The build

This build took a long time to put together around 7 hours just to install every think, To save on space so i can get the most air flow though it as possible, Custom brackets where made up so RAID SSD could be mount to the front normally they wouldn't fit behind the front shield, I only used the molex power cable for all my drives and made custom molex to SATA cables to save on even more room, I think it turned out good but would love to have water on both CPU and GPU using a H220 just don't have the money and already have spent to much so this will have to do for now.

I really want that case for my impact. I have special secret plans I could use to add watercooling. I could not justify $200 for case though no matter how awesome it is. I love your build. 780ti on a 450w psu, must be cutting it close.
