Project: Big Water Little Case

[Slibri]

I have had a variety of cases over the years. From a server case to a shuttle. My most recent case was a Cooler Master HAF 932. Although this case did work very well to fit all my water cooling very well my one issue with it is it's size. Being a Full-Tower case the HAF was not very portable and being a college student it gets moved a lot, being on the third floor doesn't help either. So as a result I have decided to cram all my water cooling into a Mid-Tower case, specifically the Cougar Solution, to make it much more portable we'll see how it goes.

Here is a list of what I have for water cooling components:
-Swiftech MCR 320 Radiator (Triple 120mm radiator)
-Koolance 3x120mm Fan Radiator Shroud
-Swiftech MCP 350 Pump
-XSPC Laing Pump top Reservoir
-Koolance CPU-330 Water block
-Bitspower 1/2 x 3/4 Compression Fittings
-Scythe KM02-BK Fan Controller/ Temperature Monitor

Here is a list of the new parts I am using to upgrade my computer while I'm at it.
-AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz AM3+ Eight-Core Processor
-Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX Motherboard
-Gigabyte GTX 680 4GB
-G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1866
-Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD
-Western Digital Black 1TB Hard Drive
-LG Blu-ray Drive

Here are some before pics of the case

Here is the Koolance Triple 120mm Fan shroud on top of the case

Here is the "Naked" case with the top taped ready to be cut.

Here is a closer picture of what I plan to cut out of the top of the case. Yes that big rectangle in the middle is going byebye

I like the Koolance Fan Shroud. I've considered using one on my old coolermaster case. It looks like it should be a fun build. Can't wait to see the results!
