My First H2O mod

[gvblake22]

If you've got that much room at the bottom of the case, seems like you should be able to move the PSU down to the bottom and put the rad at the top, no?

I had the rad at the top when I had my PC in a case, and it was fine... it will take some modding though, but I had a worklog about it, maybe you can learn from my mistakes...

EDIT: URL for worklog is: Case Modding Worklog

Yellow I don't think he has enough space at the top to put his.

I was thinking about the back side panel but there's not enough space. The other one would be bothering. It's up to him though I guess.

Yeah, I think Hal here will have to have the rad externally... Hanging off the back like RAID did...

alright guys since i'm using the lappy of my wife, just an update i mutilated my case to a junk. i might post some pix as soon as i finish the main rig. and yes i'm mounting it in the back since the bottom is so mutilated i dont think is wise now to put anything to it...

later...

alright heres some pix,

first i had a bad tuesday with my power tools guro, i mutilated my CM mystique beyond my capability to repair it:



so i pulled out my old CM Ammo drag my paint spray and fire away:





then the HDD rack was removed and the HDD was placed to 5.25 bay:



after that bleeding time :



it was a success but since the darn rad box was in the way i have to partially mutilate my CM ammo at the sidepanel :



after all the hard work and shortcuts here is the result with no OC yet:



is this temps expected of my loop:

Rad>Pump>CPU>GPU>Reservoir>Rad ???

i enjoyed this... oh the CM Mystique will be repaired until i conviced my friend to use his power tools and he do it himself so we can replace the bottom part that i mutilated with a new piece of Aluminum...

here some more:

Nice man! But I think you should have a little lower temps... maybe because of the GPU in the loop. Also you should have the rad before the res in the loop like this:

pump>CPU>GPU>Rad>res>pump

...but if it's working for you fine then it's OK keep it that way it is.

And more pics of the interior please!
