Nothing really 'special' about the build. It's collecting dust until I graduate to make some real money to mod it.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
For the end result, I intend to get the interior metal full black. Do an internal liquid cooling system. 2 loops, 1 for CPU, 1 for GPU. I intend to mod the fan rack behind the HDDs to support a 480mm rad [GPU loop] and do a full PnP on it and hope it'll mount to just the bottom two fans okay. Case came with brackets to mount 3x 120mm fans up top and will put in a 360mm rad [CPU loop]. The front panel will get the Cooler Master sticker removed and have my personal brandmark cut out. Replace the front 230mm fan with a red LED one to illuminate the cutout. I will install some red cathodes to illuminate the inside of the case. Overall theme will be black/red.
 
Liquid Cooling system will be solid black tubing but the reservoir will show the red liquid and be lit and mounted next to the 480mm rad.

    Have you tried running the Corsair both ways?  I am thinking about turning mine around to blow air out of the case in push-pull.  What were the temp differences?
     
    Nice build man.  Nice and clean.

    R3E is great. ASUS set it up to properly use slots 1 & 3 to give the cards breathing room to keep temps down. Stays nice and cool and looks sexy.
     
    I haven't done the corsair as outtake yet. I have a custom vent on the case to keep the 480s hot outtake from getting sucked into the H50. If today wasn't the last day of spring break, I would test it. But I would rather not mess with it since I need my computer to work on crap from class.

    In time. I'm 1 year from getting my BFA Graphics Design. After that, it'll be modding galore.

    lol my bad, for some reason I looked at that coolermaster fan and thought it was blowing air out.  Fan-Dyslexia lol

    Here are a couple more I took to show everything.
     
    Overall setup

     
    Straight on side shot

     
     
    Radiator positioning concept  [ Might need to use a 360 instead of 480 to give ample room for tubes ]

     
    Custom air direct for GPU exhaust
