At this point I am waiting on the remaining fittings to arrive, should be here on Friday. I also haven't decided if i want to dremel out some of the 5.25 bay to allow the Phobya rad to mount flush, it's at about a 5 degree angle with no modding to the front of the case.

Great start. I love this case. If you ask me, you should go ahead and mod the case so the phobya rad is flush (vertical). It will look much better and it's going to drive you nuts if you don't - i'm not sure how hard it will be to do though. I'm not sure what your final plans are but there looks like you keep going with the red details. Maybe switch out the fans inserts for red? I look forward to seeing the next update.

I checked out the 5.25 and it wouldn't interfere with my pump placement, so that is going to happen. I threw away the stock red rings for the sp120's, I'm going to custom paint the white ones. Should have a final update late tomorrow or Saturday.

Update:

​Tore down the everyone in hopes of modding the 5.25 bays to fit the 200mm rad.

Here is a pic of the mod i had to do in order to fit the 360 in the roof of the case.

Turns out that i would need to cut out way more of the 5.25 that i originally thought, but i think i found a great solution

I just love Corsair cases, and love when people put in watercooling loops into them. Yours is looking great! Hope to see more pics soon.

Update:

Remaining fittings arrived on Friday but I wasn't able to complete the loop until Sunday. In my initial mockup i had placed my GFX card in the 2nd PCIe slot, not realizing that the 2nd slot only runs at 8x. Of course I realized this after i had filled my loop but luckly i had given myself enough slack to move the card up to top slot without further modification. I still need to paint the white rings on the sp120's and i need to figure out something different for the lighting because the red Alchemy strip turns everything orange.
