haha wow i'm not going to be doing something nearly that crazy. my goal is just to get everything inside the case because i want the clean look.Originally Posted by disruptfam
hmm leaving the EK res will be hard because i'm also building this rig for eye candy. except the EK 150mm is so hard to find in stock. i don't really want to get the bigger sizes.the thing i think you could save on is the RES, the EK res are beautiful and ive always wanted one but its just too darn expensive. i love DD fillports and thats all ive gone with. for 12 bucks and a 1 dollar T you good to go compared to 50 + maintenance and installation
question what kind of hardware are you planning to run? i dont know if a 120.2 would be able to handle CPU + GPU + NB with OC. you might want to go bigger, really depends on your hardware, and i really dont think you need to WC your NB.
your block choose are good, there all generally free flowing, so your fine there. as for your bay question, you could always run your tubes below if you build a mount you could still have all your bays just have your rad externally mounted in front. i had to do that before when i had a push pull on my 360gts xflow what was nice is that everything extrude out the center without touching the wings so i had a nice look to it. but again with a 360 it takes up alot of space which i generally dont care, im thinking off adding a drive but im only using one rom. im going to be taking out the whole 3.5 + power and restart bay tray to clear out some room, ill relocate those to somewhere more convenient
i won't be doing too much OC'ing and also have an AMD (they run a little cooler) so i think one good rad for everything is sufficient. and that's why i also when with a thermochill instead of a swiftech mrc220, but it's just that the PA120.2 costs more than double! and i think having the NB in the loop shouldn't add too much heat.
i don't want anything sticking out or hanging from my case. how many bay drives did your double rad take up? i plan on havin the rad and 4 fans for it to take up 7 bay drives. and PA120.2's are kinda thick. the 60mm and an additional 25mm for each fan will make the whol rad/fan set to be 110mm thick. that's almost the full thickness of the bays so i can't really have anything behind the rad in the bays. that still leaves me 3 free bays (since the power and reset button takes up a whole one) to have for the HD, dvd burner, and 1 extra right?
anyways, all these parts will fit 7/16" tubes right? and should i have intake or exhaust at the front? direction should i have the air flow at the front?
