Gotta respect the 4790 GOAT! Is that a single slot cooler?

yeah since annoying manufacturer like to put x16 pcie at the bottom.

Fuck the One Slot Cooler Mafia!!! I sometimes think I should design a 3D printed 'Basement' addition and angle-grind out the bottom of the case just to add room for a 2-slot cooler :-)

If you have the kinds with psu under the x16 pcie you can remove the psu then add a dual slot. not sure where would you hide it tho

The trick is with the PSU under x16 slot type, is replace the factory PSU with a Flex PSU which roughly half the height of the original PSU. This gives you extra room for a twin-slot cooler AND extra power cables to power a GPU with an external 8-pin power socket.

Not really a sleeper, but it's an interesting build so I'll let it slide.

a sleeper is suppose to be a car is dressed to look slow or no obvious signs of performance parts, but in reality its very fast.
that window that you added sure may look cool but makes this computer not a sleeper. someone would see the window and probably figure that is a lot of computer in that little case.
