Mods:
Silicon stands for PSU

5 hours of wire hiding and building, but it was worth it :) For now only PSU stand in the bottom have little pieces of silicon cut to them, to prevent PSU touching the case. Need to bend/cut some room for the motherboard tray backside, as the wires are too bulky to fit good there currently. Don't know if I'll make a windows to this case, little sad not the see the cable management, but don't want to mess a brand new case yet :)

I'm assuming your cpu cooler is flipped that way due to the NB heatsink, it's just too bad the top fan is'nt aligned with the airflow of the cooler. Still it's a sweet build, your cable management is good, and btw that is a sick gpu cooler! 7/10 Nice job!

Thanks :)

Nope, I infact flipped it just for this case :) It fits ok other way around too, but now I get NB cooled with same airflow. Fan is also easier to get off in this position and I like the 'hot air rising' thing.

Top fan is on purpose on the other spot. 1 - It cools memory from there, 2 - it's not on the way of 8-pin motherboard connector, 3 - CPU fan is PWM controlled, doubt the push pull effect with static RPM case fan would help at all and CPU cooler hot air has the top holes to escape along with rear case fan.
