So after my run in with the M/B Disaster, I decieded that there will be no more fabrication till I had properly designed the whole damn thing. And since I am waiting on finalisation of the water cooling system, I had a bit of time in my hand.

I feel a Sketchup Session coming along...

So here it is:

Design 1: Dual Radiator at the bottom of the case

Design 2: Single Quad Rad on Top Inside Extended Housing

Design 3:Single Rad on the side I don't like this one too much. Its not Symmetrical :lol:

Design 4: Single Quad at Base

Design 5: Dual Tri Rad at base. This is one of only two designs where the Rads actually fit inside the case... SYMMETRICALLY

Design 6: Single Quad Rad in Front. It Fits, Its Symmetrical but it kills the huge open mesh effect at the front of the case.:idea:

And Finally the front Design

A

B

Lemme know which ones you like. I wasn't planning to water cool this case but the 3870 X2 (or the possible 4870 X2 :rock::rock::rock runs as hot as an iron, so I have no other option.

The Res Slit in front might be good for effect. I am planning to place a 12" UV behind the Res so that the blue water glows like crazy. So lemme know of your thoughts.

Thanks for reading... Later

Man great sketches, I can really see where this is heading. Nice work.

Would a 360mm on top be adequate, while letting you avoid having to extend the housing?

Loving it, by the way. Great framework.

Thanks Dude

I love the res placement of design 6, but I'd opt for the rad placements of design 1. Perhaps use a 360 and 240 to allow extra room for a PSU mounted on its side.

Well, even a Quad rad would be insufficient, let alone a lil'ol 360. I take it you like the top placement idea, something like this maybe?

Let see if I can fit two 360s a bit better... Gonna have to get really quiet fans for them, otherwise its gonna be 6 120mms howling away like a bunch of rabid wolves...
