Z3 is fixed.

Huh?
Didn't know you could RAID 0 HDD's, thought they were only for SSD's.

Of course you can. It's just software (unless the RAID is being performed via a controller, but even then it's using software).
