Very nice indeed. How hard was it to get the fans screwed into the side panel?

Would you say this case would be good for carrying around? Not all the time but to take it places every now and then?

Just as easy as screwing the fans to your H100 mate, got the same one..

Fully loaded, it's quite a heft, but across the room or to another, it's fine. Wouldn't recommend more than 5 minutes though, haha

 

[ProJulz]

So you mean you must have the long screws and they screw into the case from the inside? If so, does it come with those screws? I don't have any lying around unfortunately...

Not a big fan of the appearance of those Matrix cards.

However nice build...excellent work

Yeah, they come with 8 of those screws for mounting them to the side

An update!!

CPU is now stably running at 4.5Ghz

RAM is now at 2133Mhz

Having a problem with CPU-Z at the currant moment, can anyone help me with this? It doesn't show any details apart from stock details, I'm beginning to wonder if it's a bug, I've tried reinstalling, either way I'll be getting another SSD and will be linking them up in RAID 0, so that should neutralise the problem

Thank you very much for posting this. I have a CM Trooper case and didn't know if this hardware would fit. You've simultaneously demonstrated that the H100 fits and the Asus Rampage IV although it's e-atx and the case does not list e-atx as a compatible form factor also fits. I already figured it would overlap the openings for cable routing, but they still appear to be usable and not fully blocked off.

This also makes me want to add red LED fans in the side panel instead of my current unlit fans. Looks great, man.

 

[SparkleDJackson]

Oh hell yea

 

[BaMb1N0]

awesome! can't say anything else

You're very welcome, if you have any questions, I will happily answer anything you want

If you take your time you can get round it easily, I have 6 sata cables passing through and no problems whatsoever, further up I've (obviously) got the 24 pin power

and a USB 3.0 header. There's also plenty of room between the top of the motherboard and the H100!

The only problem with those side fans is that they run rather loud, and using the onboard fan controller, the LEDs flash! But thanks for your nice comments
