Case Design for Liquid Cooling

[Mick64]

When designing the rad mounts I struggled with the fact of making a case *just* for one specific radiator, after some simple measurements I came up with a very simple mod to increase radiator compatibility/flexibility. Drill out the screw holes on the rad brackets so they are oval shaped as so:

'Snip'

This will allow me to slide the radiator back and forth up to an inch in either direction to allow:

-wider pumps/tubing/LCD screen..whatever
-other brands of radiators with different hole spacing.

My design will fit up to and including any inline triple 140 or quad 120mm rad on the market, although a quad 120 would not line up *perfectly* the ends would stick over the edge of the bracket..however airflow would still be clean through the rad.

Cutting out your fan mounting holes would allow this case to accept any type of inline 120mm radiator..and add the flexibility to fine tune the radiator positioning as needed.

Thanks for your input dsumanik. The idea of slotting the rad brackets has been brought up before, and I agree that this is a good idea and something that I do intend to include in my design to ensure that any 120mm rad can be used. I just haven't got around to adding that particular detail to my renders....
