Hi Guys,

I've got this old case kicking about, which I wanted to watercool. It's an Antec P180 which wouldn't normally lend itself to water cooling but I've done the following to it.

And I think I can get a pair of 240mm rads in there, I've got 180mm side to side so I'm after some pointers for Radiator/Fan combinations please. I'll be doing a full cpu/mb/gfx system with a DDC probably sitting in the spare drive bays. I was going to go with 60mm thickness rads, but that doesn't leave me much of a channel for cool air to come into the case from the front when you include fans.

Cheers

it will be tough :] also remember that youll need decent airflow in there

will follow just to see how it turns out x3
 
180mm minus two 45mm rads = 90mm space left or

180mm minus two 35mm rads = 110mm space left. easiest to find

110mm minus 50mm for two fans= 60mm for space left.

fan push from one side, and pull from the other side with venting in the side

panels. kinda like Tom did on CKC on the lower 240's.

the 45mm could do what you are looking for, but the 35 would be

for non-overclocks because of the disapation of the thin rads.
