I am still planning this build but I thought I would get this thread started early. My idea is to fit a 360mm rad in the front of a nzxt phantom 410. I would remove the glossy part of the door and cut foundation of the door and bolt some mesh on the existing mounting holes for the glossy part of the door.
Then, cut the 5.25 bays out, and remove the HDD cage that is riveted into the bottom. The third fan would be bolted onto the rad and the other two will be bolted into the mounts on the front of case along with the rad.
There will be a second rad in the roof of the case that will fit without any mods.
Now for the hardware, I am going to be using a Sabertooth z77 motherboard, i7 3770k, Corsair's white Vengeance LP(1.35v version), a gtx 570 DCII (With EK 580 DCII block), I will use Corsair SP120s for the rads, and their AF120s throughout the build, and I'm still deciding on what SSD and power supply I will be using.
The water cooling hardware I will be using consits of 2 XSPC EX rads (Both with a cross flow design), EK Supreme block for the CPU (I will be using the black istead of the plexy version to match the DCII block.), clear tubing, black sparkle bitspower fittings, EK combo DCP 2.2 pump and res, and mayhems auroa supernova added to the coolant.
I'll take more pictures when I get the cuts done. And I will get a much better camera by then don't worry. ^_^
