woah that case has some massive potential... all 2.0mm t6061 powdercoated aluminum construction with a fully modular interior panel design and someone on the user gallery build a DUAL i7 from one... incredible

Unfortunately that case isn't really for liquid cooling. I say that because of all the fans and no central radiator vent location for outgoing heat.

The Corsair D800 (seen here) has an area at the top of the case specifically crafted for triple 120MM radiators that can be stacked double-up with 4x120MMs under and above it. The case has HD's on the bottom, and room for I believe 3x 5 1/4 cooling systems above it, basically making it a liquid coolers wet dream.

For me personally, I am going to get this case, and then vent the hot air out the top (which uses double push/pull fans out of dual stacked radiators) to push the heat right back into my house air return. End result should be a super quiet case which has absolutely INSANE cooling power.

That is the hope at least, I've never done liquid cooling before LOL.

Yo Tim did you get the 800D Case? Ive picked up a 800D and have started buying my water cooling components. I also own two GTX480 SC's and yea they do get hot. Im currently using the EVGA Precision tool to manually set my fan speeds. I have set 3 profiles 65% fans 77% and 96% for intense games like Bad Company 2. Currently with this configuration im looking at 39C and 42C on my cards at idle with fans set to 65%. Bad Company 2 gets me up to the 70-80C marks. If you have ur fans set to Auto you will break the 100C mark easy. Happened to me lol.

So yea Im currently working on my water cooling setup new a few more parts and some waterblocks and I can get it installed. If you need help let me know and Ill help out as much as I can.

BTW heres a link to my post on the EVGA forums, contains a list of components that I am purchasing to do my water cooling setup. Very helpful forums if you have any questions on water cooling your cards post on their site you will get a ton of responses. You may need to login to view images.
