I dug out my most intensive software for testing this PC once built, just to make sure it is 100% up to snuff. I cant wait to see whether or not She can keep it above 60FPS

Spoiler: Benckmark software

To get back in Action so to Speak, I thought i might let those who would like, see what the case looks like. (from what i hear its a Very nice case) to my eye, it is reminiscent of the NZXT phantom i think it was called?
I like how they allowed a cutout space towards the front bezel on the cases botton end, so you can mount a full-size 240+ radiator against the intake

That, IMHO, is what case designers are struggling with the most right now. How to deal with the bottom fan/radiator position on these no ODD cases. I'm putting together a system with a Fractal Design Define C, and it looks really nice with 2 front fans. If you want 3 front fans or want to install a 3X radiator, you have to remove a cover AND lose all 3.5" HDD slots. I wish they'd made the case 25 mm deeper so that 3X fans could be mounted without losing that cover and HDD's, but that would mean that there would be a gap there in front if the bottom fan was not populated.

My case has room for 280 mm plus , if I had to bet money on it I bet you could fit a 360 mm maybe with some modification but I don't think you need to modify anything phanteks enthoo pro m acryllic.
I like those fractal design cases

I'd prefer a full shroud over the PSU and the radiator mounted above it, it looks like a 240 would still fit.

I guess I'll enter for myself. I'm going off to college and leaving my current PC at home for my siblings and while building a totally new PC is always fun it adds more cost to something that already isn't cheap.

My favorite thing about every spring, but this spring especially, is the feeling of freedom. It's always been nearly time to get out of school which is nice, but this year we are the graduating class. It's crazy lol. My class is getting antsy and we're ready to go on to whatever's next. It's scary and exciting at the same time. Not really sure how to explain it but that's my favorite part of spring.

a extra entry if you are batman im batman btw

for those who might be curious, I was genuinely impressed with the quality of that Case. TBH, i never gave much credit to Raidmax (not based on fact), but rather what ive seen in the 2x2" pic's on newegg, etc. Glass panel was nicely cut, good thumb screws,with magnetic pads to hold the glass panel without the screws, but most of all, the spacious interior was what impressed me most, good back panel room for cable routing, I look forward to building in that puppy. 8/10 bananas

i love how they took the time to put the reversed mirror image of their logo on the bottom front of the bezel, so it casts a blue logo when powered on like in the image below.

thats the same spot as in this pic here

Also keep a watch out for something special for our TPU crunching/folding Teams starting around the time we draw the winner

Spoiler: cool mirror image logo cut out.
