Chris21010 best of luck finding a TV big enough to match.
It's not hard to find a big TV these days lol. All of the TV manufacturers keep on making them bigger and bigger.

This case has massive storage capabilities, even with watercooling. I got a plex server running to serve up my bluray files and other high bandwidth video files. My roku is my htpc. Sadly, without resorting to piracy, I need the bluray drive to decrypt the files.in the first place and encode with handbrake. You just can't compare highly compressed streaming to locally streamed high bit rate files.

ManBearPigI still use a Blu-ray drive because it has much better quality. I guess if you still have a standard definition TV or have bad eye sight you wouldn't mind the sub par picture of streaming. But for those that have a nice setup and good eye sight, Blu-ray is the only way to go. Plenty of ways to get your hands on a digital copy of a bluray. You can download a copy when you have an original, its legal.

technically not true, it is legal to make your own copies but not legal to own someone elses copy. even if you do own the media in question.

It's a weird technicality in the law. Making the decryption tools is illegal according to the DMCA. But inherent in the Copyright act is the right to make a backup copy of your own media. Also in the copyright act is special rules for educational use that the DMCA makes no allowance for. It's completely fubar in the usa.

they just make sure there are laws in place so that they can go after anyone at anytime when they feel like there needs to be another public event on pirating stuff.

If you pre ordered, then you used a credit card to do it... shipping will automatically be charged to your card along with the price of the case.

Didnt realize you had used paypal, my bad.. I had that happen to me once before, it updated and charged me a few days later... after my item had shipped.

I wonder if its really going to be sent by UPS though, I had a bad experience with these guys before. They marked my parcel as "nobody home" on the tracker site, but my security camera never saw them try. Funny part is my door is the entrance to my shop which is always open during UPS delivery hours. So they flat out bull****ted me. :') Did any of you who already got their case get a tracking number or something?

Yes, you do receive a tracking number directly from UPS before it ships

I'm new to watercooling what kind of reservoir are you guys going to use, I am currently looking at the alphacool light tower pump combo. Also looking to get two 420 radiators from them as well but not sure on the thickness as I would like to do a push pull configuration.

If your planning to push/pull do NOT go over 30 mm you will have clearance issues on top right side you might get 40 but i would still stay at 30 mm as far as reservoir there seems to be some issues with mounting with some people but i can absolutey confirm that the EK 's fit like a glove

Just got my DG-85. My Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 fans' screws are too thick and won't fit in the rear (or "left") screw holes. Does anyone know which screws I should get? The once provided are not quite long enough to penetrate my fan and the case's screw holes. Thank you in advance

What would be the best watercooling setup for this case? Is it worth bothering with push/pull if I go for dual 420 radiators? I'm going to start with CPU, GPU, and Motherboard, with a second GPU down the line. I'm also wondering if I should grab one of those EK 150mm res/pump combos, or if I should sacrifice a HDD cage for a separate more fancy PWM pump. Pressure is another thing I might have to watch for with such a large loop?

The EK pump combo's use the exact same pumps as the stand alone the difference is the pump top allows the reservoirs can be mounted as 1 unit it's all about your preference

I thought the combo ones were volt controlled, and the separate ones had the option for PWM? Granted, I dont think having a pump on vario-speed is useful, but I thought there were other merits to it as well. If the top is really all there is to it, I might as well just get the combo, provided the mount can facilitate. It was designed with EK in mind, right?

Look at EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. pump) from EK it's every thing you need as far as pump/reservoirs

Or can you just leave that EK bracket off, mount it to the case by the reservoir and leave the pump dangling underneath?

I wont Lie I personally think there is definitely going to be issues with mounting. I have an EK 250 reservoir and i bought the pump/top combo separately ( https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xtop-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump) which a different pump top and it took me a while to figure out how i was going to do this without drilling any holes in my brand new DG 87 LOL So what i came up with was using one of the HD cages to mount the pump in there (which was EVGA's plan for us to be able to do because the HD sliding mounts have holes marked as pump) but unfortunately they don't line up with that bracket and even if i drill holes that do fit, the pump is too big with a fitting to make it work so i will be cutting a large square piece from the top of the cage for clearance to mount the fitting and cutting out one of the side rails for the intake to feed in. Its quite a bit of modding i wasn't planning on but this way there wont be any voiding of warranty since no modding has been done to the actual case itself. I will definitely be looking forward to seeing other peoples custom loops to see what they did. I plan to take pics as i progress in my build and but the cost is ramping up and up so only able to purchase a few components at a time (otherwise wife will catch on to what i'm doing muhahaha)

If you are only cooling a single gpu, mobo, and cpu a single 45mm thick 420mm long radiator is plenty. When adding the second gpu you may find you're pushing the limits of single 420mm radiator, if you are heavily overvlocked. if cooling isn't adequate I would probably add another 120mm to 280mm radiator to the loop at that point. As for push pull config the only time those are useful is when you under sized your radiator and the only way to cool it is with stupid levels of air flow.
