was able to, after a good hour or 2 of rearranging tubing. I was able to fit some of the wires behind MOBO with the help of some handy dandy Duct Tape. Also re mounted the radiator on one of the top fans. Here are the results.

On one of the pictures the tubing looks like its kinking, I think 90° fittings or a rad with threads on the top would've been better

Yea that bugged me from day one. it was the best i could do with what i had at the time. If you go to my pictures now, I have put everything in a Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935. This case is AMAZINGLY HUGE. The mini ITX is great, and could hold so much. As of now it house's my PSU and a single 120mm radiator. I will get pictures of the messy bottom tomorrow. Great case. Again it is F ing HUGE!!!!!!
