Moved my rig to a Core P3 case

[DWolvin]

It's impressive how much stuff you can pack in here, but I did have a clearance issue on the video card and will need to make a blank plate for that spot ...

How did you mount the radiator at an angle like that? Custom bracket?

I dig, though. I have a P3 and a P5, and they're my second favorite cases ever, after the Antec SX1030.

I found angle brackets for mounting 140mm fans somewhere, it's just a pair of steel mounts that fit on the middle fan mount in between the rads.

I do need to make a blank for the missing fan- the GPU is a bit to long to fit the middle fan. but with 840mm of rad I figure I'm OK...

Fun facts...You can use any TV Vesa wall mount or Vesa arm on any of the Core Cases

 

[DWolvin]

Yep- I'm already thinking about the next layout...

But going to live with it like this for a while.

Can you snap a few more pics? Looking for ideas as I'm about to WC my system in a p3

 

[DWolvin]

Sure- I'm going to update the tube a bit (make a bubble separator / fill port) and will get some pics this afternoon.

So... The elbow I need for the change didn't show up, but I'll take some pics in the morning with the glass off.

 

[DWolvin]

Didn't know what you were looking for so here are a few shots of the 'interior'. Let me know!

I take it 2 rads were enough for your setup ?

 

[DWolvin]

Yeah, they are 420 crossflow, and a little bit of an accident (but cheap so whatever). I love that the fans are running something like 850rpm (MSI's fan curve on this bios is terrible), and I can't hear the pump at most speeds (Barrow D5). Overkill on rad size, but I realized the fans would just fit between the stainless legs for the glass top and I had to do it.

No res?

 

[DWolvin]

Nope! The top edge of the Res is higher than the pump and I'm going to use the highest port between the rads for top up (that's the 90 fitting I'm waiting on).
