It is. The way it came out the tubes were so far away that it was really hard to make it not crooked. I can always change it but I will need a second person or a new case that will allow me to adjust it better.

 

@JoaoPRSousa thanks

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Why? Also are you asking me a question or making a statement? Which case did you have in mind? I have a Fractal Design r5 brand new but I'm returning it to Microcenter tomorrow.

Because you have over just under 2 grand worth of GPU's in a case with very limited 

air flow and cable management if you are looking for value look at the Enthoo pro and luxe cases

nice specs, i think with all the money spent on nice components a better design case to show off them gpu's would be an investment. and make the cpu heat sink straight. otherwise a good job done. 

got to love Asus components
