hey guys i recently just bought a case that was built for lan parties buy thermaltake and am about ready to put in the water cooling. however i am faced with a problem. will the rad fit. i wam planing on putting in a black ice extreme rad 120mm and mounting it to the top of my case. i want the best parts becuase money means nothing. any suggestions or can anyone who was done this mod give me some instructions. thanks i am a newb.

My Water Cooling Setup (Coming Soon!)
Danger Den 12v Pump
5/12 bay res
tygon tubing 10ft
unknown about blocks
case:
Thermaltake Lan Fire
 
Radiator placement is always a problem in water cooling. Mounting it on top is a good way to get rid of this problem. You can also cut a blow hole in the top of your case and have the radiator sitting on top of the case. Depending on how wide the case is, you might be able to fit a single 120 in the front intake spot as well. If money is truly no object, don't get a single 120 rad, get a double 120 model. As far as blocks, all the DD ones are great, since you're already getting that pump.

Sure, aim is deadlierchair, I'll be on a little tonight, more tomorrow. Feel free to post as well.
 
ok i think i am going to go with 2 black ice micros but if i have the pump right in front of the rad will it be a problem. i was thinking of putting one in the front and one on the top. will this still be a kick ass water cooling system and what order will everything go in. pump rad what?
 
i have that case too :D its nice, but not that much room inside it for watercooling.
 
oh no, i dont have watercooling yet, lol. have you considered mounting it on the bottom of the case with the fans intaking from the bottom?

well is the case wide enough to fit a 120mm rad?

Check measurements as for that question. Every site should have dimensions that you can check with.

I would stay away from Black Ice Micros. I would recommend them only in the most extreme case of lack of space. You should try for a 120 MM Black Ice Extreme. Mine cools both my CPU and my GPU, could be cooler, but does the job. If you can, try to cut a hole in the top of your case in the shape of a rectangle a little bit smaller than the radiator and then set the radiator on top of this and have air blow up and out. This would work really well with a dual 120 MM radiator.
 
i have never tried to fit one, but i know the case is wide enought to fit a 120 mm fan plus some
