Great Case but a bit pricey and needs quite a few modifications if planning more than just cpu cooling

Reviewer: RavenOwner (1)
Ok, I know it''s a little late but here is my full review. Having never worked with watercooling components before, I wanted to try this custom raven, since I already owned an air cooled version of it which works really well. I must admit though this case definitely gave me a good crash course in watercooling. This case with the larger radiator was able to handle my core i7 cpu and dual nvidia gtx 580''s in SLI. Where my vid card temps at around max load never seem to exceed 75 degrees. So it deffinitely cools well. Also base temps are 32 degrees and holding. I did have to completely modify the stock build though. I had a few problems which probably could have been easily avoided, such as the opening at the top where the coolant gets added would continuously overflow due to the upper tubing being submerged at the bottom of the reservoir. I had to change the position of it by sliding the resevoir down a bay and running the insertion tube to the top opening of the reservoir instead of the bottom right corner. Also it takes a bit of priming due to the reservoir design. But that wasn''t too bad, and it looks pretty awesome. I am currently having an issue with the side of the reservoir leaking where the two white wires feed in to the side of the reservoir. I am not sure how to correct it, but I think I might be able to use a silicon base gel to seal it. I don''t think they ran a leak test on it though before they shipped it out. At least not on mine. Overall, it is a great case when you finish it, but i just don''t think it was worth the large price tag for the custom build since I had to replace all but the pump location. My recommendation is to buy the regular case and the watercooling parts you need, then install it yourself.
