RX360 in the front of a Shinobi?

[L37H3L]

Bitfenix Shinobi WC Loop

I planned to put an RX360 in the front of a 200R with push/pull, but looking at the shinobi it looks possible in there too. Appearance wise I like the Shinobi better so if it's possible to do this, I want to use it over the 200R. Anyone know if I could do this? Christmas is coming up and I planned to spend my Christmas money on my computer. Thanks in advanced. Also, I don't mind drilling my own holes to make it work.

Its possible, but, you may need to do some messurements first.

The RX360 is 400mm long where as the Shinobi is 460mm tall. So inside you need to have minimum 420mm of room to mount it. Only place as you know, that you can mount it is the front.

So its technically a hit and miss but i do believe it should.

PS: rewatch the 200R review and listen to what Tom said at the end; "makes me think of redoing the nurburgrig''

Awesome. I'm gonna go insane modding the Shinobi then. Totally gonna do a build log when I get the parts. Guess the 200r is going to replace the case my dad bent along with all the parts inside. :/

Anyone know of any 680 4GB cards that have a reference pcb I could put a waterblock on, preferably a Heatkiller since I like the look of it the best. If not, I'll just stick to a 680 2GB. I want the 4GB for BF3 across 3 monitors, but at first I plan to only use one because I'll only use 2 monitors. Google comes up with one but it's attached to a EK waterblock, and I don't like how both barbs have to come out the bottom. I'll be overclocking, so any factory overclocking isn't necessary.

Second question, should I braid all my cables myself to keep the color and density the same? I planned to go with Corsair Single Braid in Blue, but I also want all the fan cables to have blue braids on them so I was thinking about using Bitfenix Super Tight Weave and doing everything myself. I'll have a full window on the side because I just like the full clear window.

Third, can someone move this to the correct board, seeing as I've changed the topic from water cooling to just my new build in general.

Proposed specs for the computer:
3770k
XSPC Raystorm Black Edition
Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR3 1600
P8Z77-V
Neutron GTX 240GB
GTX 680
Heatkiller Hole Edition Black
Bitfenix Shinobi
XSPC RX360 with push/pull GT AP-15s
Some sort of fan controller, but I'll have to see what looks best where on the Shinobi
