Why did they have to go and use up one of the 5.25 bays for a front panel? I would have liked to have 3 intake fans on this case. I'm also getting that MFC1 Plus so I guess 3 intakes is out of the question anyways. Looks like a fun build, too much fun! Just remember to manage those cables so your fans doesn't have to work so hard.

haha thanks mate, really it was quite fun building the pc. Needed to channel my energy on something.

And pokemon :

There is no ways you can fit 3 x 120mm at the front, which is a pity, but then again, this is a mid size case, with most full ATX case you can probably have 3 intake fans at the front.

And Im gonna spend a bit more time this afternoon sorting the cabling out, thanks : )

Yeah, I'm debating with the Stacker 810, but I think it would be nice to have a smaller case that still gets some good cooling. Don't forget to have fun :)
