I installed my new LG Blu-Ray burner today and cut it damn close. The drive is about a 3/4 of inch longer than my previous IDE burner (Samsung). The power adapter got in the way and prevented the drive from being fully installed. I managed to create an easy compromise and simply moved the radiator back a notch on the mounting bracket. That worked but will not be a permanent fix. Here are a few pics:
As you can see on the photo above, the outlet port on my radiator had a clearance issue prior to being moved. The SATA power kept pushing up against where the tubing is on the barb.
Here is an overview shot of my CPU block...
The outlet is now in perfect alignment with the radiator inlet port.
and lastly, a shot of my new LG Blu-Ray burner and water cooling reservoir.
and yes I know I need to dust, its on the to-do list however it has been too cold and rainy to take PC outside.
Case is a Cooler Master ATCS 840 with a Danger Den dual 120mm radiator
