Thermochill 120.3 in CM-Stacker, possible?

[berserk]

I have a Thermochill 120.3 which is a 120 x 3 radiator and I was planning to build a box to put it under the CM-Stacker but I was thinking maybe I can either place it in the case or place it some where esle. Anyone with some suggestions?

well, placing it under the case would be no probelm, as all you would have to do is remove the wire that is screwed in there, so no major modifications required.

But the grill does not provide enough airflow for 3 x 120mm fans.

doesn't it fit on the top of the case?

I think the Thermochill 120.3 can be accomodated in the faceplate but that would prohibit the use of any CD/Hdd so that is not an option.
A friend of mine recently suggested that a 80.3 (or is it 80.2) can be accomodated in the metal grid at the bottom.
Since you already have the 120, the way I see it there are only 2 options and both of them require modding.
Either cut the upper PSU metal supporters, and open holes to place it to the top of the Stacker (that is not something I would do). Your best bet is to cut the bottom of the case, "enlarging" the metal grill to accomodate the 120.3.

I am building a box that goes under the stacker I'll post some pics when the box is ready, hopefully next weekend.

Np, thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking maybe I could enlarge it but I think the steel bottom is difficult to cut.
