This is an awesome forum, I couldn't have done my build without you guys! THANKS!

One other thing: After looking an looking for a way to get the media/eject keys to work on my apple keyboard in Windows, I finally came across THIS. Perhaps it would help someone else out as well.

Nicely done! Whatcha got going on underneath the HDD rack? I can't seem to make out what those are from the pic aside from the fans.

Ah, I should have mentioned that in the original post, that's a 120mm radiator with a shroud and 120mm fan on either side in a sort of push-pull setup.

Nicely done. Super clean job. What size is that big fan in front?

Hey thanks, the front fan is actually 180mm, and it fits just so. It over hangs the hdd rack about .75 on either side so there's a nice stream of air heading towards the add-in cards.

Too cool. I want my project to look almost exactly like this one.

You don't suppose two 180mm fans (without the radiator) would fit in front, do you? This guy seems to think it's possible, but I haven't seen a physical example.

Looking awesome! hope my one turn out nearly as good! Only thing I would try to sort out is the cable mess. Eventhough the water cooling seems to be cramping the space it looks really good. How did you attach the PSU to the top shelf? looks like you have brackets both in front and back of the psu? I only have a bracket in the front and will put industrial strength hook loop tape in the back.

Great job!

I was able to answer my own question. Someone was actually able to fit two 200mm fans in the front.
