You found that picture? That must have taken a bit of digging.


Before I set about cutting the edge mouldings and front/top panels, I figured I had better decide whether or not I am going to watercool this case as I would have to decide on radiator placements. After much messing around in Sketchup, I've finally come to the conlusion that I am going to watercool it, and in order to do so, the best way to put two dual radiators is to have one top mounted and the other bottom mounted. The case does have to be raised up by 1 1/4” (31.75mm) , but this simply is the best way that I can come up with to get dual rads in this case and still allow for easy wiring management. Here are a couple of quick renders to show the internal layout that I'm working toward.





Bottom Radiator Mounting

In order to mount a radiator in the bottom, I had to change the cutout in the bottom aluminum piece. I didn't want to recreate the bottom piece entirely as that would be a pain. I instead modeled and made an aluminum plate to sit on top of the case bottom to mount the radiator to. I cut out the case bottom, and made the mount. Here is how is all fits together.
