removed the tempered glass due to camera glare sorry for the potato quality
found some good real estate for decals
then I promptly hide them under the top cover because decals are stupid
used some quick disconnects for the CPU and GPU block
this is the air exhaust valve i managed to fit on the top rad for bleeding the system, i can get my index finger in there
i put a qdc on a T swivel for easy access to drain the system when the door is open
Drilled out a pass through so that my tube runs to cover up access to my ram
heres the back side where the run connects to the multi port res from XSPC
need to trim out some of the wire management support so that i had clearance to connect the fill port coupler
theres about 3mm of space left after buying aftermarket screws and drilling out some countersinks on the acrylic mounting for the pump res. now it sits flush on top of the fans. i put some zen coils in there reduce noise from possible vortex of the water
Also used a bit of neoprene to support the GPU from sagging
theres hardley any space between the bottom fans and the MB, i needed to buy an extension cable to connect the front panel USB because the header is so larger
Really wish there was more clearance above the rear I/O i couldnt connect a rotary fitting and had to go with a fixed bend and extension to complete his run.
also a tight fit since i went with main chamber side rad there two 90 fittings sandwiched here between the rads since im using both sides for qdc and runs
with all the tight fits, after assembling this case im only left with one feeling

This is my O-11 air, this case is pretty great but its actually really cramped keep scrolling and youll see what i mean. found a use for the empty bit of space on top of the case by adding some flairs. I hide the decals under the top cover because decals are stupid, i think ill keep adding more as i swap parts. Used quick disconnects for the cpu and gpu. Found a bit of space for a air exhaust valve from bitspower, theres enough room here to just get my finger in there to press the valve. I then put a quick disconnect on a rotary T fitting for draining the loop, it swivels so access is very simple. I also drilled a pass through so i dont have to do a tube run over the ram, ram isnt RGB though. On the back side of the case it connects to a multiport res from xpcs. I had to cut out a bit of the wire management area so that the fill port of my quick disconnect had clearance for the coupler to properly secure.
when installing the acrylic mounts for the tube res I had to get after market screws and drill out some countersinks on the res mounting so i had the space at the bottom of my case between the res and and the gpu block, theres about 3mm of room left i then used a piece of neoprene to prop up the gpu block so it wont sag.
speaking of space, its a tight fit everywhere, I needed to buy an extension cable for the front panel usb 3.0 because there's no room between the bottom fans and the motherboard to connect the regular cable normally.Also theres barley any room above the motherboard I/O, I had to get a fixed rotary and an extension fitting to connect the tube run for the top res since a rotary wouldnt fit, finally had another tight fit with the side res in the main chamber, used two 90 fittings here to connect the run.
after assembling this build I only have one reaction. see the final pic
