Heya guys well I'm going to be doing my first water cooling loop and first mod to my rig in the cm storm trooper. I've got the phobya g changer 420 rad which is the only thing I'll have a issue getting in. Any ideas on how I could or should mod it? Cheers all.

doubt it'll fit the top so I'd look at the front of the case for fitting it. I have the very same rad and I love it.

Yeah I hope I'll enjoy it :-) I know it won't fit natively but it 'might', be possible to cut the top of the case but I have a feeling it will be one big mission for sure.

well,, the overall case is 580mm and the rad is 479mm. factor the front fascia another 30mm
leaves 70mm of "play". there goes the electronics, opti-bays and i/o? or sell it and roll into a 360mm
and follow Tom's idea on fitment. just an idea..

or fire up the saws-all and top that bad-boy...

I agree with airdeano .. short of removing the hd cage and modding the front to accept the 420 or modding and floor mounting it your options seem limited .. best of luck though

100% wont fit in the top, a 360 is tight up there. front is possible but nothing else will fit.
