Case Design for Liquid Cooling

[Mick64]

Yeah. But I didn't mean to remove the "removable tay" function. Just another design. Have you seen lian-li's?

I think that is superior to the other one. Adding much more strength to the frame. Because its going to be heavy. Especially with a .4 radiator in the top.

Also, I cant seem to find anyone that stocks the black Megaflow... Only red and blue. Even in the us

Sorry, I don't like this design. With the PCI slots separate from the tray, you would have to mount your graphics cards, etc after you have installed the motherboard. Not as versatile in my opinion. Also, I would still have to have the PCI slots removable so that they could be inverted. Therefore, I wouldn't be gaining anything.

I'm having the same result trying to locate stockists of the MegaFlow fans. I can't find black or clear anywhere, only red and blue LED. I have found a German website that supplies the red and blue, but their shipping is expensive, even to Sweden.

These fans are relatively new though. So, hopefully, they will become increasingly available as time goes on....

i too prefer your solution (mainly becuase i always drop the damn screw when installing pci cards)

Hmm, I haven't had any experience with any of these functions. I guess only if you have had them both you can decide who is the superior one.

You got some valid points but I think you can install graphic cards with lian-li's to. You just need to fasten the screws later. If I also change this design it will look very much like yours I have gained very much help and small stuff from just looking at your sketch. Its amazing. Things you don't think about before you put them in the model.

So you really think that the design you are using is better? Maybe I should go with that one to..

Edit: About the fan, is there any possibility that you can send me the 200m fan exported from sketchup? Even if it isn't exact it will give me a clue at least. I'm kinda stuck at the moment because of that. They are offering the blue and red megaflow in sweden also... But no one is able to get the black one. Have they even started to produce it?
