That is very nice. My only concern is the weight on the back panel of the case really, does it flex much?
Thanks.
The Node 304 has a very solid/rigid chassis/frame and the way I have the hoses and radiators positioned, as a unit, they practically sit where they are without being fastened to the back panel. These 120mm rads and fans aren't that heavy either, so it's all good. No flexing, solid as a rock. :)
Got a week off work so i finished doing my first build. just gotta tighten up the cables a bit, they're hanging a bit loose. pretty happy with it ,especially my first ever attempt at stencilling. I'm surprised i managed to build it without breaking any components.

Here's my old computer that my brother built.
As you can see i didn't learn anything from him so thanks to all the helpful people on the internet, especially as there's no big computer stores anywhere near me so i needed good advice and reviews to pick parts. didn't even plan on doing a whole build, that's why the cpu and motherboard are so much cheaper than the vid card, still it works fine.
With that cooler, I bet you could overclock that A8 quite a bit to get even more out of it. :)
yeah i"ll have to give it a try, all i've done so far is hit the oc genie dumdum button.
