Having been bitten by the watercooling bug, it's time to do some more! I have one of those simple xspc rigs on the cpu within my antec 900. Been a good start, but time to add some of the wet stuff to the 2 vga cards. The case though is frankly too small, as there is currently no room for another radiator, and I'd also like to get a larger radiator to replace the small one I have currently.
So new case needed.
I read toxcitys sticky above, with various links within - lian li pc-343b and the mountain mods range.. The Lian I like, the price however makes me want to heave - and the mountain mods.. well they seem kind of industrial to me, what with the thumb screws sitting proud all over the place - the price is little different to the lian either.
In the recent past I almost bought a HAF-932, but glad I didnt now, as I dont know if it has enough room to fit large radiators within. I'm thinking 2x 120.3 size.
I wonder around the porn websites, looking at various chassis, and try to see where I could fit in 2 of these large radiators, and they all seem to fall short. Leaving me once again thinking about the lian li big-cube, and the mountain mods equivalent. Then I start contemplating how much I could sell a kidney for on the black market, and if she'd notice me whipping it out while she slept...
...I decided that a stanley knife probably wasnt the right tool for that job anyway. So then thought about crafting a cube/rectangular type chassis myself out of acrylic. But the types of plastics available is crazy:
Acetal Copolymor, Cast Nylon, Nylon 11, Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Nylon GX, Nylon GF, Polyethersulphone (PES), PEEK, PPOm Noryl, PTFE... and...
You get the idea..
So are these my only options to be able to fit 2x 120.3 sized radiators into a chassis? The lian li pc-343b, or one of the mountain mods? Or dig up more info on acrylic/plastics and craft something for myself?
