+1 I think he can still fit a thumb drive in the case, but that's about it.  Benchmark numbers along with Temp --- please Your photos looked good; they would have been better if you would have taken the protective plastic film off the MB & case

I like the build but every time I look at that case I can't help but think of a beer cooler that you would take on a picnic.

This is so awesome. I just built this same PC ( different video card) in my newegg account. I think my next PC will be a super small format.
I like that Asus board, I like how the Vreg stuff comes up vertically and I like the dedicated audio card. Its as if Asus wouldnt allow the small form factor too compromise any of the specs.
Tell us, how do you like that motherboard compared to a full blown ATX board? any limitations other than the obvious PCIe and Dimm slots?
How was working in that case? Did you have to make your own holes to get stuff to fit? Did you need to remove parts?
Did you consider a smaller video card like a Fury or Nano?

What little I have used it it seems to be a great board. I have an issue though, the h100i gtx when mounted the fan hit that vertical power VREG/Power board. So I was running the h100i gtx with only one fan. I did not like that.Also the end tank hits the plastic push through pin from the front of the case. Called Corsair they said the case was designed back with the specs of the h100i not the gtx. So I have pulled the gtx cooler and the tier4 cx850 psu. I ordered a ax860i psu and a corsair h80i cpu cooler. They (Corsair) said the h100i would work as it is 3mm thinner but they are hard to find and I'm not paying the money a lot of guys are wanting for it nowadays.So if the h80i doesn't fit I might just have to go air cooling on cpu for now. But I am still searching.

Oh also I didn't consider smaller card. I am personally not a fan of AMD gpu's and I'm married to g-sync right now. seth89

Making some changes and fixing some stuff. Issue with the Asus Impact the vertical power board makes a couple cooler tight. The only recommended cooler for this case is the h100i as the rad is thinner. The h100i gtx is thicker making the fans hit the vertical power board. The h80i I bought will not fit in the side, back or front. The case hits the rad in the back and I don't want to modify the case by bending or cutting. The fans in the front are threaded in the care and not open like a standard fan hole. So i got lucky and found brand new h100i's in stock at corsair. Then found a extended psu bracket to allow larger psu's and still keep the 3.5 hdd bracket. Then yanking the cx850 psu and replacing with ax860i..
