What is in setup ? And what case do you have ?
The setup is as follows: (I need to fit all this stuff, but post pics of any external enclosure)
Eheim HPPS Plus (maybe another pump or two)
BIX 2 with Sunon fans 38mm deep
Possibly another rad/heatercore
Resevoir
CPU block
PSU (for the pump)
LCD
Currently, I have everything in my Stacker, but I'll be getting this case:

Maybe I should put everything in that case, in the hdd side? I really can't decide :brick:

That`s some huge case. IMO put everything in HD side. No need to waste money on something else.
P.S. how much does this case costs and where you going to buy it ? (plz reply in PM)

I saw this on HardOCP. Its an Xbox 360 w/ an external watercooler. They used an Coleman space heater and stripped out the insides. Very good idea and a perfect fit. Seems almost the same size for what you would need. Or just adapt that plan to a bigger space heater.....

My $125 ghetto external setup (For some reason I love the disarray look). The MD-20(free from work) and entire cooler cost about $50 after I used misc parts around the house.(light dimmer, old plexi pieces, cord, etc) Damn MP05 SP LE CPU block cost a time and a half all the rest of the components. Dual Opteron 165 at 2750Mhz with 1.47v runs 36C load with 25C ambient I can live with it for the money I spent.
The MD-20 pump and T-Line just sit behind the cooler(not mounted) with air blowing over it(not pictured)
