Give me a few months and i should have a black v1000 kitted out without detroying the overall appearance of the case (ie. all water cooling parts will be inside case). No pics yet I'm affraid and I won't be releasing sketchs until i know it will all work :), sorry.
Im also deciding between a V1000 with a PA120.3 inside. Going to be tough to fit so im leaning towards a V2000 now.
dude, its tough to fit a BIP3 in a V2000
Is it hell. Fitting a triple rad in a v2xxx series case is simple! See http://www.over-clock.com/ivb/index.php?showtopic=14248

Cheers dude, sorry to jump thread afireinside.
Both is relatively pointless.Quote:

Ok so the PA160 would be up to the job with a low cfm fan.
Check the WC gallery (above)
I have a V2100 and is planning on mounting a PA120.3 on the outside above, when time is right I might open the top of the box up, but I'm not sure since the motherboard is upside down in this case and it might interfere with the cards, so I'm doubtful if it would be wise to lower it into the case, but having the case opened up wouldn't pose a greater problem I think. Basically, I think it would be pretty nice to open up the bottom of the case and have the radiator there, however far from optimal I guess, but there is enough room for sure ;)
Overall I'm extremely happy with the case, especially with the large nice compartment below where my enclosed HDDs now are sitting, and it is absolutly wonderful to fill with noise dampening materials.
Syranide.
read your post about a silent water setup. Im after exactly the same. Ive changed my mind on a few things thanks to your info u recieved.,
I plann to cut the bottom of the V2000 and mount the PA120.3 there.
I have a watercooled V1000B.
D5 pump > Storm G5 > BIP2 > Aquatube
Aquastream > BIP > Twinplex Pro NB > Twinplex GPU > Aquatube
I got pics somewhere... let me dig em up.
Looks nice marci :) V2000 is a bit large for my wants though. I was thinking about a BIP3/GT240 off the back with a rad box... Would that work?
Triple fits in the top of a PC-70 nicley

Click image for thread, you can do similar with PC-7.
The pa120.3 setup in a v2000 will outperform it - but mine looks better :p:
Looks nice unreal. I need 4 HDDs though :(
if you can go with full-tower then you can have 2 radiators or even 3 radiators inside one case, I'm talking about V2xxx Series and you can see the picture below, it still can hold up to 6 HDDs which only 4 HDDS shown in the picture

Mate any more pics with the rad installed on the roof, how tight is it with the fans also on the rad when
running the tubing.
It looks wicked just i think with a SLI setup it will be too tight? whats your thoughts mate as i see you running SLI.
