Indeed, But it is still Smaller than them V8 Air Coolers.  Also I can use any Memory I want and not have freak out about the size of Air Coolers.  I did get my 360 today so I will swap it out today and rerun some LLR PG Tasks or that is Prime95

Put the EVGA 1200w P2 and my Old GTX 1080 Ti with Hybrid Cooler in for now. But I will be using Two PSUs once I get the Graphics Cards that I would Like to Have. The 1200 P2 1600 T2 I just got once I get the Two New Graphics Cards. But this all depends on what EVGA is going to allow come next year. As it is I cannot buy any more cards from EVGA's website and the 2080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copper are sold only on EVGA's website or at least last year for the 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copper you could only get from EVGA. I am hold off doing this to the X299 Dark as what I have done on my X299 FTW MB. View System"Bauer German Engineered - what is that ? " der8auer Also I am now using TF8 and Not LM on the CPU Die.

Why such a large case? It seems to have a lot of open space. Is that just personal preference, what you had, or maybe for thermals? Are parts missing and leaving that huge amount of open space? Just wondering because it seems to be a beast of a machine and take up even more space due to the case.

Well after I install the second Power Supply (Today) and the custom Water Loop for the Graphics Cards it will fill out. But also a lot of recycled computer parts and personal preference as well. Going to Drop the Red PCIe Power Cables this time and going all Black.

Looks good. I really like the horizontal motherboard mounting. I've been considering the Thermaltake Level 20 XT for my next case.
