i like the front doors


ok im bored with this...so im done

[Kaky]

The fifth is an antec PS150 ?? is it that was the case i wanted to buy for my old pc pretty darn good and rough ...

[Silenced_Coyote]

That is actually the Antec P180.

[Luke122]

Correct, it's an Antec P180. I just got the P180B, and in all honesty, I'm too in love with it to mod it at all on the outside. :(

It's funny actually.. I bought the thing based on it's clean appearance on the outside, then after I got it, started reading reviews on it, and it's apparently an amazing case for near silent PC building.

..so I dont want to cut a window in it now. Might still watercool it though.. just because. :D

[Silenced_Coyote]

I was thinking about getting the Antec P180 and cutting a window in it. But I don't know how it would turn out seeing as there are 3 layers (metal, plastic, metal?) So maybe when I cut it, there would be a thin white strip of plastic sandwhiched between to thin pieces of metal. Which looks horrible to me.

[Kaky]

Sorry i misspelled the name yes it would be a shame to cut it but then in a few monts or a year.... ;)

[Custom]

I got the P180 great PC amazing cooling because of the seperate PSU and hard drive area, with a beast of a 25mm deep fan. (I think its 25mm I will check later)

[Luke122]

I'm thinking that since it already has a 120mm fan at the top of the case, maybe that would be a good place to mount the radiator for the watercooling?

I'm sort of new to watercooling, and I'm curious if there's a formula (or rule) for calculating radiator size based on CPU/GPU/etc ?

[simon275]

Man the tank case is cool. I love the flap for the optical drive it has and the side panel.

One place you can place it depending on the radioator is just a bit behind the fan which sucks air into your case.

Also if you by a kit then the radiator with it should be good. But if its a custom job go for one which maybe has at least two fans on it or is of a reasonable size. The information with the radiator should tell you how much it can cool.

Can anyone point Lukifer122 in the direction of a heat caculator for comp parts?
