I just spent my whole morning ripping all the guts out and drilling out the hdd caddy to make room for the hybrid going in as the 980 has got to go.
Last time you guys asked to see some pics so I recorded the whole process this time and will update it when the new card comes in.
I will add the green fan I had when I do that which will light the case back up. So far all my temps are sitting in the high 20c range on cpu and gpu.
I can tell you it looks easier than it is to hide all those cables. I used 2 x slim 120mm fans for above rad and no room to spare. I have not decided how I will mount the ti rad yet but have an idea.
I will either drill out the front to mount it that way or rad stack with 3 fans total sandwiched, fan rad fan rad fan. I have enough space now so we shall see. Either way it will be pretty powerful and yes that is a curved monitor:)
 
Specs:
 
i7 4790K / 16Gb 2400Mhz / GTX 980 soon to be TI Hybrid / 2 x Evo 840 500Gb SSD Mounted on top of psu for now.

    Nice build, that's ideal build for office, backup PC, etc... But always to stay enabled...
    My recommendations for Hardware build for next 3 years if someone don't know what to choose for Hadron.
    I recommend Hydro, just in case if you get idea one day to build small loop. 
     
    1. Intel i7-6700K 4.2GHz Skylake 4 cores/8 threads 
    2. EVGA Z170 Stinger is only nice Mini ITX board on market
    3. Trident Z 3000MHz 2x8GB model F4-3000C15D-16GTZ - QVL for EVGA Z170 Stinger and EVGA Z170 FTW
    4. Intel 730 480 GB + Crucial MX200 1TB SSD SATA III or cheapest SATA III 1TB SSD under 330-340$ or one HDD 3TB.
    5. EVGA GTX980 Superclocked reference graphic card (180W power consumption)
    I would advice 980Ti but only because 500W PSU GTX980 will be fine. 
    6. Cooler Noctua NH-U9S or CORSAIR H80i is maybe even better because remove hot AIR out immediately
     
     
    That is so fast rig for all new games without high filters.
    With fastest Intel i7 processor, speed per core.
    I think in this parts no single mistakes if someone want small high end PC. Only need one sound card and I read on ROG forum some people had problems with Xonar or I don't know some PCI-E sound card and they cross on Sound Blaster USB sound cards and they are very satisfied. 
    In most situation for every day use you will not see difference between Intel 730 SSD and some ultra fast devices.
    Only if you copy and unrar files 2-3h every day. But if you unpack one game daily and copy few movies than it's not necessary.

    I am lost at the part where you say a 4790k and a gtx 980 hybrid is ideal for office and/or backup.
     
    I really don't think I am having an issue from when I went from a EVGA 980 SC to a TI as far as power.
     
    The 6700K brings nothing to the table when it comes to gaming and the Z170 is not the only nice mobo on the market but rather your opinion.

    OK I only say it's nice build and Z170 is biggest improvement after Core2Duo. 
    Mostly because new memory and second is much powerful chipset than previous generations.
     
    i7-4790K is very powerful because almost 4.5GHz Turbo clock. Last Intel CPU with DDR3 support, maybe and because of that they give something very nice to people. Off course if someone think on upgrade now he will choose DDR4 and Skylake.
    Skylake i7-6700K have little weaker Turbo but anyway most people will keep him on 4.5GHz not 4.2GHz and than it's same speed as 4790K and little faster processor. No reason to go over 4.5GHz with so strong and powerful, last i7 processor.
    And I recommend GTX980 for people with Hadron, off course that 980Ti is far better option but for small RIG with 500W PSU GTX980 is excellent.

    The final built with the Hybrid works with the 500w PSU?
