How would i go about cutting that out.. for a rad grill same as above pic?
Also where can i get a black 120 rad grill?
cheers fellaz thanks in advance for the input!
Anyone?
Hey m8!
I think you either want to have the rad up there on top of the case or have the little 120mm rad hooked in the back of the case. You make 2 holes for the tubing using a 1" hole saw and your good to go!
When you can't have everything internal, external is the way to go. It still is going to be more easy to mount the rad back there and make 2 small holes instead of one big on top of the case, right?
Put the fan on the outside of the case and the rad on the inside, screw through the fan holes of the case, should hold the two together and give you about 25 more mm to work with
Doesn't really work. There's a recess the fan mounts in.Quote:

I've lost track of where all your bits are. Have to look back a bit before suggesting anything.
Yeah I see, he wouldn't be able to put on his case door.. hmm...Quote:

Well, it can be done. Thats why I mentioned liberal amounts of tube. You need the rad loop sections long enough to lift the panel out and sideways. I did it with a V1000 and MCR220.Quote:

Think you might be right about a hole though.
PC Case Gear have AC Ryan Rad Grills here.
DisruptFarm, what motherboard is that? Is that a dual socket mobo?
Maybe, towards the front in the top. In the top 5 1/4 bay?
That wasn't his build... he was using it as an example.Quote:

Any info on the procedure of cutting my case to accomadate the rad??
I will use my jigsaw for the cut...but i mean what will use to sketch out the hole??? rad grill?
cheers guys
If you have the radgrill, use it for the outline but then you will probably see the edge thru the grill. The best way would be to outline the contour, offset 1/8" outward and cut there. When the grill is installed, you will not see the edge unless you see from a certain angle.
I used the grill to mark out my cuts after laying masking tape over the area. Then neatened up with a 6" half round bastard file.
Gotta strip all the electronics from the case though. Al dust and swarf can do some real damage.
Cover the whole top with tape and measure out everything in pencil. Measure twice cut once.
cheers fellaz i ordered a fan grill...
Will cut when i get it probably next week sometime...
Damn i would of liked to cut into my case on the w/e... :(
You can do this without a fan grill if you get the exact measures for the radiator. Thermochill provided a pdf with all the measures you need and that's the way I'm going to do since I will not order a grill before a few weeks (not a lot of money, thank you xmas shopping and I'm waiting for welshtom to do a special project to save on shipping).Quote:

Just the fan holes is 105mm between centers so it's a easy way to start off then cut arond.
How about fan-case-rad? seems like there are enough room for the tubing below the fan...
I dont understand what you mean rad outside the case???Quote:
