[voidfahrenheit]

you really are creative on this one. it's so nice that you have lots of time and place where you can do your mod.

question: where are you going to place your HDDs/SSDs?

Thank you

Well i planned to place them on bottom of the case in between radiator holder and psu, or at rear bottom of the case beneath water pump.

I plan to swap out this 120gb Intel 520 i have currently with 256GB + 1024GB Intel SSDs, as i will start building watercooled NAS in upcoming months. So all mech. drives are swapped out, and only moving parts remaining are water pump and 3 bionic eLoop fans ( which are dead silent in idle, and you can barely hear them in full load - cooling configuration is very efficient )

that's literally COOL

can't wait to see your final build. mine is still Mark I coz I'm still planning to modify it in the future.

Wow, she's beautiful. I had a good chuckle - I used the same "transplant the rear IO plate from an old case" method just last week. Congrats on your new machine, very impressive.
