Hello all, I recently went out and got a ekwb kit since it was on clearance after someone bought it, didn't use anything, and returned it to a local microcenter. I decided to just install everything and learn about watercooling then. However, I realized how much I hate my case once I started working on it. It has been a few months since then and I'm itching to build something again. Perfect time to get a new case! Only problem is, I am having difficulty deciding.

 

Here is the recent pic:

Just going to say this now because everyone online always seems to ask this:

"1000W psu? You don't need that! Why do you have it?"

My answer:

"It was cheap and has worked for a long time."

The Enthoo Pro M TG can fit that 360mm rad at the top and even has an optional pump bracket you can buy to replace the 3.5" drive sled in it

(This one has a slightly modified PSU shroud, the stock ones looks like this:)

As for someone would built in the case its hard for his set up to work there :) since his pump and res are separate if he has tall rap at all it wont work. same with his GPU if its long it also wont work

There is one big problem I have with this case.

 

The reservoir options are pretty limited for me since there are little dimples along where the reservoir should be. This was the only spot I was able to get a solid connection and it is blocking my USB3.0 connector for the case connector to the MOBO.

 

Also, I really don't want to rivet out the ODD bay since I can't remove it.

Nice job on that build! Did you have difficulty getting those fans on there for the upper rad? I had to shove mine into place and the left most fan doesn't have screws in the back, it is just lodged between the rad and my 8pin.

Sorry, thats not my build! :( But I did just have my friend build in this case with a 360mm AIO from Fractal Design, and he had no issues installing it (other than he removed the radiator bracket, looked into the case and told me there wasn't anywhere to mount the rad at the top :D)
