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

Dude, your work is awesome! I'll definitely buy one if this goes into production.
The only weak point, for me, is that it only holds four 3.5" HDD's. Granted, I could put a HDD cage in a couple/few of the 5.25" bays, but I like to keep a couple of those free for future use.

Great work! I'm really diggin' the revamped version to accommodate the dual classified board.

One question - How wide is that case? The reason I ask is because I was wondering if you could find a way to design it so you could stack the RAD's with fans on the outside and a set in between the RAD's.
Like this: {38mm Fan}[RAD]{25mm Fan}[RAD]{38mm Fan}

EDIT: What program did you use to make that?

Thanks Shadow!

With a little thought, you could arrange the cooling loops to give give you room for up to 8 HDD's. I'm also thinking about changing the design of the cages so that it's possible to fit 5 drives in each cage.

The case will be 240mm in width, so you could easily fit two 60mm rads in that configuration.

I use Google SketchUp for modelling and Kerkythea for renering...

Where do you have the pumps placed in that drawing? In the res?

That's a Primochill Typhoon III, the pump's built in and you can run two loops off the one res. It's not ideal, but it is an option....
