Oh well, giving up on the "classic layout" idea. Its the same issue as with ALL of the Shiny Snake Sx00 cases: Just a wee bit too low, missing like 3 - 4 mm.
INSTEAD I'm going back to the 140 AIO concept, and give it a try. I already moved the Raijintek Orcus 140 RBW into the case, going with the "tubes below the PSU" route.Mockup using the Asrock Z690 PG board + Fractal Design Ion+ SFX 650 Gold .. or if that doesnt work, because SFX-L might clash with the pump - worse: using the disgusting FSP Dagger Pro 850.
Other option might be ABOVE the PSU, but there is even less space to move the pump, so I'm very sceptical if that'd work out, at all.
Edit: Scratch that. Just by putting the SFX-L inside without even mounting it, it really SAT on the pump, right on top. To mount the PSU to the case, one would need to push it a few mm lower.. NOT gonna work. And NO, there is NOT ENOUGH SPACE to move the pump block through the upper path = above the PSU section.
So SFX it is. IF at all.
Else (as mentioned before) ...
.. A 120 AIO probably works easily, so thats not a real challenge, but if the 140 route doesnt work, I might give it a try. Got the Frozen Edge 120 sitting around, which I originally bought to play around with the SGPC K39. CPU block height is 55 or 54 mm, so fitting easily (max CPU cooler height is 67 mm). Maybe try a push pull with 2x air slimmer or the regular + one air slimmer 120.
we'll see, somethings gonna work out for sure
