Corsair 780t case

 

Some of the images show a ZXR soundcard, I've swapped that out for the AE-5. The res looks dirty in this pic due to the lighting i used for the photo:

 

Had to remove the lower bit of the 5.25 cage to fit the XE360 rad.

 

The 1080ti backplate has been modded to make it compatible with the EK waterblock.

Damn, that is one gorgeous build.

Were you disappointed with the quality of the case? I was shocked at how flimsy it is.

It is a bit flimsy, the way it flexes when you lift it could be an issue with a hardline tubed build.

Yeah, I was referring to the side panels. They're atrocious. Though I suppose on the plus side you can just bend them back. But still.

I'm selling one from a build I bought, and the panel gaps and flex just....aren't what I'd expect from such an expensive case. I was sad. Even though I had no intention of ever keeping it.

 

I love the look of the panel on the front. Just noticed you installed the Asus kit. That, and Lamptron fan controllers are the only things that make me consider getting a big case with drive bays.

My side panels aren't too bad, the back one sticks out a little on one corner but I have a heap of stuff hidden in the back which pushes on it.

 

Corsair did a concept of this case that was carbon fibre and tempered glass, but I dont think they are planning to release it.

Unfortunately the Asus frontbase isn't compatible with my current motherboard, I was using it on my old x79 build,I left it there because it looks better than the plastic bits that came with the case.

I actually have a story for this. So one time I lost a screw in my already fully built system so I ended up shaking my case upside down and even through all that rigor there were no leaks at all and I got the screw out.

This is the first time I've seen a custom loop with a 780t, it looks amazing. I was thinking of putting a custom loop with mine, I think I'll use this as my reference  Thanks
