i have the 700d mate and i really like it was a big improvement over my old case and the space is awsome

[ZodiarK]

Can't wait to see what you have changed/kept

Water cooling is pretty much a must with that case.

Water cooling is pretty much a must with that case.

with the 700d its not anywhere near as bad as its made out to be with the 800d not sure if there's any significant differences except the hot swaps being taken out and a fan running below the hard drives

all stock corsair fans are still in there and i have 3 enermax clusters in the roof and then my nh-d14

Adding ven X

Removed stock

Ven X set up

still moore to add changed cards,cooler and powersupply and did some sleeving.

Right the further to the build i took out the 5770's and added a 5970 black edition

I was benching a cool-it eco and for some reason maybe due to a crappy seat the eco outperformed my ven x massivly so i kept it in...

i then doubled up the only intake into the 800d with a 120mm nzxt 9blade

Some overall pictures

Right next ill add new psu, cable tiding and sleeving i did and then benchmarks.. overall finish etc until i go back to full water cooling maybe when i have time during xmas holidays.

Ihave no issues with this thing with air it could be better, but i find it fine to handle a 4.5 oc and decent oc on the card.
