Just a few pics of my newly aquired Aerocool Masstige with some water. Really nice case and much cheaper than a stacker. Dual rad fits upfront on the fan bracket perfect. Pump sits on bottom of case next to psu.

Excuse the dust and such, doing some remodeling...








 
very nice work,
I was thinking bout getting that case also.
Can you take a shot with the side panel off? i'd like to see how yea got your radiator up front.
 
Can you post a pic of the mounted rad? Btw, this should be in the gallery.
 
i have a very similair setup as you. I love this case. sold my silverstone tj06 for it
 
As far as Stacker imatations go, that is the nicest one I have seen.
 
i have a masstige as well and I love it!!! How did u mount the dual rad? Ive been bugging the hell out of aerocool for an extra front fan mount and so far no luck. Can u please tell me that u did? pics please!!! :)
 
I really like it, lots of space and potential in that case. The price is pretty good too!

I dont like the Stackers because they have those raised area on top. I wish these cases had aluminum variants, even if it had an additional $50 price jump, I'd pay it to have a nice quality alu. data storage case.

Nice work on the watercooling, lots of fun can be had with those side panes. :)

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)

I like this case and plan on reviewing it once I get my case review site up. Should take a few months.
 
Here are some pics showing how the rad is mounted.







I use the front 120 fan bracket to mount the rad, opposite side of the fans. Works very nice...
 
just wantnted to let everyone that I contacted aerocool and the were extremely helpful and are sending me an extra front 120mm fan bracket. I plan on having two 120mm fans in front and later adding a dual rad. Cost was 10 bux.
 
how do you like those fans you have on your rad?
how loud?

great idea putting the foam in near the rad, i think i might have to copy that idea.

just bought the case a little while ago.
 
Fans are not loud at all, not dead silent mind you but I hear the hardrive over them. I have them setup through Uguru to increase speed as my cpu temp increases, changes from 8v to 12v. Looks cool too since the fans get brighter as temp increases. I used the Xtreme Turbine fans because of their higher static pressure at low noise levels...

nice. I'm kind of a freak about fan noise. I've really got into the whole quiet computer thing.
i might get a fan controller to go with the set up
 
Eww stock DFI chipset fan! *shivers*

Nice setup man, using the front fan mount looks like it works very well. Cleaner than my zip ties. Here's a link to my coolview that I put together a couple weeks ago. I've added some pics of it running too.

what did you replace the stock fan with?
 
why'd you go from the sli-premium to the sli-dr? Did you at least get the expert version? And yes, its much quieter, the DFI fan would spin at like 6500 rpms or maybe 7k, it got pretty loud during gaming when it heats up the most. The evercool keeps it cooler and the fan spins slower, 5k rpm max I think.

the asus board kinda blows for overclocking.
very few ram tweaking options, and the voltage options suck too

no i just went with the regular SLI-DR. I read the expert was much more picky about ram and many were reporting bad temps.
 
I'm surprised that you wanted to move the PCI-E slots closer than the asus's and the experts are. If the expert had been available when I built mine I would have bought it. But the DR will work just fine too. Good luck.
 
yeah i guess they are a bit closer...but i can always just get a 7950 and have SLI on one card. if i don't like the set up i'll just sell it and get an expert, seems as though the DR was getting better reviews overall.
 
so i got the DFI board in today, you were not kidding those PCI-e slots are really close to each other. I guess i didn't really check that first...i feel spoiled my my asus board now.

oh well i guess they should be alright.
