| I just ordered some water cooling components (one of them a 2x120mm radiator) and I was wondering if anyone knew of a big, huge hulking case perfect for a Swiftech 2x120mm radiator. Mountain Mods comes to mind. I am not going to buy now, just wondering. Thanks.

| Silverstone TJ-07, CM Stacker (original), Gigabyte 3D Aurora... Alot of cases can fit a double radiator nicely. ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 | ||||||||||||||

| The Silverstone looks like a great option for water cooling (all the other do too, but I love the look of the Silverstone). you would mount the radiator on the bottom, by the hard drives, correct? I have an idea about modding my Lian Li PC-7B by cutting two 120mm fan holes at the top, and then mounting the radiator on the very top, outside of the case with the inlet and outlet from the radiator going straight down into the case. What do you think? Also, isn't the best place to mount the reservoir above the other water cooling components so that the bubbles automatically rise to it (thereby meaning you won't have to tilt your system to get all the bubbled out? Just some questions and ideas for me to worry about before the water cooling stuff comes.

| Ty, do you have a real case (not the tech bench) that you could show me some pics of a water cooling setup and the location of the rad, pump, res, etc. just so I get an idea when my w/c stuff comes?

| Has anybody sucessfully mounted a dual 120mm radiator (Swiftech MCR220) in the front of an Antec Nine Hundred? Without having to get the dremel out to make things fit of course... | ||||||||||||||

| i have some pictures of my Lian Li G70WB and my watercooling loop. i mounted my PA120.3 on top of the case like you describe, but when i get home im going to mod the entire top of the case so the radiator sits inside the case and is flush with the top. ![]() E8400 @ 4ghz (500x8 @ 1.35v) Gigabyte X38-DQ6 2x2GB G-Skill DDR2 1000 @ DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15 2.1v 2 Sapphire ATi Radeon HD3870 in Crossfire Seagate 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache HDD Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Silverstone DA750 Samsung Dual Layer DVD Burner Lian Li G70WB Thermochill PA120.3|Swiftech Storm Rev.2|Swiftech MCP 655 | ||||||||||||||
