Interesting cooler set up Roadking and very nice build!! My XM case has a drop down side panel like yours has a swing away and the only problem I find with this setup id the trailing cables for the fan/s. Mine has 2 X 140 in the side pity it couldn't be rigged so that pushing home and locking the panel didn't automatically plug those leads in and out eh? Like have a plug on the door and a socket on the case edge where they meet.
I am now just wondering how that could be done.....
Are you referring to the PUMP rotating it 90 counter-clockwise to tighten/curve the hoses some?
I wanted to have the radiator the other way (hoses @ front of the case) but the way I have the radiator in this case is the ONLY way it will fit (unless I got a full tower case with more room up top). The H100i fit either way. The fill-end of the radiator is raised up and the fans come from the factory screwed on on the same side making it flush, but I had to unscrew the fans, flip the radiator and install it this way since there isn't enough room inside the case to have the radiator 180 degrees from the way I installed it (the mobo ports area is in the way).
I am also thinking of getting an extension cable for the pump power cable so I can run it through behind the case. I HATE seeing that cable hanging there in photo 2! :) There is also an ALL BLACK extension cable for the power supply harness I want to order as that's the only thing throwing off my color scheme (besides the couple pcie cards that are green).
Ok I just ran mine back so it was up an out of sight a bit as the rad fitted anyway and the tubes were a tad long anyway. Yep that cable would look better routed through on of those ports in the back near where the 24 comes though eh. I like Britton hate seeing colour onside I wrapped my 24 pin and any other exposed non black wiring up in matt black home made tape so that even it didn't show but potty is as potty does
