no, it is not big enough. the e-atx is 12x13, versus atx 12x9.6.
to fit a skulltrail/tyan you need a g70/a70, a mountainmods, or a tj0x case. im sure there are others, I wont list them all though

Another fantastic build :up:
How about Lian 343B??Quote:

After staring at this case for what seemed like an eternity, I finally came to some conclusions.
I decided to mod the case to support my WC build, and add a couple nice features for cleanliness/simplicity:

Naked case, just for reference

Drive cage mod: original drive mounting on bottom, my new position on top. This keeps the drive away from the radiator/fan assembly, and allows me to hide the wires a lot more cleanly

Fill/bleed ports
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_006.jpg
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_007.jpg
Cut an extra 1/2" from the door hangar locations which allows the doors to be removed without taking them off the hinges (why oh why this wasn't done like this stock?)
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_008.jpg
Drain ports
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_009.jpg
Installed studs for pump mounting - allows for easy pump removal/maintenance. No need to remove motherboard just to get to the pump
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_010.jpg
See how it works? Bingo!
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_011.jpg
Hole cut for reservoir return lines
http://www.brimbo.com/temp/mozartbui...ermods_012.jpg
Another hole for SATA data + power
Next up: radiator/fan assembly test fitting!
Thank you to those complimenting the build. Another thanks to those using my build log to discuss motherboard compatibility :clap: LOL KIDDING! :up:
nice job so far :up: Subscribed.
Nice to see you mounted the one on the MoBo tray you did. I'd have a bad feeling if it were the other way, too easy for rouge air to get trapped in the pump the other way.
As for EATX cases, I'm fairly certain (like 99.92615% certain) the YY-0221 will accommodate such a large board, at least that's the impression I get from mine. :D
Ya, it would be great if the side door can take off easily, i will check your mod method when i got home
BTW, are there any buy/sell category ?
Looks very good so far, i will be taking notes because i plan on getting this case and modding it for a dual loop wc setup.
Just a couple of questions i would like to ask.
How easy was it to remove the doors ? Im getting the full Alu side panel version and i will need to remove the doors so that they can be painted.
Are the feet removable ? If so what is the total height of the case without the feet. I have 72cm of space under my tabletop that i would ideally like to slide the case underneath. If not i will have to mod my desk abit.
To remove the panel, you just need to remove the front panel. It is not difficult.Quote:

Height is 27.5 inch without feet or 72.2cm with feet. May be u can make it with feet as well
I have 2 rad on back external, now planning the third loop, its not ez tho
Yea im planning 2 loops and 2 PA120.2s on the back 1 for cpu/chipset and other for gfx.
Thanks for the info should come in handy when i can finally get the case in about a months time when its in stock ( really hard to find the non window version in the uk )
I will get the Non window if i can make the choice again. I want complete silence, with the see thru window, i cant install the noise foam.Quote:

Thats the plan i have in mind. Im going for the non window version and installing a bucket load of noise reducing foam. Having 2 Loops with 2xPA120.2 mounted on the back and repainting the outside of the case.

I mean seriously you can hear this thing seeking in the other room. When I add 3 more (RAID 1+0) it will be absolutely ridiculous! :rofl:
b) Fans at full blast. At 1500 RPM, it sounds like an air conditioner, but you can play at 2560x1600 with upwards of 100fps in most modern games. At about 800 RPM, the rig is rather quiet and cooling is sufficient for most tasks.
I decided early on I am going for pure performance with this build so I don't care how loud it is. My work machine, on the other hand is very quiet since it runs 24/7 and runs my home theater as well ...
When you have the fans turned down you can hear the pumps humming along :p: I never would have guessed 20 years ago I'd be building a water-cooled computer??? Sometimes I have to laugh at how far things have come - I mean there are 2 water pumps in my Pee Cee! :eek:
Hey!
I really like this Mozart case of yours! I'm looking forward to follow this build :up:
About the annoying sound from the Raptors!
I bought a mCubed "vertical silence" hhd cooler/enclosure box for my Raptor, and It's quite good.
It's doing a fare job with the sound, but you need to have
a fan nearby pushing fresh air over the heat sinks, since the
Raptor gets hot inside the box.
But I really like how it changed the overall sound in my silent system. :)

Not sure why everyone complaining about the raptor. i have the 150GB Raptor Enterprise and its practically silent, i have it in a 5.25 anti vibration adaptor
Well I suppose it all boils down to your tolerance for noise. Or how good/bad your hearing is :eek:Quote:

I guess you could put it in an enclosure and all that, but why bother? Just get a new WD 750Gb drive and it will be quiet with performance equal to or better than a Raptor :confused:
Allrighty tighty, here we are installing the radiator and fans in a push/pull configuration.
Just making sure everything is going to fit, before I do any wiring or plumbing ...

Initially I hooked up all 4 fans on the same channel for the upper rad. On the lower rad, I hooked up 2 fans on each controller channel.
I was considering the latter for finer fan control - in other words, you could run just 2 fans (on one half of the rad) for normal day-to-day stuff, then turn up the other side when you wanted to game.
I quickly decided that option had little utility, so I now have all 4 fans on each rad tied together.
Also, a single fan on each rad/fan assembly is plugged into a motherboard fan connector. This allows me to read the RPM for each loop.
I found that using 4 fans on a single channel as opposed to 2 fans on a single channel yields only about 50RPM difference, which further strengthened my opinion that 4 fans on each channel is the best solution.
Not to mention, it's much simpler to operate with only 2 channels instead of 4 :up:
I don't like the case but you're project is looking good :up:
I hate the HD noise the most cus the noise not in constant, H/L pitch, Long, Short, fast, slow. I put them in a watercooling closure. It's expensive but worth it for dead silence.Quote:
