K right now got a P180 and dont want to mess with cutting it with plastic and all. So I have looked around and found some cases that I can get a trip rad into. First is the Lian Li PC-V2000BPLUSII Black. I think theres room on top to put a PA120.3. Next is Silverstone Temjin TJ07-B or the Silverstone Temjin TJ10-B. Also the LIAN LI PC-70 looks great for a rad up top but A little hard to find. So what I want to know is which will be the best at housing a triple rad preferably on the top of the case. I only want to spend around $300 so mountain mod stuff is out and want to keep tower style. If you have any other cases that do this well would love to hear them.

+1 Silverstone Temjin TJ07....I have a lian li v2000b and you have to make some holes for airflow...with the TJ07 you dont have to...

Dremel + Stacker STC-T01 works fine on top.

Actually, if you don't mind having just one video port available, I found you can hold one off the back 120mm fan mount and have the outlets already going to the interior. It ended up looking quite clean because all you saw outside was just an extra black bar, which actually looked nice... all the tubing and pump stayed internal and let me get way with some *very* short tube lengths and convenient tubing. The down side was, unfortunately, that it covers the leftmost video port... how much that matters then will depend on whether you have a second monitor.

Stacker T01. Mount the PSU up top, and dremel out a larger hole on the bottom.

Or you can use a nibbler. But your hands will cramp.

It should look something like this:

That would be the easiest mod. Or you can geta TJ-07 and not mod it. But you'll need to get a drive bay. You'll lose all your hard drive bays at the bottom. I wish i had my pictures of my old TJ-07 b4 i sold it.

the stacker 810 does make me intreseted. Its only $150 at one shop here. The main thing that limits me is I really only want to grab stuff from local shop. http://www.ncix.com/ (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=104)
I dont have a problem cutting up a case if it will be better in the end got a dremel and other tools. Yea the losing drive bays is whats turning me off the TJ07. I like dual chamber designs. So would a triple rad fit in the PC V2000 at the top okay. Im find losing some 5.25 spots and the bottom of mobo if it comes to it. Main thing is having that gap between mobo and rad. Like the G70 which NCIX does not sell :mad: it has a nice big gap.

If you need convincing, take a look @ the Stacker Slacker thread in Cases, its the only sticky so you can't miss it. There are 10+ pages of Stacker pics and information starting with mine.
