Really hope that works out for you, I really do. I tried the "off the top of my head" style before, it didn't end well. :mellow:

hi! Got some of the parts last night quite a challenge in this build


thermaltake water 2.0 extreme

Gigabyte H61m-DS2 R3 w/ i5 proc inside

 

[renaire33]

Got some tinkering around last night, decided this fractal core 1000 should be reversed, LOL, them BOOM, first i had issues with so little space to turn the mobo tray around but got it

but the mobo tray seems weak so i made a bracket to support it.

test fit with the mobo in

Next would be fitting the 240mm rad of the thermaltake water extreme 2.0

interesting project, at least the core 1000 is cheap enough to not worry too much about hacking up.
