I've been waiting so long to start a portal case mod. This case, it just speaks to me. Just gonna jot down the thoughts.
Couple variants as far as the liquid cooling goes:
-420 and a 280(240 if needed to clear power cables) radiators. Dual loops, double bay split reservoir,2 pumps, orange(cpu)+ blue(gpu) coolant. Transparent tubing.
-A single 420 rad. Bay res. Single loop(cpu+gpu). Solid(color) orange and blue tubing, orange in, blue out, switching at cpu and res.
-A single 420 rad. Bay res. Single loop(cpu+gpu). Transparent tubing, white coolant.
Modify the side window, cut out a rectangle shape, replace with one way glass or acrylic with proper in case lighting to get a laboratory testing look similar to observation windows in portal. Paint the aperture spiral logo on bottom front plate. Print or paint a companion cube mural on back side panel.
Wishful thinking.

Wow this case looks great! Im thinking of chopping in my Phantom for one of these, also tempted to try a watercool for the 1st time so gonna have a read about the forums to get an insight into it all. Just purchesed some all white bitfenix extension cables to so hopefully they will look kinda cool in the switch 810

I thought of your Phantom build when I saw this case, i'd be annoyed as well to be honest if the same happened to me.

My thoughts exactly, the Cosmos II is definitely the better built but for options and water cooling the Switch beats it hands down and for less than half the price. Even the cables are all braided and NZXT give you their premium braided 8 pin extension cable, Cooler masters cables aren't braided and they give you a cheap 8 pin extension cable, for £350 you'd expect them to have braided the cables and given you a good 8 pin extension.
Have most of my WC gear sat here waiting for the case to be released to finally do my project , really cant wait!

that link you gave says out of stock now lol but if I could find it cheaper this cat wont mind lol his shipping calculation actually came out to 68$ I was like ok lets haggle here. got him to 200$ shipped which imho is a good deal to beat the rest of ya lot
Besides i have searched hi and lo and cant find any retailers for it yet. I think that NZXT link you gave was for pre-order but I cant find the sale day release info yet
I mean he after all kept trying to dissuade me from bying it as we are so far apart shipping was going to kill it. but i told him I WANT THAT CASE NOW!!!! lmao
EDIT I got it for 190$ shipped
he refunded me 10$ because shipping turned out cheaper when paid and shipped thru paypal
EDIT I got it for 190$ shipped
