So I started with a base Corsair 600T White. Modified the front to fit 3x 120mm fans, moved hard drive cage back a bit, made the fan openings larger, removed all but one of the 5.25" bays. Took it apart for some cherry red powder coating.
Originally planned on using a custom power coated 1200w Cooler Master PSU but in the end it didn't have the power for my end system.
I really would like to go full water but the 600T just doesn't have the space for enough rads to cool all 4 480's and the cpu. Next case mod will though!
The fans on the H80 are Cooler Master Excalibur's which have been torn apart and painted. When running these fans look like just one solid disc.
The reason this mod is called Power Hungry is basically due to the massive amount of power it uses, needless to say there are only a few PSU's on the market that by themselves can handle this type of power draw.
PC Specs:
Asus Rampage IV Formula
Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz 16GB Quad Channel
Quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 SC
EVGA NEX 1500 SuperNOVA
2x Crucial 256GB M4 SSD Raid
4x 3TB Western Digital Black HDD

Nice job, TurboPenguin! :cool:
Those GTX480s are not only power hungry, but (because of that) they're also producing a lot of heat... if you want to watercool them just for the sake of show, then you may fit in that case (assuming that you will never really push the system)... - but if you want to enjoy all of that power, you will need much better cooling than that!
If you stick to that case, I would consider an external radiator connected only by tubes to the case... like a Phobya G-changer Xtreme Nova 1080 or some of the Watercool's Mo-Ra 3 rads...
