New to watercooling!

[Ozric17]

Hi
My 1st post here at your forums got directed here from a member at the EVGA board. There seems to be alot of knowledge here!
I am planning on building my 1st ever water cooled system. I have dabbled with oveclocking on air and heat is now restricting me along with my old case.

I have ordered mostly swiftec kit along with the MCR220-QP Radiator.
I was wondering is it ok to mount this radiator internally i know it comes with a bracket that you can mount outside the case.

And can anyone point me in the right direction of a descent case to start, with plenty of room and won't require much modding to fit everything inside.

Thx

A great case that any suggestions for a slightly tighter budget. Need to tighten the purse strings a little now after the outlay on the rest of the componants.
Around the £120--$200 mark would be good i am in the uk

Oh wow. That's a pity. You're in the home of the best rad but you've bought a rad from the states not quite as good.
If you're not commited yet see if you can get a Thermochill rad.
Lian-LiPC-A10 is a nice one. Room enough for a PA120.3 ibeside the psu.
Pre-drilled holes for tubing etc

There is a link in my sig for the Stacker thead, with numerous Stacker 810/T01 and 830 pics as well as a number of water cooling configurations.

So if you have not been there yet, then browse the pages.

I just recently added pics of my work on progress.

Welcome to the Asylum, and check your sanity @ the door.

+1 for Stacker due to ease of use and modding, but personally I hate the looks of the things. I'd much prefer a TJ-07 or -09, but both will require some modding to fit in a watercooling loop.

The larger Lian-Li's are also great cases for watercooling.

Lian Li's are not cheap.

Yes, but maybe he can find one second-hand or something. It was just a general comment, yeesh...

OK I kind of think i am gonna have to strech the bank balance again for my case. I do like the look of some of the lian li's. Is one of these going to see me right? Lian-Li PC V2000B.
Thanks for the help again!
