Monster case and modded gt's

Off to a great start

Nice case, little brother to my fusion 4000. Fan blades turned out really nice for sure, red or black connectors would have been a nice touch though. Keep it up, will be a great build for sure !

Pumps I'll control by mother board or I'll build my own controller from here:

Cable system I'm leaving at the end.

I get my Bitspower D5 dual top and it doesn't have mount. Is there any idea where can I order original mounts like those:
http://www.bitspower.com.tw/index.ph...oducts_id=3128
I saw there is (UN) Designs as an option as well or I'll do my own custom mount - haven't decide

Is there any suggestion what should I do with top fan holes - are they enough for air flow or I need to cut them bigger - please check photos.
Feel free to leave some comments I trust experienced people

Thanks.

I would cut the holes a little larger and make your own top mount with some plexi or steel !

I wouldnt worry too much about the top. I am using the same case and have a 480 mounted up top (no modding required) and a 240 mounted in the bottom. It may look restricted somewhat, but there is good air flow thru the top. I was going to do the same but elected not too.

I really enjoyed working with the Genesis case. It is slightly bigger than a HAF 932 (interior) and allows for different configurations. I went with an inverted mobo. A 120.2 or 140.2 rad mounts in the botton with no modding, but the stock mounting holes position the rad to one side or the other. I made my own holes and mounted a 120.2 in the center at the back. With a 120.2 rad in the btm, you can still use the largest PSU (I am using an AX1200i) and have lots of room between the PSU and rad. A 140.2 will be tight. Just be careful if you have mobo mounted to the tray and have it removed. The mobo tray is flimsy when removed and your mobo can flex. I hacked up the case's USB3 cable and made it into a 90deg plug so it isnt so fuggly, and sleeved it and all other wiring. Got pics of rig if you want.

Good luck with build and looking forward to seeing this finished.
