900D fully liquid cooled project

Maybe your solution is better. I just haven't considered it.

Push/pull in the bottom compartment is really only possible if one of the 480 radiators is 60mm tick. Two 80mm tick radiators (like I have) won't allow push pull. You can have the fans on either end, but there is no room for a set of fans in the middle between the two radiators...

But if I had this solution I'd have to mod the top to fit the PSU... And I'd need a good solution for the pumps. However with a different solution for the pumps I'd need a different res solution because the reservoir has to be higher placed than the pumps...

It's not that easy finding a good solution. You keep brainstorming, maybe you find a solution and I will adjust a few things in my system...

What I was thinking was to centralise the radiator towards the middle of the case (360 rad) with fans on either side. And then with rigid tubing have the tubes flowing past the grilll of the case on either side with UV green so it lights up. I might cut the grills on the 900d and replace it with some acrylic + vent holes in someway just to present it a little better. hmm I'm going to play with sketchup tonight.

Building in such a huge case and still making it look packed, while tidy is pretty difficult.

You nailed it.

I'm still not overly happy with the graphic cards cable management. I think I need to redo that. But I don't see how I can make it look neat... I would need custom length cables for that...

You could try stitching the cabling to make it more uniform. Would be easier to hold its shape when you try to make adjustments. There is a post on here somewhere how to do it, but I can't find it.

my temporary solution at the moment is that I have the GPU cables running parallel with the end of my gpu cards. I have just Zip tied the cables to the cards. they come out from the grommet where the sata ports are.

I redid the wiring on the graphic cards. Looks better now IMO

Where you have pushed the cables under the pate at the bottom could you not then come back out through that grommet, with the gpu power cables?

that way they might hug the bottom of the lower gpu? then keep them cable tied?

I don't follow. You see the Corsair AX1200i PSU has a total of 8 connectors on the PSU. These 8 have to cover CPU and GPU cables.

In my case I used one of those for the 8-Pin for the CPU, one for the 6-Pin connector on the motherboard for PCIe Power and then I only had 6 left. Now if I had 6x 8-Pin cables all this wouldn't be a problem. But what I have is, 4x 8-Pin and 2x 8 + 8-Pin.

Because of this, I'm kinda forced to use the two 8+8-Pin cables... They look weird if they are connected to one card (look at TTL's GPU reviews).

This is all i ment, was not saying anything about how you wired and were they had to come from was just wondering if this is what you meant by neater.

Oh... This is a good Idea. Maybe I should redo it like you suggested. Might even look better!

Just thought it might hide them a little better and show off your gpus
and i forgot to put push that cable up with the others

What can I say besides: You were right. Looks better! Thanks! ^_^

im glad you think so, shame they could not be pulled tighter.

but it is the finishing touches that make a case.
