Just bought a Corsair 460X RGB after about five years of living in a 500R. (Gallery) It was a good case with lots of cooling and space but I really wanted something where I could see the internals. The 460 is a lot more compact so with dual GPU's cabling was a real PITA. I'll organise some shorter cables in due course.
As I've said elsewhere here I really liked the Fractal Define C and that would have been the more sensible choice however this one just really appealed to me. I love the glass and the backlight glow you get from the fans.
Pictures - Glass is a pain to photograph, hence mostly no window. The GPU sag looks worse in the photos than in real life.
Shiny!
Cheers
My X99 Dream is alive as of NOW!

I think that it looks fantastic.
Can't wait to see the build - did you end up buying from the States or use the local retailer?
Local if i brought it from directly from CaseLabs it was going to cost me over $1100.00 shipping was going to be like $200.00USD and i thought nope, I had to settle for Black but i wanted Gun Metal Grey but the retailer here said no only in black.....Sigh.
I may take me another 12 months or so to complete the next build cause i will need to find decent custom cables with out breaking the bank i don't want to pay like $300.00 for cables.
No one does pre make cables like CableMod in the colour that i want.
Which case is that? The MAGNUM SMA8? And look forward to your build log. Love Caselab builds^_^
£45 for a set of f****** grips.
All I wanted was a set of original style Mushrooms. But not the fake vinyl like ones that make your hands sweat and then give you blisters because they are too hard. Seems they are incredibly hard to get hold of now, so £45 it was. That is now the highest amount of money I have ever paid for grips. I could have gotten some Longneck but the mushroom bit isn't as deep or as comfy.
That's a hell of a lot. I would have gone with any of the following.

The Mushroom II are ODI man. They're the only grips I ever used (and AME tri).
I'll replace the grips when I cut the bars down
I like that pump top.
