There's certainly nothing wrong with them other than the price :( I suppose at this point I either pay the extra 100 bucks or get crafty with a dremel. I found some interesting options for doing a bit of case hacking to make it all fit. Nowhere near as clean as yours though! ;)...

yargh! :( That's frustrating. This was the only case I found that was under 8 inches tall and still had a decent amount of room for cooling and a big gpu. Or so I thought. I guess I could get an external bluray drive but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Awesome build, looks super clean! I am looking to do a very similar build although with an ASRock Z87E and an i5 4430. I picked up a 9.5 inch long 7870 and was really hoping I could fit it in with the H60 radiator sideways and keep the optical bay. You mention it won't fit with a 10 inch, is...

Thanks for the input! Unfortunately I totally missed out on that video card deal, its out of stock now :( I don't mind spending a little bit more for better future proofing so I'll definitely consider the i5 instead. What are your thoughts on coolers? The closed loop water coolers seem popular...

Thanks for the reply and pointing that out! I stand corrected, I must have looked at the old version. This is good news, now I just have to make sure my video card is within 10 inches. Any input on cpu/gpu?

Hi guys, I've lurked for quite a long time but never had a reason to post until now. I've decided to jump on board with all this steam box stuff that's been going around but I would like to be able to keep upgrading it over time. I think I have put together a reasonably affordable build but I...
