Hey guys just wanted to sho some progress on my MATX Water Cooling Project.
The Dragon Slayer case mods have stalled out. There is a guy designing a custom radgrill to cover the large opening I cut into the top panel that will allow the rad to sit towards the front side panel which should allow me to get a rad and standard size fans installed.
As for the PS07 I have finally got all of the parts together and the system is up and running. I had a short delay because I over tightened the bolts on the pump and busted one of the thread studs from the swiftech pump top. I had to order an XSPC pump top to replace the broken swiftech top. Not such a bad thing because I wanted to get a different pumps top anyhow.
Here are some pics of the system.
I was able to fit an optical drive and a 3.5 inch HDD in the 2 5.25 drive bays. The SSD is mounted behind the motherboard tray with some double sided tape. I also created a false floor with a peicce of Black Plexi and secured it with a couple srews.
The Graphics card is the MSI R6950 but I will probable change it out with my GTX 670 because the R6950 dumps to much hot air into the case.

Damn, that is nice. Can see my work is alot after some thing like that
- But i'am also new to this, but damn my eye's just love what i see
Amazing build Sebar, end result is awesome
Thanks guys. It turned out a lot better than I was expecting. I initially got the PS07 as a temp case while I modded the Dragon Slayer but I have to say I have really like the way this has turned out in the PS07. I will still be continuing to mod the Dragon Slayer but I will be keeping this system for a while.
The PS07 was a very easy case to build in and has a very sleek exterior look. My only complaint is the steel used is too thin. Thanks again for all of the positive comments.

Thank you very much. I have been having a lot of fun building in this case and now running some tests. I got it Folding SMP last night, I am getting between 16 and 19K on the 3570K @ 3.8GHz

awesome rig, Sebar...
don't you just hate when the logo is goofy? you'd think the mannies would
allow us to place them as necessary to display their name correctly!
just a peave that grates my last nerve..
im running into that on my custom build now.. firckin' logos, badges, and
engravings are butt ugly upside-down and bassakwards...

Ah yes, I recently watched Tom's review of the white version of that actually. I thought those side fan intakes at the front looked familiar.

Tom's review was the main reason I bought the PS07.

Yes Tom always does a great jobs with the reviews. I like that you can build very powerful systems in very small cases now days and still have great cooling and all the stuff you want in there.

Just installed some new stuff in my PS07B.
RX240
XSPC gtx680 waterblock
Red LED's
Bitspower fitting for the pump to rad connection.
Everything installed.
The plan is to get the EX240 in the loop to keep everything cool.
Testing temps now and have idle temps of low 30's and load temps of mid-high 50'2 on the CPU and max GPU temp of 70c after a few hours of folding.
I also compared temps between the EX240 push/pull and the RX240 with pull. The delta temps where exactly the same at 24c delta.
