@Sledgehammer

Are you going to upgrade that monitor?

 

[soulesschild]

I just wish it was easier to mod for a 2nd rad =/ Gorgeous mods though.

Case is freaking huge

Heres the 800D Mnpctech just finished for Hardware Canucks. We modified the case for 420 radiator in top and HWC logo window. The paint is HoK Candy Apple Red.

Wow awesome job!

I finished my build in my new 800D last weekend. I'm pretty happy with it for now, it even does OK on air until I get all my parts together for water. I only have one major gripe, and its that the hot swap bay power connector is retarded. Why did corsair put it backwards so that a 90* power connector would have to come from the front side not the motherboard side? This lead me to using a regular SATA power connector on it (I'm using corsairs AX850 btw) and breaking the connector clean off because the regular one is too tall to fit under the neat little cover. Terrible design.

Other than that, happy with it! Now to get down to water cooling. Sorry for the terrible pics, my droid X camera sucks.

My air-cooled 800D.

This is the case I really want. It's so sleek and not overly done like others.

I was debating on getting a corsair carbide 400R but just sprung a little extra for the 800D.

^^ two posts up, how do you like that lian li 5.25 120mm bay fan? I think I would spray paint black over the logo for a cleaner look.

The bay is great for adding an additional intake fan to the case. The stock Lian Li fan was bit lacking in the CFM department so I replaced it with a Scythe S-Flex "G" fan.

I don't mind the Lian Li logo. Really doesn't take away from the look when you see it in person. To me, the LG drive and it's logo is far worse offender due to its plasticky exterior. I wonder if there's any optical drives with black brushed aluminum housing in the market...
