I'm trying to figure out an easy way to mount the rad grill->fans->rad (from the top). I might have to cup screws with a dremel, because so far, haven't found any that will do the job. Included screws with the MCP320 are too short.

[Batiatus]

^ very interesting build.. it'd be nice see more photos

[Quad-Damage]

I just got a 800 D I'm loving it so far, got a killer deal on it. More Pictures of water setups Please.

Also i got it cheap due to the front door not closing all the way, where can I get a new door for cheap?

^^Very nice rig

[Mr_Mustang01gt]

What size Rad Grill will fit best on the top of the case? 120 mm x 3 or 140 x3?

[Church]

Mr_Mustang01gt: be careful with 140x3 rads on top of case. Few of them are rather wide and need additional cuts of 5.25 bay enclosure sidewalls to fit width-wise (eg. you can check 800D hardware canucks mod with HWLabs 3x140 GTX rad). 120x3 (no mods or grill needed) or 120x4 rads are better choice for 800D imho.

[Mr_Mustang01gt]

I should clarify,

I am looking to see which of these would fit cleaner on the outside of the top of the case.

360 Rad Grill

480 Rad Grill

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=28769

[Church]

I wouldn't buy 360 rad grill at all, as 800D already has 3x120 mounting holes/grill pre-cut in. As for what and how looks .. tastes differ a lot from person to person. There is nothing to suggest that will fit for everybody tastes.

[Mr_Mustang01gt]

I just prefer to have a flush or slightly raised top vs. a recessed one.
