Hi guys, I am planning on watercooling my pc, and i love the look of this case. i was wondering if it would work ok with water cooling or if i'd have to make a rad box.

I plan to watercool my cpu, gfx, ram, NB and possibly mosfets on 2 loops.

Now if it did fit it'd be a TIGHT squeeze, but could it be done with 1/2" tubing on 1 loop and 3/8" on the other loop, 2 pumps and 2 externally mounted rads.

Or could I buy 2 and turn 1 into a rad box?

Thanks

That 2 into 1 idea may work, but if you did one 3/8" with 2 120mm rads then it would all fit into the case

how about 7/16" tubing? The reason i want that is it is only for the gfx / cpu loop and that would give better performance. The other thing that im worried about it is if i put the pumps at the bottom of the case, i have to run the tubes up the side - might be a tight fit.

also i want a graphics block that will cool the ram too, would that fit into the case?

thanks

I think the case is to small for what you want to do, especially with 1/2 tubing since you cant bend it very well...too cases might work better, but its also more money.

*sniff* yeah you are probably right :( but it is such a nice case!

maybe you can opt for smaller diameter tubing.

It's a sweet case, but it's more cramped than a Twice7 - and a single 120 rad loop would be tight in that. You could mount things externally, but then, well...it wouldn't look like a cube anymore.

Do you have a picture of the case? Or perhaps a link?

Here you go. Pretty cool box, but also pretty cramped for a WC setup.
