Quick notes:

The DG-77 received some pretty middling to negative reviews across youtube, including some well deserved criticisms for lack of space to mount a top radiator, and the ugly advertising on the glass panel, but if you are building a system such as this with an AIO loop I think these are non-issues/fixable.

Although it's not present in the recording, we added another two fans to the radiator for push/pull configuration as you can see in the final build @ 08:33. We also added another two 120mm fans for a total of 4 exhausts (3 top, 1 rear). If you are planning a build with this case I suggest to add the extra fans and not run in stock configuration as it greatly helps with airflow. I also bought the front glass panel forward a couple of millimeters with some rubber screw washers.

The vertical GPU mount is well placed, not too close to the glass panel giving room to fit even a huge RX Vega64!

No rubber grommets on this case, but this didn't matter one bit, since the backtray was rounded off removing sharp edges and leaving plenty of room to cable manage.

All in all very pleased with this build, booted first time without problems, everything running at good temps).
