    Full Tower from the past, they don't make 'em like they used to...

    Well, after realizing that I won't be able to fit 2 rads in my Chieftec Mesh case,
    so I exchanged it for a vintage full tower one...

    Behold:


    Digg the sliding mobo tray:


    And the sliding top cover:

    All panels off:


    The problem now is:
    my rads still don't fit!!!
    (the double rad fits on top perfectly, but I have a hard time figuring out how to fit the tripple one...)




    My innitial plan was to arrange the rads something like this:


    Maybe you give will have some original thoughts on rad placement...

    Update:
    After thinking about it and reading your posts I came up with this:





    As You can see the rad does not fit 100% yet, i have to enlarge the hole at the back that I made.

    And another update:
    did some more work on the case today:



    The tripple rads now fits on top nicely, just needs a bit of work with the mounting brakets.
    Cut the hole for the double rad, also need to make some brackets.
    Enlarged the PSU hole. Some other misc pieces removed.
