MOD MAIL TODAY!!!!!
 
I ordered some mesh screen for my Lid Mod  from Frozen PC and it came in the mail today
 
As previously stated above:
I had to cut a hole out of the NZXT Manta case lid because I mounted the radiator up top
and the Lid side vents weren't enough to vent the radiator (was running hot)
by doing this I dropped 7 degrees in temp
 

 
I looked everywhere for a matching Honeycomb Mesh but
couldn't find any so I went with Circle Mesh (Looks OK I guess)
 

 

 

 

This picture make my Lid cut look crooked but it's really not (Optical Illusion)
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Full Water cooling coming soon

Regards rick
 
 
 

I like the method in which you saw the heat go down without the top cover and modded the top cover to allow better heat dissipation. Just brilliant.

Thank you..........

I wish I could find the exact "Honeycomb"  mesh
As you can see from the pics, this new mesh is more restrictive and doesn't do a good enough job of letting the heat out 
I will continue my search and also contact NZXT to make them aware of this issue with this awesome MANTA case

A Step in the COOL Direction 
 
I saw a post in the 980 Board about someone selling this Hydro Coper 780 TI GPU block
and knew it would be a perfect addition to my build so I bought it
 


 
Stay tuned

Great mod! I like how you made something you like your own. Pretty cool. Have you taken the custom loop plunge yet?

This is cool, case look as Mini ITX on first look, but inside is mATX board with better options as
Quad Channel and more PCI-E slots for PCI-E SSD or M.2 and Sound Card. 
 
Now you will install 780Ti Classy Hydro Copper Water Block on EVGA GTX980Ti Classified?
Smart, smart.
If that mean something to you... you even could replace label with different, you can design new with similar fonts or same and replace.
