Quick 750D question

So I was originally planning to go for the Enthoo Primo, but after watching TTL's review of the 750D I'm swinging more towards a Corsair case now because of the huuuuuge price difference and the fact you can put a thick rad in the roof.

My question is....

I wanted to run an RX240 in the roof, and an RX240 in the front to cool a 690 and a 2500K. My PSU is a HX1050, which is 7.09 inch long.

I know I would loose the first drive cage putting a rad in the front, but would I loose the second one next to the PSU because the HX1050 is about an inch longer than the one in TTL's video.

Thanks in advance.
 
From the back of the case to the hard drive cage is 240mm. You can fit it but it will be tight. Since you will have about 60mm room for the wires.

How many hard drives are you planning to use??
 
I don't think you should buy a 750d i just measured and i don't think a 60mm think rad would fit in to the top (because of the mobo heatpipes and ram).
In my 750d with my mobo i wouldn't even be able to fit a rx240 in push. because of the 85mm of room you would need in the top. not even if i got rid of the opticals and shifted it to the front (the ram would still prevent it).

hope it helps.
 
Firstly on the PSU length I had laid the rule down starting at the end of the PSU so you can see where yours will come to. The drive cage mounts in the holes just above the 9 1/2" mark and covers all of the mesh giving you about 2 1/4" to route your cables. I doubt that would be a major issue unless you had millions, also the PSU would block one of the cable routing holes.

As stated above clearance for a 60mm thick radiator may be the difficulty. Although all of the caps and heatsinks on most boards won't be a problem unless they stick out a long way the 8-pin power connector could cause issues. Shown in the picture the rule is flat on the roof alongside my ST30 and two SP120's which makes a total thickness of 79mm, there is about 1mm of clearance to the power connector. An RX240 would be 58+25= 83mm so you would need to find another 4mm of clearance from somewhere. Removing the rubber washers from the roof would help and with a little pressure on the power cables it might just fit together but you are well into the clearance danger zone!

If you were willing to mod the 750D just a little bit you could easily get away with everything you have planned. You could move the drive cage slightly closer to the front by drilling two holes and move the top radiator slightly forwards in the case so the power cables would fit behind it. There is loads of room and plenty of versatile fittings to allow for nearly anything in the 750D. I guess you are quite restricted by the bay-res but it has been easy for me to fit two 360 radiator's in mine. Personally I think your wasting your time unless you put a 360 in the roof. If you aren't re-using parts could you not have a thin 360 that fitted above the bay res instead of trying to cram in a thick 240?

If you remember reading the top you'd know that he wanted to go with a 750d because it was cheaper. I don't think a 900d would be cheaper then what he had in mind originally.

the 750 case is not a large case what hes wanting to put in ive had the 750 and got rid hes better with a little more money and go with the Phanteks Enthoo Primo Rev 2 Full Tower Performance Case this is a better option its a lot cheaper than the 900d a nice case allround in some places the 750 is priced at 134 138 etc and the plankets is either 199 to 192 ish and to be honest its a better case than the 750d as ive had this case as well and still got it .
