Mine shipped! If DHL is to be believed, the case will make it's way from the UK to beautiful New Jersey in 2 or 3 days, which is kind of awesome. In preparing myself for the build, I've noticed that a lot of YouTubers who use the stock PSU cables (the ones that come with the Corsair sfx units, specifically) have a hard time managing them. Sometimes this leads to a bulge in the top of the case because they can't shove the cables down enough. I have shorter CableMod cables on order, but they'll take a while. In the mean time, anybody have any tips for organizing cables to avoid that bulge?

Also, it seems like you can mount the noctua NH L12s in two different orientations. At least on AMD boards. Any idea whether one is better than the other for thermals? I'm thinking that aligning the fin stack so that the intake fan is able to push air through the small channels would be best, but I'm not sure. My mobo is the ASUS X470-I so I don't think there will be any functional limitations necessitating I orient the L12s one way or the other.

Thanks again guys. You've all been super helpful and I've only been on this forum for a few days.
