I've always had a weakness for the 500R. I like how you've taken out one side of the 5.25" bays. Makes the interior look very roomy. The front also looks very nice!

Does it just look that way in the pics or is the res a bit at an odd angle to the case bottom? If so, that might be something to adjust.

I like the cable management and tube routing. If you ever get a new PSU or have the time to do some sleeving on your own (or extensions even, but that might get messy), some white cabling would look epic in this imho!

If it was my rig I'd be considering a side window, but that's just personal preference

EDIT: Welcome to the forums, mate! /EDIT

Do you have the air blowing out of the front of the case? If so what was the methodology behind that?

 

[Swinkid]

Love the rig, I really want to do a black / white themed rig with a Corsair 600t however with UNI in september I have a lack of money. :<

Nice work. Welcome.

Think his rear and top fans are also intake, he just turned the entire airflow path around. Maybe he's afraid that the rad would warm up the GPU too much

The rig looks pretty nice though!

That is pretty much the reason behind it, just to keep gpu temps down a little, My graphics card has the Direct CU 2 Cooler that dispels a lot of air into the case.
