No, I'd have to destroy the stock coolers to do that.

 

Thanks for all the comments, quite happy with the end result, wish I could get my hands on a new windowed side panel though, this one is pretty beat up.

Played around with the camera settings a bit, really need to get someone with a DLSR and skills to take photos of it for me though.

Wow, looks amazing!

 

I'm building my first ever PC and was wondering how you sleeve your cables? Do you just buy pre-sleeved cables or do you manually sleeve them yourself? Also, currently I'm doing an air cooled build since its my first time, but where do you recommend as a starting place for me to learn about water cooling?

 

Thanks

I sleeved my case cables myself but my powersupply cables were sleeved by www.icemodz.com, if you're interested in learning how to sleeve i'd check out http://www.youtube.com/user/lutro0, he has some good guides.

If you want to learn about watercooling there's always http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/36-water-cooling/ , then you could search on Linus tech tips youtube, http://www.youtube.com/user/LinusTechTips/search?query=watercooling+guide .

I'd also check out http://www.youtube.com/user/TimeToLiveCustoms/search?query=watercooling+guide and http://www.youtube.com/user/SingularityComputers/search?query=watercooling+guide .

I have a windowed sidepanel from a Raven02 but I have to replace the plexi, install some sound deadening foam and give it a bit of a shine before I start using it.

I know this might be the noobest question ever

But I'm building a WC FT02 also, and after I disassembled 85% of the case I DON'T seem to be able to take off the HDD rack.

What kind of screws are these and how can you remove them for the love of god

What tools should I use ?

Those are rivets not screws. You can either find a small drill bit and drill it out or pop them off (super carefully) with a set of pliers or small screwdriver, maybe with an awe.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
