Wow man that is one wild build! Congrats on getting that 780ti i there and making it fit! that side pane is fancy too. I guess that 500W PSU wasnt enough to power that card, so you had to upgrade to a bigger PSU. Great solid build, hope you got into the competition!

I must admit, the sound of PSU in this setup is the thing of the past, other than that I have loads of room for OC. I will have to work on airflow a little bit though. Tomorrow I will try something.

4RTEX I love your build! I've modded my Hadron Air with an ATX PSU as well although in a different spot to yours. I had thought about that position but I didn't want to obscure the window, although I think it would look cleaner windowless just with some grills, similar to yours. It looks like you've just added another piece on top of the original side panel?
 
Here is picture of my mod. (It's a work in progress)

The original panel is cut down on laser cutter in corners and yes, there is another plate on top riveted on. I will post picture from behind later.
 
Your PSU is shorter what would be even better for my setup. Good stuff and keep it sharp!

Wow I wish I had access to a laser cutter. 
 
Thanks. Yeah the reason I have done the mod is for silence. I tried originally with an AX760 but it was just a fraction too long and would impede a longer GPU. None of the 'zero RPM' or fanless PSU's are small enough so I've settled on this Cooler Master V650. It's gold rated, 140mm, semi modular and silent so far.

I call my Build "Live Fast Die Last", I am heavily into cars and computers so I thought I would put the best of both together. This is my first custom build for a computer. I have done many other computer builds, but none "custom". I got help from my step-dad in a lot of the troubleshooting, fitment and fabrication. Everything you see except for the powder coating I did myself, such as sleeving, cutting, tubing, etc. It took a total of 4 months, I actually had the build complete at the 1 month mark, but it was not what I imagined it to be so, I stripped it down and started all over again.
 
I originally used the EVGA Hydro water kit, but after seeing my brothers temps on his build (I will post up soon), I felt there was not enough cooling for the CPU and GPU. So I installed an Alphacool 240mmx40mm on top and 80mmx40mm on back for extra cooling. I also went through three different EVGA Hydro pumps that came in the kit and they all leaked, so I upgraded to an aftermarket pump (I cant remember the name, but I will get it on the next post).
 
Other little things I modified was:
- Power supply fans are now 40mm Noctuas (two in rear and one mounted in front)
- SSD are mounted on top of PSU due to HDD Cage being removed.
- Swapped out the power button with nice Red LED Ring button
- Sleeved the entire PSU with black paracord
- Clear Hard tubing between upper RAD and case
- Custom Mesh plate for the 240mm RAD on top
 
The specs are nothing crazy:
Intel I7 4770K
ASUS Impact VI w/ Bitspower Full MB Waterblock
EVGA TITAN Black 6GB
16GB Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz RAM
x2 Samsung PRO 240GB SSD (Raid0)
Water fittings are F1 Racing Tire Tread Patterns
Alphacool 240mm & 80mm Radiator
Thermaltake Red & Black 120mm (x2) & 80mm Fan to cool radiators
