I picked up some water cooling gear from another forum user to use in my next build.
I've considered different ways to mod my Antec 900 to make this work and I can't come up with anything that I really like. The best I could come up with is to mount one of the rads in the front but I would sacrifice too much drive space. I don't want to mount it externally since I will, on occasion, be toting this rig to lans.
Here's what has to go in the case:
i7+full size board
Starting with 1x 480, might go with 2, but that's a ways off IF I do.
1x 2.5" SSD
1x 3.5" HD
1x 5.25" Optical
I also want to snag a good fan control/temp monitor to put in a 5.25 bay.
Stuff that will be in the water loop:
CPU, GPU, MB (as soon as I pick a board and find a custom block for it), 2x120 rad, 1x120 rad, pump/res. If I find an appropriate case I might change the radiator setup.
This is my first water cooled rig and the only case I've really seen doing the rounds is the 800D and that's a lot bigger than I want. I love the design of it though...no so much the price.
Any suggestions?
