Case with the front taken off:
As you can see, i had to put the drives on the near end, else it would get very messy with the ide cables and such....

Here you have the radiator, it fits in perfectly! At first i thought i had too mod the case and fix the rad on the back, but i could just fit it in and fixed it to the back with 2 tie-wraps hehe (dont look at my 1337 fanshroud btw, im getting a danger den thing :D

Next, you see the hoses go over the top of the motherboard plate...

Tadaa, here's the mobo , you can see the hoses go into the bucket where the eheim is at :)

What do you think? I'll update the thread once i have new stuff in it :)

[Firelord-OCHW]

Nice :D Why don't you get an internal res now??

YY Cubes and PC70s are watercooling heaven for watercooling systems!! :D

[DeBastaard]

I'm looking for wich internal reservoir i want, and how and where i'm going to attach it :)

Any ideas? :D

Was thinking of this one:

But HOW do i fix that too my case?

[Firelord-OCHW]

Prob some screw holes in the back that if you drill them out you could attach directly or some industrial strength velcro tape :D

Which res is that?? How bout bayres??

[DeBastaard]

maybe i'll go with the Innovatek reservoir ... not sure :p

Bay res? well, the Bays are on the other side of the case wich is pretty much filled up already....

The one on the pic is the Noise Isolator Waterreservoir ... not sure if it's available in the US as well , but it sure is in holland ;)

[FishaOfMen]

Very nice case. I'd love to have something like that instead of having to cram everything in my Cheiftec Mid-tower. Just a couple questions:

* What water block is that on your CPU?
* Is that fan really shrouded from the radiator? It looks like it's flush with the rad or really close to it.

[DeBastaard]

well, heh the fan isnt shrouded, it's just taped on to the radiator *lol*.

It's the block from AquaComputer, a german manufacturer...

This is the fanshroud i'm talking about btw :)

I don't know about that fan shroud from Danger Den. It may have already been discussed on these boards, but this is the first time I've ever seen it. It looks like the acrylic is flush with the face of the core, which will make for a lot of dead spots. Furthermore, the 3/4" displacement of the fan from the rad isn't much at all. The displacement on the DTek shroud is 1-3/8". If I were you, I'd get a piece of sheet metal and make a shroud. Given the size of your radiator, you might even be able to get two 120mm's on it.

[DeBastaard]

Well, i tried, but 1 120mm is the max, i could maybe get 2 yes, but that would increase the space the rad+fans would be taking :D

4 80mm's on the other hand, fit perfectly ... :)


Hmm, that D-Tek shroud is much more like it yes :) Maybe i can fix something like that myself :D

That is ONE ghetto watercooling rig, if I do say so myself.

[DeBastaard]

Thank you :D

I Have some metal plate laying around, the stuff where they fix car body's with .... i think i could cut it, and then weld it into a nice shape :)

[Detract]

I got myself the same cube today. I really like the extra room I've got for my water cooling. I need to do a bit of modding to fit the heatercore to the top and a window on the motherboard side. As a matter of interest, do you have trouble opening the door? Mine seems to get stuck and is a hassle to open.

[DeBastaard]

yeah, that door isnt all that good :(
i thought it would 'jump' open when pressing it, like the normal doors from chieftec or something. This one i have to press, and it "unlocks" just enough to grab it, and open it ...

[Detract]

I know what you mean, I was hoping that it would it pop out with the spring clip it has. Rather I have to pull from the grills, I might file back one edge to see if it helps.

[DeBastaard]

let me know if it works :)

[Karnivore]

Nice start on your H2O rig, I'm going to get me a cube someday, lol, if you like the innova res gander at THESE (http://www.criticool.com/7accessories.html) looks somewhat the same, but much better price...

[DeBastaard]

Damn, the EU Site isnt working :(

Nice reservoir though :)

[Tedinde]

I used to have a YY case 3 years ago. Man you could put anything in there.

[DeBastaard]

Yeah :)

When i get my new card this week, and my reservoir i'll have to drill out that small rack in the front of the case :) Then i can make a nice window etc. :)
