The Ammo Box is completed!
-snip-
Killer build! Glad people here could help you out.
New build mangos.
I'm not a mango. D:
Otherwise that is an insanely clean build. I've been wanting to build with the white 440 and the HALE series PSU along with those white sleeved cables they sell. And the white mobo MSI started making. And the strix card. Yum.
Very nice aesthetic choices you made there. :)

I might clean mine up during the rest of winter break and post it.

Thanks! This is by far the best case I've owned. And I've had 800D, Air 540, Phantom 820, CM2, and many more. I changes cases like underwear.

I actually wanted the red/black combo case. But they were OOS and I was impatient. Plus the better half gave me the go ahead on the build if I got the white one to match her Corsair 600D White Edition.

I'm planning to buy the NZXT 440 and Kraken X61 for my new PC. How is the cooling and airflow in the case with the top mounted rad? I like the look of the case but the heavy padding and very small vents at the top and front concern me with respect to cooling and airflow. Did you have any issues with that yet?

Thanks.

Edit: Just for context I'm planning to do some mild OCing on a 4690K.

This case is perfect for that price range. It is actually the one I would buy. It has good airflow with 3 x 120mm at the front and top, not counting one on the bottom and one on the rear of the case.

It also have dust filters on front and bottom where the intakes are preferably.

If you prefer, you could place your kraken x61 at the front of the case for cool air intake. But you shouldn't have temperature issue with it at the top.

It only supports 2 top fans. I don't think the case has room for a fan on the bottom. It only has an intake for the PSU. But it's mainly the very restricted airflow of the front and top panels that worry me. The vents look tiny.

Very nice Biggu. Can you tell us more about your cooling solution?

Sure!

Its the following items;
Alphacool Ut60 Triple 120mm
Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-15 in push pull
Alphacool ut60 Quad 120mm (under the mid plate)
Coolermasters 120mm push pull ( wasn't to worried about quality on this one since it is under the midplate)
Alphacool vpp655 single edition (Quantity 2)
EK D5 Dual CSQ Pump Top - Acetal
EK 12mm/16mm Acrylic tubing
EK 12/16 CSQ fittings - Nickel
EK Res X3
EK Supremacy EVO
EK R5E moffset and NB block
GTX 980 Hydro copper block
EK blood red coolant
Flow is as follows res->d5 dual pumps-> quad ut60-> triple ut60->cpu-> moffset-> NB-> GPU-Res.

not the loop designed I wanted, but for cleanliness of routing this works well.

Just booted it up after giving it a huge bath the other day... (Apogee GTZ leaked like crazy)

Replaced with XSPC Raystorm and nothing died thankfully.

Great!

Is there a program to use to help span though?

My wallpaper is duplicated on both monitors.

I think you have to extend your desktop with Eyefinity or nvidia control panel. I don't think windows does it by default.

Supposedly selecting the 'tile' option for picture positioning will do this. I always just use duplicate backgrounds, so I haven't tried this.

In the past I just used functional cases and no real stylish insides, not even cable management. Decided that when I stepped my pc up to the i5/i7 upgrade I would create a case with some bling. Really digging how it turned out. Love this case.
