EVGATech_DaveB @Gone Cruising You asked for a pump suggestion, for a quite, powerful and small I recommend the Swiftech MCP50x, fairly new but it is a SOLID pump. That's my 2 cents. Also, that is a sweet case, little open air system like that, really nicely done.
Thank you , checking it out now!

You'd think we'd see more and more shortie res/pumps less than 5inches tall? I haven't seen too many, that were worth buying?

Very nice, and congrats on getting a sponsorship. As far as the screw I think either way looks good. But for maximum visual appeal the counter sunk look would probably be best.

Gone Cruising @violence, ahhh, remembering the largest case I ever built. Don't feel bad about being denied, here's my denial:
Thank you all for your kind comments!!! More to come!!!! Kirk (Gone Cruising)
I can't believe they told you no on that one. That's the one that I was saying was one of my favorites. I love that thing.
Well, they don't really tell you no. You just don't hear them say yes. I did hear back from them that they liked it, but I guess it was a no go. Since it's one of your favorites do you want it? If you would like to have it just PM me your address and I will try to send it to you this weekend if not next weekend, when I have time. It's just sitting here collecting dust!
Yea they did the same to me. I just never heard back from them at all. But yet they still send me the magazine every month.

Small update! Case feet and EVGA logos done. I made the frosted logos stay by applying some clear packing tape behind it....just in case I want to make it a different color! And I ordered the PSU which arrived a few days ago. Time to get to some custom sleeving....the easy way....more to come on that. Ordered last night: The PSU sleeving will be done by using Mod/Smart pre-made cables in various lengths (the easy way): http://www.primochill.com/product-category/modsmart/cable-management/colored-wire-sleeved-wire/8-inch-colored-wire-sleeved-wire/ Just waiting for everything to arrive and to do more research on hard line tubing, pumps and rads to see what I need. Thanks for looking!

Damzz! I love the way to did the 3.5/2.5 & PSU, that's just super clean and tight! I'm not easily impressed, but "Kirk, got skills!"

Heck ya he does. Kinda bummed to see him stop on this build but I know and understand why he is doing it. Very nice setup, and could hold a very clean and neat system when finished.

Nothing wrong with ATX, can be just as tight and clean. Longtime Zophar?

You sir are correct. There's just something about this one that I like. Although I'm sure GC will pull off the ATX just as perfectly. What do you mean long-time? I'm on here all the time. I don't post as often as I used to, and mostly lurk in the Folding/Crunching sections. But I've been spending more time in here recently and hoping to start another build thread in the next couple weeks.

My bad. I haven't been in the folding threads in a long while. Although with upcoming opencl/vulcan(opengl) I'm looking at the just released V-Ray 4 Blender, next-gen GTX 1080's look badjazz and prob do SLI. From what I've read, opencl Rendering will be able to render 2K/4K textures in nothing flat. Small time/independent game/film/cfx developers will be able to do some nice projects. On subject, I could see one of Kirk's builds do a tight clean 4way GPU case...

Hmmm, that sounds awesome. And sorry GC, if I could afford the extra GPU's I'd be happy to send them, your way. Just to see them in one of your works of art.

Wow! Has it been 3 years!!!! TBH, almost everything was still sitting in place as of today (with some dust build up), soooooo I decided why not finish the project....with a few changes! The cpu, mobo, psu, ram and of course the case will be the same, but the gpu will be a GTX 1070 (air cooled) and only a single SSD. More to come as some new fans and other parts arrive! Dang!.....3 years!!!!

These case are amazing, It's bad because you don't live near me, I would payed you to design and made case for me more than to CORSAIR for Obsidian 450D and similar cases. At least I would have unique case from aluminum panels and glass. I like how you made and connect parts.

I'm sure he could profit from PC case design and production. Limited Edition 5-10 samples, really have skill. EVGA SuperNOVA PSU fit perfect inside.
