    You can never have enough room. Anyways I may set it up like a duality, considering what I'm looking at has 6 140mm fans in the front, 3 in the back, 4 120mm's in front, 2 in back and 4 on top. Not to mention 4 PSU mounts.

    Hrmm, that may be overkill. *shrug* guess it's called xtreme systems for a reason. Either way I'll build a 22" cube w/ 120.3's if Marci doesn't make the 140's. I think my wife is on board w/ me getting a new case since I promised to powder coat this one pink and give it to her.

    yer i decided to do basically the same but mines only a 22" cunbe i dont have much experience with sketchup so i cant do all the internals and the backplates

    Would be a 140.3 straight away; would be nice if I could find low noise 140mm fans in the UK. They seem to be as rare as hens teeth around here

    I would be very interested in a PA140.2, but I think 140.3 would be near impossible to fit in any normal sized case.

    So wierd I was just thinking the other day about 140mm rads.

    It could be like any other case out there. If it's well laid out, yes, that's a ton of room....BUT, if it's poorly laid out, it's gonna get cramped in a hurry.

    It's either gonna be a TJ07 or a Antec900.

    dunno if this has been said... but why not a shroud for a 160 that fits a 140 fan?

    ^^ theres the post

    considering that Thermochill clearly cant meet demand (ie OOS most places) so they clearly wont be dev'ing a new radiator

    How would you fit a PA140.4 anywhere in/on a case? That's over 560mm long...

    Thumbs up 140.2 Ftw!!!!

    PA140.2 depending on overall size could be an awesome rad.....

    Now if Petra could stock it and few 140mm YL fans

    I definitely think there is a market for larger more adaptable rads... With as many people that are building custom cases from the ground up... you know there are owners that would go with the "biggest & baddest"...

    Something in the lines of a setup that would be capable of linking more than one rad together... like PA 140.2x2 or a 3x3.... even if they went back to the 120mm standard... I would like a 3x3 setup! The rad should be more adaptable than it is... rads are do or die... when it comes to fitting them where you have room.

    go for it!

    i spec'd up just a square case in sketchup and it fits a 140.3 easily mind you its 22" wide. It has enough room for two

    At 36" tall and building, my next case ought to dwarf those.

    Could easily fit 4x140.3s with a pair of 140.2s in the back and a 120.2 under the PSU. And it's NOT a cube. When I get the foot on it, I expect it to be near 4 foot tall, and 14 inches wide. It would all JUST fit, but it would fit.

    Arf it seems googling around for 140mm rads just finds this thread :/ I'm looking at the Thermaltake Armor+ (Great reviews and I quite like it's features) which allows for two 140mm fans to be mounted on the bottom as intake which would be perfect for a 140.2 rad >.< Guess I'm gonna have to go with 120.2 in the mean time...

    Yeah I know but there's always the thought that continued interest might light a spark in thermalrights dev department

    For those who didn't take the time to read the first page, the 140.x are not actually being made, as far as I know they haven't even done a prototype yet, this was simply a discussion :P
