Completly new in WC!

Hey guys! I started to get intrested on modding on past months so I bought a NZXT Guardian 921RB and modded a few things. Here are the pics:

I really wanna know if I have a good space inside the case to build a good WC loop. Trying to get the CPU and GPU. And also I wanna know if I buy transparent tubes and put UV reagent fluid will look better than UV tubes with UV Fluid. I searched in FAQ but didn't find anything about the block. The water runs inside the block? I don't know if this is the right section to post this, but thanks anyway.

unless you're looking to do more modding of the case likely your best option is to hang the radiator off the back of the case. The fans in that case don't look to be designed to handle more than a single 120mm fan. Also, if you need UV, buy UV tubing and use water as the coolant without any expensive additives. Add some biocide and/or silver coil and that's it.

From the looks of your current hardware you could likely cool both the cpu and gpu on a 240mm rad, a 360mm rad would definitely be plenty i think. You'll be fine on interior space if u have the rad off the back.

Thank you so much! Well, I will change my hardware when I get WC. Probably going for a good motherboard with 4+ ram slots and a core i5. Maybe if i take the HD case out of there and move it up, I could put a rad on the "floor" of the case next to my APC. And what about blocks? The water flows inside them?

Thats a cool looking case. I think it would be a fun project to watercool if you're willing to do some cutting and trimming. Seems like you might be able to get a 3x120mm rad on the top with some case fans on the outside. or at least a 2x120mm.

It seems like it would be difficult to house the radiator/fans/pump/res internal without some serious mods.

I was thinking in put the reservoir outside the case (in the back) and use the cable hole to pass the 2 tubes to inside the case. About the radiator, I can put a 240mm on the top or take off the HD case and put it on the bottom. But my real problem will be build a efficient loop with all the things so far from other. Like reservoir, rad and pump far for each other.
