If i am not mistaken you would like to game on your pc..(you bought gaming series PSU, unlocked proccy..) but I dont see a graphics card..I hope you have one in store...
Waiting for more pics and un-boxing/walk-through videos

Thanks sabya !
Yep ! I saw your build few weeks a ago and it's a Monster Rig.

I also saw the links u have posted last week and they are very informative.

No, my rig is for professional use (Architectural Visualization); I liked LEDs of the GS 600; i7 2600K bought for to take an advantage of multi-threaded apps and to get maximum output from an unlocked proccy. Professional GPU's (Nvidia Quadro Series) prices are currently over-budget for me but I will buy it (or say THEM for SLI ) few months later.

Will post new pics for sure.

I will review my cabby - NZXT Source 210 Elite - in couple of days; b'cause I found very strange results from it especially in fan setup, so stay tune.

One mistake: you have connected both the sata cables in the SATA III plugs.
Put them into SATA II plugs.

 

[pcforumguy]

HDD is SATA III and second one is optical drive.

 

[d6bmg]

For the shake of better cable management, re-route 12V EPS cable at the back side of the chassis.

HDD is SATA III and second one is optical drive.

Ok. then plug the cable used for optical drive in the SATA II plug.

Another vital mistake: positioning of PSU should be revarse. (i.e. PSU fan should be inside the chissis.
Your present mount is for top mounted PSU.

 

[pcforumguy]

I try to re-route 12V cable around the back of mobo tray but there is not enough space for it at the left top corner. I even uninstalled 140mm fan for it but no chance.

NZXT 210 has fan ventilation space under the PSU area. (see last image with blue light)

Hey Guys,
I have made some modifications with my cabinet for better airflow !
Any suggestions ?

Yes believe on it - I have made a cut on the front bezel (of the brand new cabinet ) for letting more air into the cabinet through front two 120mm fans.
And installed home made fan filter - mosquito net (actually just stick it with cello tape).

*i49.tinypic.com/192quv.jpg

On to the top, just filtered top-front mesh with the filter.

*i49.tinypic.com/1z3xawk.jpg

To the bottom of the PSU, installed the filter and upfront blocked with plastic wrapper.

*i49.tinypic.com/2d9sh6w.jpg

Close up shot for better understanding of home made filter.
As I say earlier it's a mosquito net; but it's not that stiff, so anyone can hang it within filter hooks. So, I stiffen it's edges with Fevicol and then hang it in the place. Well I have learned lots of out-of-the-world innovative ideas from TDF guys

*i48.tinypic.com/i55evd.jpg

For more better dust management, I have installed another filter (home made ) in between front bezel and fan grill.
If I want to remove this filter in future for cleaning or for extra airflow, I have made some weird frame with hard plastic; so I can remove it easily.
What I have done is - mosquito net + fevicol = then stapled it on edges.

*i46.tinypic.com/2j47xxx.jpg

Here is close up shot.

*i49.tinypic.com/308ayit.jpg

And finally I blocked side mesh panel with same plastic wrapper, for better airflow within cabby.
Yes, anyone can say, don't block it for passive air cooling for GPU or Chipset. But as you can see I don't have GPU (yet), so I don't mind to block side panel for Front to Back Airflow.

Cheers !

why use cellotape? its not look good.
buy a good double sided tape especially black color..

Thanks for advice ! I will try it and will post new shots.
Actually I did't know such kind of tape does exist. I even try to make double sided tape with regular cello tape by bending the edges of it.

 

[IndianRambo]

try at stationary shops..

your cabinets look cool but if you are installing a graphics card,the present routing of the 8 pin additional atx cable willnot do

 

[rajnusker]

Good purchase

I have tried almost every route to fix this issue but I didn't find any other route. If you have any suggestion please share it with us !
BTW check out NZXT Source 210 Elite Review for what I have concluded about the case.

Good purchase

Thanks guys !

After rajesh.s suggestion I bought Double Sided Tape (but sadly it's not Black ), I modified or say reapplied Home Made Fan Filters with mosquito net -
