After using a Thermaltake Core X9 for 2 years I felt the amount of space it took up was a bit much for me. I wanted to showcase a bit more of my rig and as the X9 was huge but also it only had a single side window. I've been eyeballing the P5 for a while now but I didn't like the fact that it only covered one side it wasn't as appealing to me... Then they introduced the Tempered Glass edition which added a piece on both the front and top (when oriented as anATX case)!
Since it was about time for the yearly teardown( ok I slacked off a bit for an extra 3 months) and cleaning, I felt it was a good time to switch to the P5. Decided I was going to try my hand at a full rigid tube build and removing the Mo-Ra3 from the loop. The Mo-Ra was beastly good but was such a pain if I wanted to move or needed to do some work or maintenance. Imagine having to move both a X9 AND a Mo-Ra3 to do draining and whatever needed to be done... switched it out for a 140x3 Blackice Nemesis Xflow which has so far been more than enough for my 6700k and 980Ti with mild OC. 980 to never breaks 50c while 6700k seems to go up to 75c but it seemed to do that when the Mo-Ra was also in the loop. May consider a delid and a thermal paste replacement.
Although I may reintroduce it into the loop if I can cop myself 2 1080 Ti FTW3 when they release. I'm quite satisfied with the results and with a bit more room around the desk area it doesn't feel so cluttered!
Edit: pics don't seem to be uploading and I'm getting an error on my end. 
I'll get it up as soon as I can! so sorry everyone!
pics are up. pardon the bad quality, they are on my phone. I hope to have it wall mounted sometime in a couple of weeks though
