Hey Guys,
I just wanted to put this up on this forum aswell its a build log I did for my most recent build. And the first log I have ever done so hopefully I did a good job at explaining things. If not feel free to ask any questions you have and I will try to respond back ASAP. The lighting is pretty bad in the first couple of videos since I was using my little hand held camera. And the last two are pretty good and I used my iphone for them and they are quite a bit better...lol.

Bare case stripped down ready to be modded.
Close up of the OG Hard Drive cage before I cut one of the 5.25 bays
out to move it up, in order to make room for the radiator.

Another view looking from the front into the bays
Drain mod I did for this system that keeps it hidden by using parts of the case. I gutted out
the plastic stand the inside of the case rest upon that connects to the outside of the case.
I then ran my drain tube out of my radiator with a 90 fitting down through some holes that was already inside the case. I made a notch just be enough for the quick disconnect to fit in so that it would not push back into the plastic.
How it looks when the two parts of the case are together.
Tubbing ran through the inner part of the case.
Multioption res mounted at the top of the case to case fan
system back together with hard drive cage remounted, res and radiator installed.
