About the chassis mods for the Aventum II

Hello there you wonderful enthusiast , I've been looking around for the best PC market and I've taken a like to what I'm seeing so I decided to ask some question for feedback.

For my future (after 3-4 years) build I decided to go with the Aventum II.

Budget:
[12K , could be higher if I'm to wait, up to 14K]

Expectations:
[Planning to go with 3 way SLI for 1440p monitors running games like Planetside 2 , Far Cry 3 and Skyrim , hopefully I'll have my way with that If I'm going Nvidia Surround]

I'm also expecting excellent cooling so I'd go for the highest liquid cooling option available.

Usage:
[I do heavy video editing work and audio , I considered adding lots of harddrive but I'm waiting for prices to get lower for the SSD, I decided to go with 2x 4TB WD Blacks .

a little bit of 3D showcasing module but not extensive enough to go for something like a high end workstation graphical unit.

Audio wise if I'm going with the ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard then I don't need to go for an audio card.]


Special Needs:
[I want this future PC to last , really last, I'm an enthusiast with love for technology and having a PC that doesn't let it itself feel outdated would be great ]

Hi Ginster.... like you kinda figured, you don't need the Chassis Mod.   Not sure they would even do it with Aventum. Some config selections are generic across the various platforms.

Looks great and good luck.

Thanks dude , I'm interested in the possibility of the "Hailstorm II: Bottom Baseplate Mod (Cleaner Wiring Look & DS Logo Branding" but apparently they tagged it as something for the Hailstorm II.

I'm not sure if that means they can actually do that to the Aventum II , if they did then I'll go for it .

Can I apply that really exquisite rainbow finish that is shown as a thumbnail for the custom paint job ? and how much it'll cost me ?

Whats the difference between the H20: HydroLux Copper: Digital Storm Copper Pipe and the LV5 liquid cooling ?

Will I have control over every fan on the entire PC with the Digital Storm Thermal Management Control Board ?

How strong is the packaging ? The thing is if I buy a PC from the U.S I'd have to first send it to a warehouse for organizing packages that deals with shipping and THEN tell the warehouse company to send it to my home address which in Saudi Arabia .

So I'm little worried about bad packaging and protection , if something happened to my PC (i.e some parts went loose) while the warehouse inspect it , What should I do ?.

If something happened between the point of the warehouse and my home (being shipped to where I am) what is my insurance ? The warehouse do have insurance covering if I so desire to choose it and it can cost a lot based on the package value , question is should I go for it just to be safe ? or there is no need because of how Digital Storm policy work.

Finally : Is there anything I should know regarding where I live just to take caution ? Is there anything I could get an advantage of ?

But I thought that by choosing copper there is a very unlikely chance it will leak let alone high cooling :o

But alas , thank you for your response bprat22
