Arctic Freezer II 280 + TUF 6900XT completed
It was really hard fit inside.
btw: Freezer`s pump noise upset me. Will change it to EKWB 280 Classic when it will realease

Ok I found it on mesh web page there is a option to buy separetly but its not available yet, its coming soon, so one day, but other problem some has found in this case is why not made bigger holes such as hexagonal holes or at least just bigger circle holes for better air ventilation, no matter if u wanna all side glass or all mesh, bigger holes would help temps a lot...
Finally got around to transferring my build into this case:
Some notes:
You can put the spine in after the radiator to have it straddle the tubes and then route the far back tube through the bottom GPU access area. This helps a ton with fans in pull-config where there isn't enough room to make the tight bend around the spine.
There is nowhere to hide in this case except for the top. Shove all the case I/O, RGB, fan cables, etc up there.
The logo side is intake on the EK Vardar fans, so the cross beams should be pointing out the front of the case for a pull/exhaust config.
I would have preferred to do a push config, but the clearance of some of the cables made me nervous about a cable shifting into one of the fans long-term, and you also lose the nice front RGB with push-config.
An extension for the 24pin helps a ton in terms of getting the 24pin out of the radiator's airflow path and also for allowing for the SF750 to be facing fan-in so it's not starved for air if it spins up.
Be careful with the radiator when maneuvering it into position, the fins are very fragile and pliable.
Yes, I took the EK logo foil off the CPU block! Just didn't do it before I took the photos, sorry.
Right-angled DP1.4 adapter is just £9 on Amazon UK, fits with GPU in the middle position.
£69(nice) for cables is not that bad if they are sleeved. I paid like 110€ for my first set of unsleeved cables for T1, now that was a total rip-off.

Thinking of swapping out my BeQuiet Pureloop 280mm for a custom loop since I actually bought a new Motherboard, CPU, RAM and such. Is there a good pump res combo that fits on the bottom of the case? I am better off sticking to something like the Barrow block? Any news of the Iceman reservoirs as well?
GHOST S1 meets the requirements of a hardcore gamer in terms of cooling, storage and full-length GPUs, nethertheless you might still want to have more options.

"There is nowhere to hide in this case except for the top. Shove all the case I/O, RGB, fan cables, etc up there."
There is a few places to hide cables which i noticed you didn't find. You can hide alot of the cables underneath the motherboard, like the 8pin and 24pin cables for the motherboard, I just choose not to put my 24pin there as i felt it hid my front I/O cables not having my 24pin under the mobo. You can also hide a lot of cables behind the GPU like fan cables and RGB cables, and lastly there is usually enough room underneath the rad to fit a fan hub to also hide more fan wires.
"I would have preferred to do a push config, but the clearance of some of the cables made me nervous about a cable shifting into one of the fans long-term, and you also lose the nice front RGB with push-config."
I have mine in a push config, if your route the cables and ziptie them they aren't going anywhere near the fans, im sure you can achieve the same!
"An extension for the 24pin helps a ton in terms of getting the 24pin out of the radiator's airflow path and also for allowing for the SF750 to be facing fan-in so it's not starved for air if it spins up."
Again using zipties and planning where you want to route your cables, and even running your 24pin under the motherboard will have the 24pin out of the way of the rad airflow.
Was browsing through Instagram and came across this very interesting build and he credited u/ghim7 , but ya he put the case in 4slot mode to leave room to hide the cables easily between the GPU and Spine. Very clever!

Smart, but also pretty much necessary given the freaking massive sleeving on those wires. I kind of get it - thicker wires look cleaner and almost always better - but that is cartoonishly thick. I'm genuinely curious how they managed that, whether it's just some kind of extra thick sleeving, if they added several layers of sleeving, or if they're just using stupidly thick wires.
