The case will need some modding to accommodate the Water Cooling and the IR Window. The Radiator will be mounted on the side of the case and the the IR Window/Receiver will be mounted on the front panel. I got some rubber trim to act as a grommet for where I have to cut slots for the radiator hoses. I had to go with low profile memory because one of the radiator hoses will be coming out right above the RAM and there's not much clearance at all. I also went with a shorter video card because all this box will be doing is playing movies, I think the 750ti should be more then enough to handle it. I've been buying the pieces as they go on sale and I'm about half way done with my purchases. 

 

Any recommendations/comments?
