    I did a google search for Antec 900 water cooling and it seems like a 2x120 is what everyone was putting in the front of the case.

    How many drive bays does the case have??

    It would take a minimum of 9 drive bays provided you had some extra room at the top.

    Ok so i went back and looked at the case and it appears you can put one in the front but not sure where you would have room for a CD drive or HD's

    It would be a very tight fit, because the MCR320 is 410mm, which is if my measurements are correct the height of the drivebays. You'll probably have about 5-10mm to spare.

    How much cutting you willing to do? I am about to put 2x320's in a 9 bay case

    - similar to this one: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...light=paraflow

    But as Major pointed out - no room left for drives.

    malik22: Probably will, and probably you gonna need two of them of course. I haven't heard of unisink for these cards, so probably you'll need separate mini heatspreaders for ram/mosfet chips. And if you haven't already bought MCW60s, you might get MCW80, it's newer replacement.
