The specs are listed a few posts up, in post #28. If you have a specific question, I'm happy to answer it.What air cooling space / options are there for this design?

Airflow is in through the front, out through the back. Obviously, the CPU and PSU are going to get air that's been through the GPU, but I'm betting on the high overall air volume being moved by the front 140mms and rapid cycling limiting the overall temperature rise so the negative impact on the CPU/PSU should be limited.With the original concept, the component layout is where the graphics card is immediately behind the intake fans. I also notice a side window. What are your thoughts for cool air supply for the cpu cooler? A tower cooler could have intake from top I/O, or rear. A top-down cooler would have to be lower profile due to window.
Thanks for the detailed illustration! Are there cpu tower coolers that can be mounted vertically (horizontally in this case)?Airflow is in through the front, out through the back.

I get it now. (Little slow here)Not sure I understand the question. You can use any cooler - tower or top-down - that comes in under the height limit (~145mm). Maybe it will help if I use realistic components:
That's a Noctua NH-U9S, which a 125mm tall tower cooler.

No, not meant as critique, I really would love to read a book about your journey into design. I've bought the book about Jony Ive for the same reason, it's fascinating and tends to read much more comfortably on paper (or e-paper).Yes I can get a bit long-winded, I know.

One more from myself. If your publisher will allow you to sell it DRM-Free like TOR does for Cory Doctorow's works, that would be great!Nice, that's two confirmed book sales. Should be a cakewalk to get a publisher on board now ;)
Thanks.In a custom loop, where would you mount the pump or pump/res combo?
Looks great BTW. I like the front fan grill a lot!
Thanks.
Custom loop would most likely have to use an expandable AIO like the Phoenix. I really tried to to work out a place for a res, but it just wasn't happening without making the case bigger. It might still be possible to get a small pump/res on the case floor though, with a slimmer rad.
Definitely not for any kind of D5 or DDC pump/res. Maybe an XSPC Ion, if the GPU were moved up.Is there enough room to mount a horizontal pump/res either below or above the GPU?
