Thanks for the explanation.

 

I started receiving parts and began putting them together. The two things that worries me the most are the clearance for AIO cooler and RAM.

The Z53 AIO that I have is quite thick with 52.4mm water block height and 30mm radiator height. I did a test fit and was able to stuck that in between the PSU holder and case. The side touching PSU holder cannot fit with protruding screws, so I left that unscrewed. I'm still looking into ways to secure the AIO cooler similar to yours.

I was able to close the top panel without cutting the extra plastics for included fans, but I might remove them purely for aesthetics. 

 

Once my motherboard arrives, I will report further results later.

 

 

Good day! Sorry for asking but I was just curious about your build. We have the same aio and I was also planning on doing this mod. Did you get around finishing it? Did the z53 fit inside the case? Hoping to get a response from you. Thanks!

Good day. I also have the Z53 as my AIO, so I'm definitely looking forward for your update. Wishing you all the best!
