Yea i hadn't put much thought into that. Thanks man. Quick question for the community as well. The case has a tint on the window that I didn't notice before. Just curious how to make the components on the inside stand out a little bit more? I was thinking some white led s but not sure till I get the whole thing together.

We are told by phanteks, that at some point they will make a clear version, some people replace it with clear plexi, I found that having white light inside the case makes it pretty easy to see inside. But i myself am not a fan of the tinted window.
 
yea I didn't notice it until I actually had stuff inside it. Ill just end up getting some l.e.d.s to lighten it up in there to see more. haven't done enough with plexi glass to feel confident putting it on there. But I can always try.
 
Pictures to come today. Putting them through Photoshop. They are of the new GPU. 780 Classified with the EK water block on. Slowly coming together. Planning on maybe cutting the case up for a third radiator as well. Not sure how i feel about it yet.

Sorry that the build is so slow. Money is always an issue these days.
 
Also just ordered the Hard tubing and the bending kit for it today, along with the EK resevior and EVGA backplate for the GPU and waterblock
 
UPDATES

Got these parts about a week ago and actually have the waterblock attached. Have the EK res coming in the mail today along with the backplate for the GPU.

This is an update as of yesterday. Spent last night cutting the section of that just holds one of the 3.5" drive bays. The Res i ordered will not fit with how big the graphics card is. Also, did some very nice cutting on the bracket for the res, because the graphics cards just barely didn't fit with the way the bracket was before.

Have parts coming today to get more stuff up later.

Here I took the 90 and shaved down the sharp edges and tried to more refine the edge so i could paint.

This is the bracket that comes with the case as res. bracket. The Graphics card that i decided to get doesn't fit in its mounting position without getting rid of it, or cutting. so i figured just cut it a little and then take out the plate as above to be able to fit graphics card and keep the res bracket.

I cut it better than i expected. Almost looked factory when i was done with it. Paint is a little more glossy than that of the case. but with res on there wont make to much of a difference.

Thx. Res. is currently waiting at home for me so i get to test fit that. Didn't realize when i bought the 780 classy that it was going to be that monster of a GPU. Should run anything i want to throw at it though.
