Very nice MCS. I've had my 800D for a while and I just love this case. I'm using a Corsair H50 with it at the moment and there is just so much room. You planned it out right. Congrats!
I may just get another one of these for yet another build. Next to my MM case the 800D is just great for water cooling setups.
Sorry about the pump...it happens. I hope you get the replacement back fast.

Yes this is my favorite case I've used so far, I love all the cool features, and it has a great sleek and clean design. The more I look at my setup the more I want to do with it, maybe white accent sleeves on the PCI and 24pins, small white LED's behind the mobo for a bit of a faint glow, and I want to do something with the midplate or the bottom compartment, I'm just not sure what exactly yet. I really need a better camera because those pictures make it look so dull, it looks a lot better in person. Thanks, I hope I get the pump back quickly too, but I'm not too disappointed about it. I've been extremely fortunate throughout all the changes I've made to this build over the last year, havn't had any dead hardware or anything crap out on me until this. *knocks on wood*

Diggin' your build! Didn't dawn on me to use multiple rads until I saw your post, too late for me.
I'm almost finished with my 800D too and had the most noteable trouble finding a suitable place to install the MCP655. Wish I woulda went with a res/pump combo....

That sucks about the pump. So, did you cut a hole in the bottom for air intake on the lower rad? I was going to do this but chickened out. I have a 2x92 rad in there, check my sig to see what I did. I'm getting a classified soon and am going to switch everything to dual loops which will make moving to fermi easier.

I like your setup man, looks really sweet. Looks like you and I had some similar ideas there. I was really close to going with white tubing for one of the loops too. Yeah I removed the bottom hdd rack and cut a hole and mounted a radgrill down there. The radiator mounted perfectly, I wasn't sure if it would come out that great but it did. Filing steel is not fun. Interesting idea about the 92x2 you had. Originally I wanted to remove the hdd rack and try to mount the 120x2 on it's side like you did with yours, and then install the radgrill in the opposite side panel. The only way that rad would fit up on it's side is if I cut into the bottom of the case and had it sitting a bit lower then the floor, so I scratched that idea. I really like this case a lot, and now that I have it here and see it in person up and running, I just keep getting different ideas for mods and stuff to do to it. I might have to take the whole thing apart all over again.

Hey I'm glad that you finally got the 800D. I just finished my too since I did not have much time to work on it. I tried to reupload my worklog but too lazy since It was in the old forum, also since I reinstalled the new windows 7, I lost some of the pics ;(... However, I got the new pics lol. Nice job BTW, I like it. Here is one: More -->: http://www.flickr.com/pho...57623135054875/detail/

Nice looking rig man, I need to get ahold of a better camera to take some nice pictures like that. My camera is junk.

According to listed spec on ppc they weigh 1200g. They are extremely heavy.

I would think that the weight would not matter so long as it does not crack the board. Personally I don't think 1200g is enough to do that.

Yeah they are heavy but they are alright for a stationary system. I wouldn't want to try to transport the case with them in it though lol. I appreciate the concern though. rjohnson11

Yeah you're right. If they were too heavy they'd be sagging and bending the motherboard noticeably. I was concerned initially with the weight so I asked around and did a bit of research to make sure they were ok. There are a couple photos where it looks like one of the cards is sagging a bit but it's just the camera angle. I made sure they were even and secure, both before and after finishing the build.
