I have 3 girlfriends, my job, my car, and my computer. My job is the rich girl, just spend some time with her and she will provide a supply of cash. My car is the material girl, a lot of money from the rich girl goes on her. Have to be careful to keep her happy. My computer is the faithful girlfriend, I dont need to spend much on her but she is still good to me.

No problem! Be glad to help. Preparing the case wasn't hard at all.
I removed the 3 HDD holder in the front lower portion of the case to make room for the radiator (Thermochill 120.2). I screwed 4 standoffs into the 4 holes on one side of the thermochill and then using 2 of the pre-drilled drive bay holes (they line up prefect) for the front of the radiator, and drilling the other 2 for the rear standoffs (into the drive bay). FYI i used the fan from the HDD bay i removed (and one from another case) for the FRONT of the radiator for looks, and it does increase the airflow versus just having the panaflos pushing into the back. I also removed the foam dust collector pads that were in the front drive bay covers to increase air flow (and looks).
We tried mounting the pump several different ways, but the best method we found was using 2 layers of 3m automotive trim tape on the pumps back. This stuff never lets go. As you can see i bought some 1/2" elbows for the pumps outlet over to the bottom of the radiator. Another thing i did, which is optional: I use a 700w thermaltake modular power supply which has a fan on the bottom. This fan is blocked by the rear-top HDD bays. I turned the power supply around so the fan faces the back of the case, and then cut a matching hold into the aluminum case side. Just by freak coincidence we have a C02 laser (My dad has extravogent hobbies) so i cut 1/4" Plexiglas with louvers for air intake to fit the hole and make it look nice. I also cut Plexiglas to mount the swiftech reservoir as you can see in the picture. With the laser we can cut anything wood or plastic up to 1/2" thick, it just needs to be a Corel-Draw X3 or autocad drawing. If you like i can cut another swiftech mount and mail it to you for free, it only takes a few seconds to make.

Yea he has that Swiftech Radbox. I'm really that the Radbox is sturdy enough to hold that 480GTX......because I would've had to fabricate a bracket for it if not.....there isn't any way it would fit in my case without relocating the SATA cage and the top 5.25" cage.
I wish I could have mounted the top of the rad flush with the case....but as you can see that isn't possible with the location of the 120mm exhaust case fan.
I may look into drilling some holes....
I still have to take my dremel to the top fill port hole and widen it......looks like crap with it poking out like that![]()

Can some one tell me where SiNiSon got his sATA cables from? I mean I found the one website someone posted but I live in the US and it doesn't have prices for the US and I can't ship to the US.
P.S. Everyone Murderbox.com is up... check it out! I guess he is selling his mod to anyone who wants to buy it! I can't get the pictures to come up... but still impressive none the less
