plans for my haf 922

[shambles1980]

ok.
so i drew up some lame looking plans in paint.
This will be for a Haf 922
it may be a little over kill for a while. but as i will probably add some more blocks in to the loop after a while and i will be using this case for MANY many years. (i think my old case is about 10 years old now)
I may aswell just set it up like this now and be able to just drain it and change a couple of pipes as i need to add more stuff..


Wondering if this setup will be ok asthetically more than anything.
Il just use pvc tubing with bends for a while then add elbow joins in later if i think it needs it.

pretty sure 1 pump will be fine il try to keep the tubes as short as possible

all the rads will be in Push or pull only . (so 1 fan each for the 120's exhausting air out pull. and 2 fans on the 240 exhausting air out in push)
the haf comes with a 200mm front fan which will be intake.

my 922 comes with the windowed side pannel not the mesh. little worried about the air flow but not overly worried as the fans on the rads should be running at really low rpms

how about taking out the 5.25 inch bay and put a 360 rad up there and dodge the single 120's for that

the 922 only has 5 front bays. and i would need to do some hacking to get a 360 in the front, and im not so sure it would end up looking better either.
the bottom 120 rad can probably get covered up/boxed off. if it does start to look a bit unsightly.

also im not so sure what id be doing with reservoir, hard disks and my optical drive if i went fro a front mounted 360.

I was going for a top mounted 360, you may have to cut some pieces ub but it works my brother did so aswell

i didnt think a 360 would fit in the 922 so i ordered a gt stealth 240 rad.
"went for a thinner rad to make sure it would fit in the case like in the pic"

I hope that my psu isnt to long to stop me mounting a 120 at the bottom like i wanted too, but it may well be but its almost time for a new one of those too. so that wont overly annoy me.

I will be using a rear mounted 120mm regardless i think. as i like to use up as much rad space as i can. cooling is my main priority. but a quiet system is my second one. so i like to have a lot of radiator space but lowest possible fan noise.

honestly. i want to cram in as much radiator space as i can but i dont want it looking terrible.
