I love what you did for cooling! I thought I had trouble with the mATX Arc Midi build with custom loops last year!

I cannot stress how tight things are in there. Until the last minute, I wasn't sure things would fit or even if I could fit things in that the side panels would close. It seems as if everything came together too perfectly! The Nepton 140XL on top, the H55 rads and hoses and GPU power cables at the bottom have absolutely no clearance in all directions. The cards clear the PSU by about 1mm! It was a pain to put it together, let me tell you... The only component that installed without trouble was the SSD at the back, lol. But it was worth it at the end

Looks good. The only thing I would mention is maybe you can try to hide some of those little cables roaming around or try zip tying them up a bit.

I'm sure I can make them look tidier but there is really nowhere to hide them. There is no space between the rad and motherboard at the top...
 
Thanks for the comments and the ribbon
 

Nice job and a very interesting case.

Thanks guys!
 
I had a bit of a problem in the meantime which could turn into a disaster. One of the PSU cables that fed the bottom card fried during a 3DMark run. Literally. The system shut itself, ASUS GRYPHON board giving a surge protection error! It turned out that the cable had bad contact where it connected the PSU, it fried and melted the connector and welded itself on the PSU. Took me some muscle to get it out of the PSU.
 
Good news was that nothing got affected. I guess I'm blessed. It could fry anything and everything, I guess if it wasn't for that surge protection, which I didn't even know existed. I tested all the components, everything including the PSU is working fine. Still, I replaced the PSU with a Seasonic 860 Platinum, to be on the safe side and to give a little headroom for overclocking, and it was the right decision.
 
Cards individually were stable folding at 1200MHz max, which was basically +50MHz on top of their factory OC, and now they're both running at that speed.
 
With the ASUS Z87-i Deluxe, the CPU was not stable beyond 4.5GHz, and this GRYPHON board impressed me as it's rock solid at 4.6GHz. On top, the memory is now stable with 2200MHz, with 10-10-10-30-1 timings; it had topped at 2000MHz before. Mind you, this little Crucial kit is 1600MHz 8-8-8-24-2 stock! Both the memory and the board impressed me beyond words.
 
Finally, I added another(!) 120mm fan on top of the rad closer to the PSU and it did wonders to bottom GPU temps. It used to run 3-5C warmer than the top card, now it runs 3-5C cooler! Plus, the same card's VRM temps got dropped by a good 6-7C, and now both cards VRM temps run the same.
 
Don't ask how I could fit that fan in that tight spot though... it was tough to say the least, but now the system is running like a champ! *knocks on wood*
 
I'd like to say kudos to Crucial and ASUS! I had already liked Crucial, hence I had upgraded to the Crucial MX100 SSD to match the memory. Glad to support them . Well, of course, thanks to ASUS for releasing a board matching my alias, and making it rock solid!
 
I'll update the pics in the OP but for now, I'll share this:
