Hows this order look guys?

[Chunkylover21]

Im about to place my order for my new watercooling setup along with new case. Just want you guys to take a quick look over it to make sure I got everything I need. I already have a D5 pump btw.

Ill be cooling a Core 2 Duo X6800 Extreme Ed as well as an 8800 Ultra on one loop with these new parts. Motherboard is a Gigabyte P35-DS3L. I have 2 HDDs, 4x1gb of ram an X-fi, 700w OCZ PSU, and 1 optical drive.

Will the case be a good size or do you recommend going to the 1200?

go with the v1200 for the added room especially if u have a long psu as the psu area has more room to acomindate longer psu.

Are you mounting the radiator up top, or out the back?

Not really needed, unless you need more than 3 HDDs.

I am only going to have 2 hard drives. And my PSU is not very long.

Still recommending the 1200 or stay with the 1000?

 

[Nick_Leo]

id still recommend it becuase the added length and if ur mounting the tripple rad on the inside it would be nice with extra room.

I also havent decided this yet, Ive looked through countless pages on the threads here at other peoples setups and its pretty evenly distributed. I think Ill go on the back because that how my current setup is and I think its good.

Less chance of anything getting damaged that way.

nvm, i ordered the 1000B

the v series are by far the best case ive ever worked in and the prices are worth it for all the smooth edges and no cuts i get like when i build friends pcs in cheapo cases.
good luck with the new case and water cooling.

The 1000s are better too, becuase you can get aftermarket window panels from them

Go with the V1200 as it has much more room. Room is good for water cooling!

If you want to see what you can do with a V1200 here is a highly modified one I found on bit-tech. Here is a V1000 case also on bit-tech as well.

BTW, some of the best mods are on bit-tech.

The feeding frenzy was done in the V2000 case. The V1200 is just a longer version of the 1000.

I was perfectly able to set up a triple radiator + single radiator WC loop in my V1000B.

I ordered the one posted above. Its the 1000. I think i can get along without the extra couple inches of space. Thanks for all the info and luck though guys.
