Complete Case Redesign Sneak-peak

After last weeks posting and feedback, the biggest concern was still airflow for the case. The community made a good point stating once tubing/cabling would be added, the airflow would degrade further. The biggest culprits in the old model was the HDD cage and PSU in middle.

The HDD cage also acted as a beam to support weight of monitors, so removing that would require to basically reshuffle the entire case around...and that is what we did.

We went around speaking to a few experienced computer case modders and they agreed that this newest model was much, MUCH better than before.

Here is a sneak peek of the latest revisions we have planned for next weeks post.


The motherboard has been moved to the middle. There are intakes from now both LEFT and RIGHT sides, being pushed to motherboard compartments by 2 140mm fans. 

The PSU has been isolated from cases airflow. 


Possible air vents being added as exhaust to top of case. 


Example of a watercool setup. A max of 2, 240 radiators can now only be supported. We split it up this way to the CPU can have its radiator on right side, and GPU's on left (if doing dual loop). This should help with crazy tubing issues, plus it looks awesome! 

Radiator exhaust is on bottom, pushing to BACK of case. 

That is currently where we are. We are remodeling case now, with more detail and hopefully plan to have more renders next week. Let us know what you think of this new direction!
