What do you think of my "water cooling" case design?

[Noids]

I am assuming the rads will not actually be included with the case, so similar to the TJ07, there is no reason why the lower bay could not include modular HDD caddies that could be swapped out for a rad for those who need a second rad. Hell even sacrificing one of the fans for a lower 120.2 rad setup combined with a HDD caddy would be an option.

Mick did you have a look at the protocase website that was linked earlier in the thread? It seems that they more basic enclosures, but may be something that is worth investigating.

Personally I was looking at purchasing an X-2000 and paying about AU$700 for it. Something like this setup would be more suitable, require less modding and thus I would probably consider up to AU$1000 for it. Obviously this would be a niche market and the pricing would match, but considering the sort of systems we see in these forums and similar places, I definitely think there would be a market for it in that price range.

Cheers

you want more HD bays then buy some mountainmods fan to HD brackets


besides with everything going to tiny passively cooled 2.5" SSD's hard drives will need less and less rackage. you can mount SSDs today straight behind the mobo tray, no need for HD racks at all.

Yer your right, storage is less of an issue, but I still couldn't see the problem
with including one modular bay you can either place in the top or bottom,
Then people with two triples, or a double and quad and et cetera can make use of it if they please. Would be useful for people using a couple of RAID arrays or a RAID 5-6 array.

Makes the package seem more complete rather than having to go and purchase brackets.
