I felt like making a change after rocking Thermaltake's CTE T500 case for awhile so I ordered the ROG Hyperion off Amazon. It came in its enormous box covered in workplace warning stickers because of its weight. The label said it was shipped freight, which gives some idea of how overbuilt this thing is
I was impressed with the aesthetics but the airflow wasn't great – especially considering that for a full tower case it doesn't have that many fan mounts imo. I finally decided to return it, but Amazon offered a $200 credit just to keep it (I can only assume because the damn thing takes up half a warehouse shelf and every stage of it's transport risks a workers comp injury lol)
So, plied with a discount, I decided to see if I could rig up the rest of my unused 140mm fans in it and brute force some better airflow. Now I have 8 140mm's and 3 120mm's, and it's roughly on par with my old case temps so I'm much happier now.
Is it excessive? Yes! Is it a great value? Absolutely not! Does it look really cool? I gotta say, yes.

Hello pieisgiood876, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
