i think it would be a good idea for you to share some details about this case that you think EVGA should change/fix/redo/etc, i have 2 that are driving me a little crazy, AND things that you think make this case amazing. i know i'll be adding to this list as i build my new machine.
 

1. NO PWM fan controler
2. Designing a Left/Front/Right case
3. Designed for Liquid Cooling
4. Bottom intake fan completely obstructed

 
#1: nearly everyone in the high end market, the target audience, is looking at these things and with the recent release of the Corsair ML series fans, which ideally requires 12V PWM, it's a minor oversight. something that would be nice but isn't that detrimental, but #4 is.
 
#2: i have to give whomever came up with this layout for the case credit, i LOVE it. this is perfect for L-Shaped desks and with everyone wanting to showoff their build via a side panel, being able to hide all the cable clutter is a very nice touch. this was one of the two main factors for me buying the case.
 
#3: i personally have not gotten to be able to install my my liquid cooling components but i can say right off the bat that this case can handle nearly anything you want to put into it. i'll be expanding on this one in the future once EK releases the water blocks i need.
 
#4: this just REALLY REALLY sucks, well it doesn't suck as it can not suck any air into the case when it's blocked. now i can understand the ascetic reason why as the logo is on the bottom, it's nice looking. but it should have been up top or atleast half the height it currently is. if the logo was up top all 3 fans would be fully exposed because the fans are already lowered to allow for the radiator on top. but instead they push the fans down about 60mm and then close off about 140mm of the bottom for the logo. they didnt even allow for any possible side and/or bottom venting because all the air has to come in through the air filter. as if keeping positive case pressure would be hard enough when using two 420mm radiators it will be literally impossible now without making both of the left 2 fans intakes. i know that i personally will either modify the right cover or simply leave if off.

sure, i'll do pics once i can borrow a decent camera and take this thing apart again.

I hate waste; so having to choose between wasting expensive Noctua fans or wasting the fan controller in this case hurts.  Once I'm done building my system in this case my next project is going to be building a variable V to PWM converter.

Since you have the case and have time to pooking around I have following questions.
Is the temp probe replacable?
Is there any marking on the probe like resistance?
I was thinking of replace that with a water temp probe instead.
My case has'nt turned up yet =(.

The temp probe can be unplugged from the controller board.
 
No markings, but the multi-meter is reporting 10KOhm

Thanks Chris
Then it could be replaced with most any water temp probe.
I need to see the water temp instead and will not use the built in fan controller.

 
Waaaa, that was something i never would have thought of! this is going to added to my build list for my cooling loop. thanks B1gf00t ;)

Some points of mine are,
1) A PSU should move into position freely and be rested on some kind of dampening foam.  Not scratch up your psu trying to shoehorn it into position !
2) Premium looking case, should be premium parts... low quality parts with fit and finish of much cheaper quality cases.
3) A Glued in plexi window ? its ok, but when you remove the door, you can clearly see the minimal use of adhesive and splotches of it around areas.
4) Personal opinion, could have made a pass through whole underneath the mobo area for front panel leads, without it the wires running up from the psu slide out cover are tacky.
Could have just made a hole removable cover.
5) Overall i find the case quieter than i thought it would be, with ambient internal temps right around 25c.. not bad.  Thats with 100% right fans  35% front and left, for positive case pressure.
 
My take on it.. Should have been a little better build quality, A+ for thinking outside of the box.
My rating is a fairly solid 79 out of 100.

a 3pin fan connector? i haven't removed the front panel and looked at all the details behind it but thanks for the heads up.

Not many reviewers have given any idea of whats behind the front panel, so I'll show it here:

is it just me or are those images not want to load for B1gf00t? also you and i are in the same boat waiting for the FTW water blocks so i'll also let you know that i did get confirmation that they are delayed 3 weeks.

Hi

I'm really sorry, but sadly FTW water blocks are indeed delayed and now the approximate ETA for it is in 3 weeks.

We sincerely apologize for the delay and thank you for understanding.

Best regards, Igor

Odd, the pictures have been loading for me.  Can you still open the image in a new tab to see it?
 

Chris21010
nope, even at another PC they will only show a grey circle with a white dash through it. i assume it is either loading via your cookies or you are the only one allowed access to the images.

I changed where they were hosted.  Can you see the two pictures now?

Since you own this case, i just went and bought evga class z170, which i want to buy 2 1080 FTW Hybrid, my question is where you can install the external fans coupled to the cards? Any Thoughts?
 
Thanks

It's obvious EVGA made great product, DG-87 case.
Now is only question who have money to full case with CORSAIR 140mm Magnet Levitation Fans and inside will be cold as on Antarctic.
They spin on 2000RPM.

i have all 8 of my ML140's at 100% right now as i haven't put the PWM controllers in yet. yea they are loud but i just play my music/games louder :P
