Have still got the first case I bought myself and would love to be able to use it again, but I don't think everything will fit or have enough cooling/airflow without major mods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike that - looks like I'll be getting enough delivered today to allow me to build over the weekend - getting excited Might just be one SSD that's not going to be here - easy enough to work around to get it up and running (also splurged on another item - want to wait til it's all setup before I post on it though) Edited 01/07/16 12:08 AM by Rab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
