I think I might have to make a external enclouse for this to sit on top of the case... Unless I mount it in front... But then i loose all my 3.5 bays.. Based on your measurements I wont fit this thing up top.. Unless there is more then a 2 inch gap between the PS and the top of the case, so it over laps a inch.

I really need the case in my hands to do some measurements.. I am just to excited i guess lol...

I wouldnt mind doing a little external enclosure that mounts on top of the case.. This will get the freshest cool air going thru the rad...

But mounting it in the case make it nice and compact. Not that I have to move the case around or anything, so i guess it dont friggin matter...

ah just rambleing... later

Laf, here's a better solution, tell her the truth so she doesn't come with you next time, hehe. I tell my gf bedtime stories about building and modding, she falls asleep within a min literally, laf. She asks me to tell her about them when she can't sleep too, :smileysex :smileysex
