    I have found that my h100i looks small in this case.
    Also, i have one top fan that sits higher up then i would like.
    Going to have to go with a 360 rad, AIO, or better..... I like the better.

    CPU  Intel i7 6700K @ 4.0 GHz 
    MB   MSI Z170A M7
    GPU  EVGA GTX 1070 FTW
    MEM Avexir ROG Red Tesla DDR4 2666
    PSU  EVGA Supernova 850 G2
    CASE EVGA DG-87

    would love to see how you mount the hybrid radiators, especially after having the h115i on top already.

    Your hardware will probably look great in DG-87.
    I don't have money at the moment because I need GPU and two storage devices but I would like to replace
    Obsidian 650D with EVGA DG-87. I would be much happier than with some smaller case for mATX boards as I thought before.
     
    Is it possible on top panel to fit H110i GT and EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid radiator?
    Maybe. 
     
    I think EVGA DG-87 will be new popular case same as Obsidian 800D. This case deserve that.
    There are so many options for different configurations and different hardware, water cooling, AIO Systems...
    And color was good decision.

    I know the radiator and the 140mm fan will fit in the top. I put my h115i in the top. So the hybrid should fit with it. I would have to measure to be sure though.

    Thanks for quick reply... I am going hybrid x2 for sli   But that sounds like this case is not built for this video card. If i have to go classified then that might be my route... but seriously wanted hybrid
    Again Appreciate the heads up

    the top GPU "may" reach the left swinging door, dont know about clearance or tube length. but the bottom GPU will not reach the top nor the right nor the swinging door. this case was designed around custom liquid cooling and not 2+ AIO coolers.

    They did preview the case with their prototype hybrids with quick disconnects.  Have no idea when those are coming out though.

    I have 2 hybrids and this case but haven't swapped over to this case yet but just by eyeballing it I don't think they'll reach the front.  They don't reach the front of my current case either but I bought spacers so they would reach but I'll post pics when I swap over to it.

    I've got a 115i rad and a Gigabyte waterforce 980ti rad both going to the top of the case. I am pretty sure the lines on my waterforce are shorter than most, so yours should be able to reach
     
    Youll only be able to fit one hybrid rad on top with the 115i, other option may be putting 115i in right side of case, traditionally the front of case, then both hybrid rads above, provided the lower one reaches. I don't see a solid mounting solution for mounting the hybrid rads in the left/back of the case without taking off parts that aren't meant to come off.
     
    Good luck!

    I want that plexi and those LED's, especially considering mine are yellow now.

    that is a fixed door panel and blue LEDs instead of cool white. you can buy an RGB or Blue LED 30cm Strip to replace the one that comes standard, very easy to do. and if your LED's yellow plz visit this thread if you haven't already: http://forums.evga.com/DG...r-Change-m2541170.aspx
     
    on that note soo many little things changed sence this demo reveal and the actual release, and i like the vast majority of them.

    Any thoughts on this retailer?

    They're better than Frys!
     
    Many here on the west coast prefer Microcenter to Fry's, the only two options for a decent walk-in type of place. Microcenter is more knowledgeable. With Fry's you're on your own.

    Finished moving to this case, my 980ti hybrids do fit all the way to the front of the case.  It does require the fans to be on the right side of the radiator and inside the case to cut down the distance so it'll reach without being too tight.  Top card is ran straight across from itself to the front and bottom one is slightly below the card.  I did have to take the front 140mm fans off the front except for the top 140mm fan although I guess it wouldn't make much sense to have to two fans right up against each other anyway lol.  I have the fans on the radiator pulling air from outside the case into the case and across the radiator.
     
    Love this case except for taking off the top it wasn't designed very well in my opinion after all the awesome things they thought out for this case, although it's a small complaint. Taking the top off did break one of the plugs but I have a feeling that'll happen a lot with they way they made it.  But by far my favorite case I've ever owned.

    Glad you got the cards to work. If the classifieds don't cut the mustard I can always sell off and get hybrids which was original plan. What a day!

    I'm curious to know that temps you get with your Hybrids?
    I have a very similar set up to you.
    I get around 44-41C on average at 2088-2050MHz on both cards.
