Can the H70 fans/rad fit on top without the PSU being there?

How do you like the performance of yer Silicon Edge blue?

Naw it won't fit as the motherboard is in the way. That was the first thing I was going to try. Love the WD SSD drive. Wouldn't mind getting another SSD for the rig. I'm going to revert the case back to the original configuration later on today with the PSU back to the bottom. If the hoses were longer and removable I'd mount the rad on the outside top of the case which is what antec seemed to have in mind for mounting rads.

I'm sure you could apply some tinsnips or a dremel to the top for a perfect pass-through fit. The red X being the hole cut, the Yellow box being the rad and the green boxes being fans.

Couple issues:

As long as you put a grill on the top fan and it doesn't go any higher than the top of the handles, which my or may not matter. As well the screws that go from the bottom fan that is still inside the case may not be long enough to connect to the rad outside the case.

From what I've read the handles come off when installing a rad on it. For now I'll keep the H70 where it is. Might invest in complete water cooling set someday. Not too keen on cutting the plastic on the top of the case however.

That's plastic up there? Thought it was some kind of aluminum or something. Carry on!

cable management isnt hard - it just takes a little planning and time. The case is pretty nice indeed and I like the layout.

No doubting that, here it is the other way with the motherboard on top and PSU on the bottom. Nice mess of wires lol.

After the novelty wears off in a few months I think I would like to get the 600T if they ever become available locally. Hoping MB might stock them someday or perhaps be able to order me one in.

Well - wire tie them together and shoot them ALL out the back. One at a time find the best and cleanest route possible to each peice of hardware. Tucking it away as best as possible outta sight - then run another then another until done.

it looks like your hdd is mounted sideways? Id say do 'er front to back with power and sata cable out the back ( well back side panel )

Patience and time dude is the only way to go.

EDIT: neat lil vid on it : http://www.carigamers.com/cms/forums/in ... =20333.new

once its all tidied you will feeling a lil....

Truth be told in a black case with all black wires, there is the same amount of mess, but it's all the same colour. You wanna see a mess in my nice and tidy PC?

Thats the 400$ pricetag for tidyness. I'm not zap strapping all the cables together, as it's a PITA to undo anything.

True Steve-o for what you can see from the side panel but you can also manage that hairbrush of wires out the back too. Some people do some dont. I know mine needs to be done with tidy'n the back panel where ya cant see lol
