    If size is not an issue build your own box from fiber board (MFD board). Give it 4" extra depth so the connectors at the rear stay within the case. Make the back panel of the case a door and let the cables out along the edge. That way you don't have to tinker with the I/O panel (just an L-profile so the PCI cards get some support). For mounting the 5.25" drives you can use the sheet metal contraption torn from a cheap case. Get a hole saw and place fans any place you want.

    ^^ word. Rogue 5 is one of those and I am very satified with the overall quality of it. Cheaper case = more money for parts right?

    Do you think that case ( http://www.xoxide.com/aspire-x-cruiser-case-black.html ) should be enough for whole watercooling system,sleeving,4 fans,2x Criticool Reservoirs,3x HDD's,LCD,DVD rw,Lian li thermal monitor,Mitron 5,25" controler, 12" vantec cold cathode and many more leds.


    And another thing that bother's me - can i drill 120mm front blowhole instead of the usual 80mm one?Look at the front picture and tell me,becouse i want to mount 120mm Aerocool Turbine 3000 Black Fan.
