Very nice temps. What's you're ambient?

Great stuff, that is one beast of a case! How do you like it?

And as for your radiator, seems like with a little more cutting, you could get that thing mounted inside your case at the op there since you can (and did) move the PSU down to the bottom.

the house is set to 68F which is 20c, but my room is in the basement so its a bit cooler (65F, 18c)

yeah, my dad and i talked about that but the problem would be routing the tubing without kinks. i would pretty much have to cut the top psu mount out. plus it would play hell on the cases internal airflow. but ill play around with the idea

Seems like you could just cut two (larger) holes in the bottom of the top PSU cage to route tubing through. As for the airflow, you could just add another 120mm intake fan to three of the the front 5.25" drive bays and then configure your rad fans to blow through the radiator and out of the case. Then you could turn the rear 120mm exhaust fan around to blow into the case and that would give you three 120mm fans blowing in (two in the front and one in the rear) and three 120mm fans sucking air up and blowing it out the top of the case through the radiator.
