I am building a Conroe rig when Conroe becomes buyable in Norway ;)

And its not to long now if dates of retailers hold. So its time to plan the new rig.

X1900XT and E6400

It is very possible that I will upgrade to DX10 and a faster Conroe afterwords so I want the loop to handle those well to.

The loop will consist of Storm,MCW60,MCP655,Swiftech tank a simple one, and then the big Q BIX3 or BIX2?

Ive been thinking about using this case.

The rad will be mounted in the roof of the case. But the drawback with the case is that it is made for people who have their computer on left side and not right. Left side for me is not an option. But the Q here is, is there any other cases witch is made for right side and does have the same "layout" inside as this one?

Thanks in advance :)

BIX3 or BIX2? Neither get an MCR220/320 either is fine depends on how much space you have to mount. As for your case issue, lets just wait for more replies :D

This is the site that has the most Radiators in Norway.

Cooltech

I cant find any stores in Norway with Thermochill or Swiftech radiators. And I am not buying it from any other countrys because that would make its a lot more expensive.

Cooltek rads look very similar to MCR220-MCR320

I recall that someone said they were quite good.

Cooltek ARE Swiftech rads - same chinese manufacturer. Go for those if you cant afford a PA, and triple all the way if it fits :)

Cool thanks. :) I am planing on tripple this time ;)

But I wonder how much better does the Cooltack 3*120 perform than the BIX3?

And I still wonder about the case, I have a stacker now but and could go for one again but its so big and I dont have need of that. So is there any cases out there with PSU at the bottom that is not for those who have their computer on the left side of the desk? There is a link in my first post of a case that is super but it is for left side :p:

Depends on the fans, but Cooltek/Swiftech are basically as good as Black Ice GT (and cheaper).
