New TJ07 cooling project...could use your help/ideas

[masaville]

whould u say its heavier than a loaded Stacker (same 1 as my mates i pointed u 2 earlier). It really takes 2 of us to move it safely. Its awkward as much as anything else!

In my case yes, but i have two rads, two pumps and two reservoirs, which will add a little to it. If I had added a second rad and res to my 830 I would have to say it's marginally heavier.

The beauty of this case is the space it provides for w/c. The entire bottom bays pop right out and you can mount pretty much whatever you want down there. You can stuff a couple of 240s down there with pumps or a 480/240 like I did. Alternatively if you only want to use 1 rad a 360 would easily fit along with pump and res. That leaves you with a ton of space for mounting drives, etc. The 830 is so poorly designed space-wise that you can barely get a 240 rad in there with anything else. The case is also quite wide and if you look through this thread you can see that I mounted the hard drives on the side of the bay.

Lots of option. As I mentioned earlier that Lian Li v2000b II Plus looks like a great case as well with a lot of room. It probably doesn't way anymore than this one seeing as it's a thinner aluminum. I mounted them in the bays only because I used two. If I had used one I would have throw it down below or right next to the MB.

The res I mounted could easily have been mounted right on the motherboard tray next to the motherboard leaving all of your bays free. Lots of space to do that as the case is also quite long.
