Does this look good or should I get more radiator coverage? I was planning to mount the rad in the basement to have it look a little cleaner but as with the size of a 900D I can mount more in the roof/front. My only issue is the CPU - Res connection and I'll assume it'll look pretty bad with such a long hose. Any suggestions?

it'll look really awful. and one in a case developed for many.. kinda like an mATX
board in the 900D, nuttin' but case..

at least a 360 or 480 in the roof and 360 on the floor.. to at least make an
attempt to use the space. just my opinion.

Agreed...

Also, flip the res round so you leave the single barb end at the bottom so you can have the returning hose coming into the top. It will look really messy having a tube coming all the way down to the bottom of the res.


As I've already suggested to another user...
It's difficult to recommend buying a £300 case, designed for heavy watercooling, when you can fit enough rads into a Switch 810 at half the price to cool your hardware sufficiently.

Either more rads in the 900D, or drop down to something a little smaller like the Switch, or Phantoms and save yourself some money

the great thing about the 900d is also a weakness. with a case that good with that many options, you have to fill it up with elite hardware else your little system is going to look silly inside that beasts belly. switch 810 maybe? or 800d?

i second what the other guys said. one 480mm rad in a 900d is a waste of space. either you get a smaller case like the switch 810 and fill it with a 360mm/420mm and a 240mm/280mm or you put another 480mm in the top and a 240mm + 480mm in the bottom or smth like that.
