Rumor has it you can get it to fit my mounting the fans between the top of the case and the radiator, but no one has tested it yet. Instead of mounting the fans below the radiator

Ouch, I think it might be getting out of my range at this point, especially when you add another $20 for the handle, well that is a bummer.

I am planning on running the 3700x as well but I really want to over clock it to 5 GHz so I am waiting to see what the Ryzen 3 overclocking headroom is. Also with overclocking in mind I am pretty sure I will have to go water cooling. I just want 5 GHz on all cores, I know it wasn't going to come...

I personally feel like a front USB port is crucial and I personally prefer the fastest one possible. For me the reason being that I use the front USB port for flash drives and if I am transferring a large file the speed and time it takes matters. So the faster the front port the better, in...

I really didn't expect a 5 GHz chip that rumor seemed too strong but I was hoping for 4.8 which they didn't quite hit either. My goal was to overclock to 5 GHz on an 8 core system, but I know AMD doesn't have much overclocking headroom as AMD already pushes the boost clock near the max. I will...

I see no need to move the GPU, but I did plan on installing a side dust filter, the nice thing about having the top and bottom exhaust is that in theory I won't need a dust filter on them. But from a testing methodology we don't need to introduce the dust filter as that doesn't come with the...

I understand, I will say personally I don't care about window panel's I never build my systems for display just for functionality and as compact as I can. Given the option especially if it is cheaper I will always pick vented side panels for both sides. Possibly even solid panel for the CPU side...

Ouch on that price, I know the Cerberus is an established product but now it costs even more then the Cerberus. The price is getting pretty steep. I mean I understand development costs and early adopters normally having to pay more but it is starting to make me pause and think...

The 580? It can mount two 140mm fans on the bottom, but my understanding is no official rad support

Agreed although I would like to see that 580 build with the vented side panels and a full negative pressure setup. I personally don't care about a 570 setup as the 580 was going to be the case I pick up.

First of all I am not doing intake on the bottom I am exhausting out the bottom also I am not concerned about my AIO a 280mm rad will be more then enough for even an overclocked Ryzen 3 I am more concerned about the heat on my GPU and this method will remove a lot of the heat from the GPU while...

That is my plan as well with the SM580, using the vented side panel to have the air cooled GPU pull in cold air and then have a 280mm AIO exhausting out the top with another 2x140mm fans on the bottom exhausting out as well. This should create a strong negative pressure environment.
