Due to a tragic happening with a fellow Member of TPU. [RIP] Mkmods.
Him and I talked a few times before he died on making the Silver Stone Raven02 into a monster of a water case. It has plenty of patential but, It looked like Silverstone just wanted to try and copy a case Instead of building onto what they had.. IMO if it.
So, now, to the big thing:
How to make this work????
First I thought about the bay drive.. Why have one when:
So, take out the bay!
Yeah, I took it all out.. Why? What's the point? Nothing going to be placed there.. Am I right? We're going -X-treme with this!
Now, what am I going to place there?
Black Ice Gen2 Stealth 140mm rad which hold two Blue Vortex fans.
Now, you see that that 140 fit's pretty nice there right? But, holding it there is another thing.. EK has it going.
With a little bit of adding more screws, I make sure that won't slide down any time soon.. Pretty stirdy might I add.
Now, you've seen the PSU in a different place... Your right on that.. I flipped the back panel. It's going to need some work on modding it, but it'll work once it's finished.
Oh, how it looks..
Now, that you see that.. What about all that space between the PSU and the front? I mean, I took the fans and filters out.. Well, I got a RAD for that.
Dang, a 420 rad can fit there.. Now, can 140mm ones fit.. NOPE.. it's a few inches bigger then it has space for.. a triple 140mm will fit nice.. But, I think I like this 120 quad rad there better.. Still thinking on that..
Now, you see the rad(s) and the back panel.. what about that area that the PSU was at? Well, Got a Danger Den Monsoon res. It's a pretty nice little thing.Hope it looks nice where I'm going to show you..
Now, why is there duct tape there? Well, in order for it not to mess with the psu's cables.. I gotta raise it a bit higher then the panel in the back.. So, I find that it's high enough with a PCI bracket cover to clear everything.. Just gotta cut a panel for it, to also place there to raise it.. Gotta wait for that..
Now, why am I doing it? I mean I've asked TPU for help on the case that's taken FOREVER to make... Well, Mark was an inspiration to everyone.. Great man and will be missed. So, even though I don't know the FULL extent on what he was trying to plain... I want to make the case to what we've talked about and had idea's of..
More to come.... When I got time.

First I thought about the bay drive.. Why have one when:
- I use usb blu-ray drive
- My hdd's are SSD's and network for downloading on another rig

I am not sure you have enough radiator.
