tj08-e
That case with a 180mm rad would be a interesting combo. Though from the looks of things it too won't be able to fit a corsair hx750
Shoot at this point I'm about to just say screw it and stick with an ATX case for watercooling. Unless anyone has anymore cool ideas?
You can WC The TJ07 much easier than the TJ08. I finally decided to try the TJ07 and see if a 2x120mm rad would fit, since after a lot of searching all I found were people asking if H100's would fit. I can finally say they do, kinda. You give up a lot when you try to stick a rad up front. Mainly all the internal drive bays, and one of the 5.25" bays.
The problem with getting a 120mm rad to fit easily is the 2.5" SSD mounts on the bottom of the case. That part of the case is elevated from the rest of the bottom of the case, and the 2.5" mounting points are recessed from the bottom, raising them up inside the case even further (see pic).
The metal has enough give (you only need about 1.5mm for the H100's radiator) to where you can force it to fit. I chose to mush the screw hole that was in the way to get the space I needed.

you can get psu extender to fit any psu in it, but i'd just get some shorter psu (there are even >1000w ones that would fit in)
That picture looks a bit different in the front panel then the ones I've seen of that case.
P.S. what do you think of the Maximus V board?
Interesting, That case does look pretty slick too. just not a big fan of the fake aluminum look front panel...
WOW! look at how much has been CRAMMED into that small space
I'm not big on it either, although, it does look decent in reality, I do agree that the TJO8-e is nicer looking due to the front bezel being ally, but man the Arc mini is a breeze to WC in comparison and there are some sweet ones in these forums all looped up.

The first pic is my TJ07 and the second is a TJ08. The only difference in the two cases is the front. You'll have more dvd-rom/psu room with the 07 model. As far as the maximus V goes, it's a nice mobo. However, for a gaming pc using a non ivy bridge cpu, the maximus IV gene gen3 is a better value.
