    Why is PSU upside down? Ventilation? Cable management?

    Just askin. It's a nice concept.

    I had my psu upside down since the one I've been using has short cables and they didn't reach otherwise.

    I have had that problem with stuff being just a little too short all my life.

    Wait that didn't come out right.

    I love this small enclosure.
    Your idea looks promising, can't wait to see more. :rock:

    (maybe an idea to place a 200 mm rad in the top, it gives a tight appearance)

    I have been looking in to that! I'm going to be reciving a 3x120 from X500 soon, so for the time being I'm going to attempt to fit that in there some how.. Been playing with it in sketch up and it's getting tight quick.

    I will be in contact with him once I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Need to size up this 3x120mm radiator. If I can't get that to fit I will be using a 2x120mm radiator. I'm also playing with an idea of etching orange acrylic with black paint on the surface.

    Something like this. Also considering doing it on the front door of the case.

    Pretty much the same idea I have for my Sniper case mod. Radiator at top, direct tubing routing and lower panel to pump and reservoir? The design work on the mid-plate panel is nice idea. I might need to borrow that. If I get a theme.

    I found the design on a T-shirt a while ago, always thought it was nifty.

    What we've got here is a 3x120mm radiator, 2 120mm fans, a 140mm fan. some Lian Li Aluminum, a template for a slot load dvd drive, some cable sleeving and a danger den pump.

    Now I'm excited.
