preliminary 360rad mounting..
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/ozcity/360rad.jpg
removed the mounting bracket so that the rad can get more air from the side vent...

*drools over case* ... I'm going to have to get one of these for my next build.
Subscribed. Keep Going!!!
Nice modded top - looking forward to some more updates :up:
Can't wait to see more progress! Keep it up! What CPU block is that?
I really like this case. Where can you buy the bigger version?
Nice :up:
is that an MCR360?
what clearance do you have under the front cover?
Is this a fairly quiet case?
Which radiator are you using, it looks like it's for 140mm fans :confused:
its an alphacool nexxos 360...
@logic...its for 3x120mm fan
b@lzor ..about 15mm gap between the front panel and rad fins
sweet... that should be enough for airflow... I was looking at radiator options for this case and was considering cutting grill like slots in the front which would ruin the lookQuote:

Oh yea, I forgot to say rockin' build :p:

EDIT: Woa woa woa, a fellow Sydneysider! :welcome:
@emoners thanks........tpc is down..herherher
@b@llzor..the rad im using is 30mm thick with the bracket on...if you can see ive removed the bracket to give more air to the rad fins coming from the side vent..removing the bracket gives me an additional 4-5mm
there is another rad which had only 25mm thick..which is to thin for my application...
migth get my bp fittings tomorow....
@logic..thanks mate
@zoz: yup paps, doing maintenance yata.
lookin' great so far :up:
What tubing you using with the 7/16" BP comps? masterkleer?!?
thanks
this project is looking beautiful so far, I can't wait for more pics!

Yes looking good dude. Hope the leak testing goes without incident.
very neat job of it all man. A++ :up:
I love this build! Not to mention, I love the case. It is my favorite one I own, for now...
Looks awesome !!!!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35.../leaktest1.jpg

Looking good... i love the look of the case....
Awesome looking case! what is the price range in europe?
im almost there...
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35.../DSC01336v.jpg
since i can only use 2xHDD at the top cage...i manage to sqeeze another HDD behind the PSU...probably 1TB of space...
from a scratch aluminum plate
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/ozcity/plate.jpg

I'm still staring at the hdd mount. It looks so good. Great skills!
twwen2...i cant answer your question yet...since i havent tested the machine yet for temperature reading....i am thinking of mounting a 2000rpm kaze jhun slim(100mm fan) on the top part of the 360 (push setup)..but i still dont know if it helps though...
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35...y/DSC01332.jpg
@zoz: pre what's that green fan? & was the case black in the interior when you got it or you painted it?
Awesome clean set-up, good job!
@emoners....the fan is nanoxia...and yes the x500 goes in black internals as well...no painting was done except the noctua fan frame..:)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35...y/DSC_2208.jpg
question:
Can a 120 TFC Xchanger handle a 2 x gtx280??..im targeting less 50c for the GPU only...i think
less than 50c is just fine with the 280 on water.... since my 9800gtx runs at 60c idle on air..
still waiting for my perspex
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35...y/DSC01134.jpg
Nice looking imo :)
Great!

im only using 2 anemic noctua P12(1300rpm) on a 360 slim rad running on 100% distilled water..
go get some nice pics for MDPC :D
Fantastic. Simply fantastic. I want that case now and I usually have no desire to buy a new case.

What sleeving is that??
its this new stuff they call "green wire" :confused: :rofl:
WTF... !!!!!!!!!! thatssss sickkk................

Well it has a special look over it :)
I like it :D
Yes! Something other than black sleeving! Great stuff, looks absolutely awesome!
green spaghetti! :rofl: great job, i do like the way those nanoxia fans look
That looks fantastic.
The wiring looks awesome. Gives a good accent to all the black. Very nice :up:
i like how different it looks! :up:
sub'd
the wiring looks absolutely fantastic! great idea :up:
I have to agree with everyone...Sweeeeet
very nice build :D
Can you show us the power supply after you switched the wires? I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine but not really sure how to go about it.
gorgeous, but want more pics! :cool:
and that, i've never seen anyone do this beforeQuote:

I am a big noob, what other tools did you use to make the HDD bay besides a nibbler?
thats one sexy case o.o, and that green and black look is really nice :D
