PC-A17B Question/Request

[ATLPIMP]

Can anyone who has the PC-A17 do me a favor and measure the clearance of the bottom 6 drive bays, with a drive installed in the seventh? I would like to know if there's enough room for a 2X120 radiator.

Maybe this will help:

Anyone...?

How about a picture of the front of the case with the cover removed?

How are the fans secured?

check out how the fans are secured, then go look at how tall the radiator your going to buy is, it should take up atleast 6 5.25" bays, and depending on how low the bottom of your pc is then it should fit. it may take up the 7th bay drive due to the barbs.

I was able to find some front pictures on the LL site, and I've taken measurements of my radiator, and it will fit.... like you said it may take the seventh bay as well, depending on how deep (at the bottom) the case is. I'll have to make some brackets to mount the radiator to the bottom. In any event, I'll know in the next few days once mine gets here.

Mount to the... bottom? Huh? Like with L-brackets?

To mount the radiator to the drive bays, Lian-Li already makes brackets: FCPU / PPCs

Any pictures of these in action? I don't think these will work with my gtx cross flow...

Looks like its made for the 343 case, are you sure those will work with other cases?

 

[ATLPIMP]

I think they will work, provided everything agrees... but I can definately see that I'd have to sacrifice that seventh bay if I wanted these. And besides that I could make those for less the $5! ...if not free

Both sites linked have a picture of the brackets in use, mounting a MCR320 in a PC-343. Here's FrozenCPU's: link

ATL check this out ---->link
There is room enough for a Drive and 5.25 fan controller in the upper 2 slots.

I was dead set on getting this case and already planned out a 2x120mm radiator in the bottom front with the LL brackets. Going to have to set it aside for a future build for now. You can also mount the drives to the side if you decided for a 3x120mm radiator.
