Moving from the Antec 900 watercooled to HAF922

The Antec 900 served me awesome for 2 years now from air to water...time to make a new build...I found the HAF922 an awesome case for it, here are some pics testings how to build while i wait for some nice stuff from frozencpu, will change the front fan for a blue one, a new radbox, cold cathod, temp sensor for water and some more fesser tubing

With the rad at the back, how will you plug in those bulky DVI cables?

I have a HAF922 as well, but ended up using a dual rad mounted at the top on the inside.

So what size rad did fir up top and were the fans inside or outside.

Only a MCR220, have some 25mm fans pushing inside, and another pair pulling on the outside.

I had to dremel the one fan a bit due to 8-pin power connector clearance, but it fits!

I was thinking of adding another MCR220 (I like that they are quite thin) at the bottom, by removing a drive bay (or 2). Obviously, those would only have a single set of fans on them.

i did the same with my Antec 900 and there's plenty of space and more in the HAF922 using the radbox look at the antec pics

also i dont like rad inside the case as in my country temps are high and will be cooling with hot air, of course this is my opinion and what i tested

and the fat boys pushing air :D
