Very nice builds guy's

Yes I can't chose best build in Hadron, all of them are excellent.
I didn't know... EVGA ACX CPU Cooler, original old one is possible to fit in Hadron?
 

This is best Idea...

 
There are several nice watercooling, 3-4 really nice and best Air is Jacob's Hadron.
 

Idea with cables was excellent. 
Really bad because EVGA didn't install 600W PSU inside.
Problem was probably to find good platform for normal price in that format.
I mean bad for people as you, many configurations could work and with 500W.
Reason why I like Hadron is because remind on Iphone from front panel. 
Desktop PC will not gone only people will figure out that they could play same with much smaller RIG and bring them when they go somewhere on 2-3 days easy. More problem will be to remove monitor than whole gaming RIG.
I read for lot of cases where people sell nice RIGs for gaming laptops and after few months sell them and build small rigs because gaming on laptop and desktop PC never can't be same. Like I say I expect smaller pumps, reservoirs, maybe even 80mm radiators, smaller graphic cards with HBM2 memory for 5-6 years at least 50% of people will have Mini ITX boards and lot of them Micro ATX.
 

Whooh...this is crazy good inside...I like clear tubes same as black and red.
Only I think front panel of Hadron is mark of that case and should stay in original state.
You should make and interior photos.
 

Golden #8 cuz of the gold :P

I don't have an actual build log but I can take some pics and point at the various simple mods made, some mistakes and lessons learned. I'll update this later on.

Hey guys! 
I've been looking to upgrade my current build from my Silverstone RVZ01 to something watercooled. I like having my pc on my desk, but my current air setup is making a lot of noise (plus there is no window, how am I supposed to bask in my hardware's glory then!?).
My first idea was the Bitfenix Prodigy, but I don't like the orientation of the motherboard. I love the look of the EK waterblocks and I'd really like to be able to see it. The other option was the Bitfenix Prodigy M, but thats an mATX build.
 
Then I came across the EVGA Hadron! Now, THIS is the case I am looking for! My only thought is now. Do I go for the air or the hydro version? I much prefer the look of the air, as I think the hydro looks quite "oblong", and I don't like having the tubes running outside the case.
I'm inspired to try and see if I can watercool inside the hadron air, like the Gold Nugget on this thread, but I'm worried I won't know how to cut the fans down so they fit. Does anyone know how this was done? Do I need any fancy tools?
 
Really cool builds all around, I can't wait to join the club!
 
Oh and that white/metal air build with the noctua fan grill looks _AMAZING_! I might just skip the watercooling and go straight for something similar hehe.

My build for those interested.......

Basically an evga 780ti (corsair hg10, 120mm push/pull fan water loop, o/c, max Temps low 50s degree C)
i5 6600 @4.5 (92mm radiator, push/pull silent fans on corsair pump water loop, Max temp on Intel burn @70 Dec C).
Kept the two 120mm fans on top as extraction.

Project: Blue-Thunder
Completed 2 days after X-mas 2015 (nearly 1 whole year delayed!)
My Son and I labored over the PSU sleeving and wire management - his general introduction to PC mods.
Glad to see this forum is still running active for the Hadron builders.

Not as cool as the other builds here, but still my cutest PC ever! With an EVGA GTX 970 of course.

Here is my little beast.  Shes the Mark XLVI.  
EVGA Hadron Air
Intel Core i7 4790
Asus Maximus Imapct VI
8 GB DDR 3 1866 Crucial Ballistix Tracer
EVGA GTX 970 SC
Crucial M.2 256GB SSD
2 X Intel 520 480 GB SSD in Raid 0
3 Thermaltake Riing 120mm Fans
EKWB DDC Pump and 100ml Res combo
EKWB 120x120x64 mm Rad
EKWB Gold 16mm Fittings
Koolance 90 degree tight chrome fittings
EKWB Acrylic 16mm Tubing
2x Darkside UV LED Strips

Very cool! How are temps with the front mounted rad? Is it one-rad-only? What pump/res combo is that and was it difficult getting it mounted?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm looking at WC'ing my Hadron Air as well.

This is the end of about 3 months of on and off work and waiting for parts and being lazy I've been lurking on these forums for quite some time now. (this has also been posted on overclock.net forums)

I'd like to thank Wanou for his inspiration with project milk (I would not have had the courage to cut my power supply cables had it not been for your guide!). I'd also like to thank teflontanten's project black and red which was a good starting point for what I wanted the end result to look like.

Let Me Start off By saying that this was my first attempt at any custom water cooling whatsoever and also the first time I've ever built a mini ITX system. This was also the first time I've ever attempted any sort of power supply mod.

A few things I learned:

-Watercooling fittings can get F@*KING Expensive!!!
-It's good to take breaks and step away from the project for a while to come back with a fresh mind.
-The Hadron Hydro is an extremely hard case to work with, BUT if you throw enough time (and money lol) into it, it will turn out amazing



When I began this project I first thought I'd buy the Hadron Hydro and the cooling kit and make a few mods here and there. I quickly realized that this case is (no offense to anyone) pretty ugly if not heavily modified. This is when I started burning a hole in my wallet! The only thing I kept from the Hydro cooling kit was the radiator!

I started with removing the HDD bay and also making sure not to completely cut out the optical drive tray as I wanted room for a blu ray drive. Then came the task of shortening all the power supply cables and attaching pre sleeved extension cables, which is a must with this case if you want it to look good on the inside!. Then came the task of attaching the reservoir/pump to the case with 1 inch long nylon spacers so I could route the ATX power wire behind it and to the motherboard. Then I drilled holes for the wifi antennae. The last thing I did was mount the SSD and HDD onto a bracket that holds 2X 2.5inch drives and then attached it to the power supply, putting it directly under the GPU. The GPU is actually hiding most of the wiring for me, so thank you GPU!

This is still not finished as I have not done any lighting which is going to be another pain. I'll update with pics once I accomplish this. Also I'm working on changing the reservoir top to a multi port top so that I can fill this thing more easily. The clearance between the fan and reservoir makes it impossible to fill via the port on top, so I implemented and extra port on one of the outer tubes that connects from radiator to the "IN" port of the pump, although this does not work well at all and I need to tilt and move the entire PC around in order to fill it, so at the moment the reservoir is not filled to an optimal level.

Hi, here is my small Hadron, and the Link to my Build Log

there are some seriously beautiful builds in here. 

EVGATech_MDecker
there are some seriously beautiful builds in here. 

Yes Hadron is still one of most attractive little case.
Mini ITX board and i7-6700K and GTX1080 are perfect for Hadron.
If Intel launch CPU with 6 core in mainstream soon popularity of little case will become even bigger.
There are great build here but personally I like most when front panel is intact and original. 
Last build with Hadron Hydro and water cooling stuff is incredible.

EVGA will probably in next 1-2 year to launch some successor... That would be nice, but little bigger...
Size should be on first look as Mini ITX case, small but with option to fit and mATX, 120mm fan on back side and 240mm on top.
On that way people could use some 240mm CPU cooler and EVGA Hybrid graphic card.
And front side should stay similar. PSU could be behind motherboard tray on side, same PSU type as in Hadron, only with 100W more, 600W.
If PSU is on that position, installed cables could be very short, maybe ribbon, non modular of course, maybe naked wires because more space.
PSU installed with nice cable management only to customer have enough space to connect graphic card and motherboard and SDD, HDD.
 
 
 
For now Hadron is great and for office and for powerfull Mini gaming RIG.
There are some flaws of Mini ITX board but last 2 years people have good choice of USB Sound Cards.
On first place i7 Intel Processor, I'm ultra fan of Intel i7 and he is great for fast work, surfing, Word, Excel, ...
He have nice graphic card with Broadwell and Skylake generation if people don't need graphic card... But good graphic card is always welcomed and Founders Edition is great for Hadron, small power consumption of Intel i7-6700K and GTX1080 FE are perfect for Hadron,
