Hey everyone, I want to replace my Swiftech P180 case. I am currently cooling my CPU and 2xGPUs (8800GTXs), so I'm running 360mm in radiators. Using the one built into the case, and a 2U on the "back".
It's bulky, the hose layout is terrible and I have little to no room to maneuver. God forbid I have to perform maintenance on this system.
So, I've been doing some research, and it appears the Mountain Mod U2-UFO is probably the best "solution" for a case replacement. Would everyone agree?
If so, are there any pictures of 360-480mm setups using the U2-UFO, or any other cases I should consider?
I want something where I won't have to do any drilling or cutting of metal.
Thanks!

A new Ascension model will soon be released by BEN @ MM...
Front panel will be cut for (2) 480mm Rads, with 5 bay optical drive

My system is a software dev system; I need the current 3x120mm radiators I have, but wouldn't complain if I have 4x120mm (would lower temp even more). However I don't need 8x120mm.
Will their current U2-UFO give me what I need for 4x120mm radiators, all internal?

It's A great box, but it depends on what you mean by 4x120 is that all in one radiator 120.4
I know the U2-UFO supports a 120.3, 120.2 and 120.1 in the box plus you could get a custom side panal and get another 120.2 in there ....
or the Duality could do 2 x 120.3 , 1 x 120.2 and if you get the custom side you could pop in another 120.2
Plus with some custom work there is a lot of different configs..

Well right now, with my Swiftech P180, I have the "default" 1x120mm radiator that came with the case that is for the CPU. I purchased another radiator (2x120) that's mounted on the back of the case. The tubes run outside of the box through the back card ports so that all radiators are working together to cool both the CPU and my 2xVideo cards.
Since I'm going to be purchasing all new components for my U2-UFO, I just need to know that I can have the equivalent 3x120mm cooling (or 4x120) through the proper choice of equipment.
So based on what you've said, I could throw a 2x120 and another 2x120 in the U2-UFO perfectly fine (along with pump and reservoir and have tons of room), correct?
