Alex, Do you mean 480 rad up top ?

nah no point for me to get a 480 i only have single 230mm fan up there.. it would take some Melba serious case modding i think.

i meant a 200.1 like this phobya in this unboxing video

is there any room in behind the mobo tray to hide some of the wires?

Caselabs FTW

Hey thanks very much!

dude there isnt much clearance behind the tray at all (less than 1 inch i think), im having enough trouble closing the case without a buldge the way it is.. see pic

it needs some major work!

i wouldnt have this problem if it werent for all the peripherals tho i need my hd space tho

i have windows on a 128ssd
games and software on a 1Tb hdd
a 3Tb hdd full of movies and other assorted media
and a fast filling 3Tb spanned volume with tv and other assorted downloads
so until i get another pc just to stream over a home group its gonna be a little cramped in there unless i could acquire some magic cable management powers

New UV cold cathodes

I just put in four 4 inch UV cold cathodes and they make the tubes and coolant look pretty cool pitty the white acetal completely blocks out uv light and does not light up the reservoir at all maybe ill get a couple blue leds or something eventually.. heres a pic

[alex5389]

Now if I could only win the lottery...

*sigh* me too

but i dont play

maybe i should?

[Father Fuzzy]

Those 4 inch cathodes did a nice number on the tubing
looks great

too bad about the clearance in the case
that issue drove me so crazy I bought a caselabs Th-10
no issues with shutting the doors or wires now
but a bigger issue trying to fill it up lol
come on lotto

You can't win if you don't Play.

You can't win if you don't Play.

thats what my dad always said..

Two old jews are sitting on a park bunch talking. Moysha says to Abram "why wont god just let me win the lottery?".
Abram goes home and asks god why he wont let Moysha win the lottery, God replies "maybe I would, if he played!".

I too have an SSD for my O/S; but have opted to use external drives to hold my extra programs/ data storage, one being E-SATA, and another being USB 3.0

This makes cable routing a little more manageable

Tell me... Sitting at CaseLabs website for a week now ... m u s t... g o... a w a y...

Daz, You know you must resist the Force !

[DazMode]

You can use clear plug with LED hole and put UV led into it to make liquid glow inside reservoir. We have bitspower ones...

DAZ i couldnt find them in the storecan i get a link possibly?

i found xspc ones but im not sure thats what i need?

[alex5389]

uv diodes for water block?

Ok so im not sure but i think i can feel two holes on the bottom of my cpu water block do you think if i bought two UV leds they will light up my fluid through the plexi? or should i kust go with blue?

[Hooded]

BitsPower Clear Stop with 5mm led hole

You'll need 3mm leds for the cpu block

That Rosewill case is pretty damn nice. Would have to replace that side mesh with window though.
