So I finally had time to build this thing, though not enough time to do full-blown cable management. I had to "mod" (Ie strip it of it's 5.25" housing) and internally mount my NZXT Sentry Mesh fan controller, as I prefer it for controlling my water-cooling fans (no 5.25" drive bays in this sucker).

All in all, sweet case, a bit of pain, but surprisingly my cooling hasn't really suffered. My CPU temps top out at ~80c when running Prime95 on Max Heat for 2 hours. The GPU is a bit hotter, sitting at ~58c when idling (standard idle for a 1080 is ~55c), and maxing at ~72c when FurMark Burn testing (which is still super low thanks to the MSI Gaming 8G cooler, which is quiet and amazing.

Overall, it's quieter than my last case, a Corsair 500r (though I did install rubber bushings all around), and looks immensely cooler. Here's a static shot, though I prefer color cycles to get max bling blingin.
