I got the Corsair Carbide Air 540, and I suggest this case to anyone that doesn't mind a short, stubby case.

As you can see, I just kind of SHOVED all of my cables into the back. Theres a good 4 inches of cable management space, and no airflow to impede.

Here you can see the fan controller that I put inside the case. Didn't have enough drive bays, Haha.

Here's a shot from the side, No side panel. The cable management and Airflow in this case is wonderful. Have a 240 Rad in the top, feedin to the Res/pump on the other side of the wall. Has room for up to a 140 Rad in the back, 280 Rad in the top, and 280/360 rad in the front.

Here's a picture with the sidepanel on. Slightly fogged acrylic; looks amazing.

And here is a picture of the front. You can see that my res/pump is sideways. This will not hurt it as long as the water level stays above a certain point. The pump is perfectly fine working sideways.

This is with the asus board you won right? :D

5

No, ASUS is being slow about shipping it out to me. Itll be with my gigabyte board and 8150, sadly. :(.

6

ah well,...

on the good side you have to have quite a bit of extra cash to color theme the z87 boards correctly

Updated.

Nice :)

When you do get the Asus bosard, will you do a Haswell build log?

9

Oh, Hell yes.

Updated to latest status. updates may be slow, as I cant mod much more without getting a new case and starting over. Except cable management.

I have great ideas all they time, the just usually are paired with very BAD ideas

12

I'd switch the two tubes coming from your CPU. Make the one coming from the right, in th pictures, go to the radiator up top, and the one coming from the left, in the picture, go to the bay-res, unless you can switch the orientation of the top radiator.

13

When I get new tubing, I shall. :P

14

It's spelled Archangel man...

15

Are those compression fittings, or barbs? I can't see from the photos.

Also, I feel you about the Intel waterblock designs. The mounting plate looks much better on Intel, for blocks that use a mounting plate on top. When you do your Haswell rig, I can help you find some gorgeous blocks :)

16

Didn't see the update. Awesome, man!

17

barbs

18

its a play on words, he meant to spell it like that

19

Thanks, man. That would be great. And Im going to be getting compression fittings soon. Barbs are horrible. Hahaha.
