ArtahI will verify the top and front.



Looking forward to it.
 
Thanks Artah.


as ManBearPig said it's around 60mm on the top and 70mm on the front.  I have a sabertooth x99 motherboard on there and the top can probably be pushed to 65mm with some creative wire routing using that motherboard and the front you can probably push it to 90mm where it slams into the reservoir holder but you would be blocking some parts of the fan.  The top part looks like around 25mm fans only, maybe 30mm thick.  The top mount plate is actually around 2-3mm only with the way it is shaped not 4mm as I previously mentioned.

So can you do a push pull on the top with say an h115?

HardwareCanuks DG-87- Jumbo Case of your Dream
 

 
From big, full tower cases no better option for similar price.

This case is so good... Every day I think he look better.
On video clip you can see that even with tower cooler and one reference card is not empty.
I like this case almost same as I liked Obsidian 650D in 2011.
I become completely crazy for that case before several years and at the from 2 samples imported in country one finished in my house.
I believe now I would choose DG-87... Yes it's big but it's cool case...
 

 
 
 I think that this case MSI X99A TITANIUM and GTX1080 Hybrid SLI could with one H110i GT cooler could be nice configuration.

HardwareCanuk did a review on it, but I disagreed with a lot of his stupid remarks..
 
He claims the top should have had 4 fans, though apparently he doesn't seem to realize that last fan would be going through the back panel into the I/O compartment. Apart from that being an airflow nightmare, it would probably screw up the case a bit structurally as well.
 
The mirror is too mirrory, and hed rather see tempered glass (which is also quite reflective, so..??).
 
He then proceeds to display the case sitting on a desk in a traditional manner, with the wire grommet sticking out on the "side", complaining about how this is not the best way to manage cables. I guess Dimitri's lightbulb never lit up about the fact that this case is supposed to go broad side backed to a wall, and that THAT is why the grommet is even there in the first place? If he really insisted on putting the case on a desk like that, he could just as well let the wires come out under the door. I mean, thats what the gap is for, isnt it?
 
And apparently he is also not fond of the fact that it has no 5.25" bays, and that one could somehow still fit somewhere in the basement. He does not point out where exactly this would be though, as the basement is completely stuffed with fan controllers, HDD/Pump cages, and a PSU which can get pretty sizable. Shame on EVGA for not making it a tardis! He goes on about how this would be useful for reservoirs and fan controllers... (..right??)
 
I hate how people minge on about the size of this thing. Monstertrucks are big too, but they sure are cool. And if your garage is big enough, why not. :p

evga.tech_guyI would like to know If I remove all the PCI back plates can I mount my GPU vertically in this case as I hate looking at back plates,  when the front of the GPU is so much better.
I asked this question a while ago in this topic,
and I think I saw Slimshiesty muttering something about making custom back plates.
So howbout it, Slimshiesty? Two customers already, right here. :P

nowadays if one HAS TO HAVE a CD/DVD/BD drive simply buy a usb slim external drive. laptops have been making people do this for YEARS so why are desktop people complaining? all i know is that on my last build i bought a DVD drive to install windows and then years later tried to use it for a second time to make system restore disk to find out it somehow died from never being used....  whatever, i for one am never buying another internal 5.25" drive bay device again.

I bought a USB powered slimdrive years ago, and I haven't used it for a decade now.
Everything is digital now. Even an OS and motherboard/GPU drivers come on a USB stick these days. ;)
I got a sneaking feeling its the console people keeping the disk industry alive.


And yeah, these things break if you let em sit, they literally run on bloody rubber bands! :'D They go stale and brittle.
How many do you need? I got a wall of em in the back of my closet that would make Trump jealous.
