Yup, that's what makes it worth it, hehe.

Here's 2 nice pics of a neat layout I found on Google Images of the case, some nice interior space I say!

Think that guy has enough HDDs? :lol:

CPU cooler looks a tight fit. Luckily not a problem when you WC.

Well, I've ordered and payed for my HAF 922! A buddy of mine is going to help me paint the inside black as well, he did the same with his PC. I'm going to take pics and basically do a how-to for the forum. But only if it's a success! :lol:

Thanks for the recommendation man! I can't wait for it to arrive, my case is feeling so cramped, the airflow really isn't great at the moment since adding the new watercooling.

The stock should be arriving middle of the month, so I'll have it all set up in 2 - 3 weeks. :P

Yup will do! Trying to get a block for my GPU so that I can add it to the watercooling loop as well, but it's tricky, because I can't find any available locally, and I'm not sure how long it will be before I upgrade to a DX11 card (probably the 500 series when it's out) so I don't wanna pay too much.

Well, if nVidia takes as long with the 500-series as they did with the 400-series, then don't hold your breath. :D

Nah I've checked rumours about 2nd half of this year, which will be perfect, gives me some time to save for it after all my recent purchases. Damn, I wanted to just upgrade my PC a bit and then it sorta started snowballing... :lol:

Same here... just wanted to replace my graphics cards and I ended up selling my whole system and building a new PC from scratch. :D

I dunno man... second half of this year? Sounds like a bit of a stretch. Rumours are exactly that... rumours. I'm sure they'll bring out a GTX 480 revision with the full 512 stream processors before they bring out a new series of cards. But... if they do, then all the better for you! :)

Awesome, just got word that my case has arrived. Finish work around 1PM tomorrow, so shall shoot through to Somerset West and collect it. Great success! :D

Aargh, the dreaded water draining has arrived. I always manage to mess somehow, haha.

I'm just about done transferring my PC to my Lian Li case, just need to do some better cable management in some places.

Please excuse the bad pics, but all I have is my phone now and it sucks in low light, will update with proper camera pics on the weekend. Very happy with this case! Not sure yet if I prefer it with the windowed side panel or the plain black one, time will tell... :)

Aaah! Looks great, Ryan! :D Man, your machine is in its prime now! I wouldn't have the blue and red CCFLs in there if I were you, but that's just preference :) So, you see what I mean now about "Once you use a Lian-Li, you'll understand"? :D

Thanks man! I agree about the lighting, not sure what I'll do because it looks dull without it but I want to get another blue and only have that colour maybe... Would you just have no CCFL's?

I definitely see what you mean, Lian Li is the way! I also love the aluminum because its a huge case but feels so light! The doors are just quite hard to slide on an off, I think it's the aluminum.

Thanks MT! Yeah DAE I took out the CCFL's, looked a bit too lan-boy for me and sorta ruined the theme of this stylish case... :)

Awesome :D

I think if you put some white lights in there, it would look awesome :)

Yeah I was struggling to find any around here, they're all green, blue or red, blah. Will have a look a look around, cos white will go great with the case! Man I can't wait to see your finished project on the A77... :D

Never seen white light before... well, not in a PC case. :D

My new case is going to be all about the red light!
