Water Cooling Antec 1200 ?

[Brainy]

Hey, being new to the water cooling community I thought it would best to ask someone..

I have an Antec 1200 case

A Asus X58 Extreme

A Geforce GTX 285

Intel Core i7 960 (Not OC)

4 Gb Corsair Dominator

Im thinking of putting some WC on the CPU and the GPU, and was wondering if it is possible to do it in a case like the Antec 1200. If so, is there someone who has tried it, or can give me some ideas on what to use, prebought kits or w/e?

I will appreciate any help

I think our forum friend Andrew has done it, here is a link to his Rig Gallery, check out his room gallery as well it's pretty damn sweet

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWA YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A rasa rs360 or rx360 kit + gpu block will fit and do the job.

I have an Antec 1200 also and I wondered how to mount a rad in the front. Could you post some pictures of it?

 

[andrewmchugh]

sure mate, ill take one now .. found one during build, that shows the rad mount.

I used a Sharkoon Rebel9 fan frame and dremeled it and painted black. http://www.comeuro.net/webshop/product.php?productid=131739

Sweet did the holes on the mount line up with the screw holes fine?

First of all, thanks for the help

Second, Andrew what have you done with your HDD?

With the 360 taking all the space...

 

[Brainy]

Another question, for overall use of WC, can it be safely transported in the back of a car lying down? Without draining it..

 

[andrewmchugh]

I have 2 ssds in the back no HDDs at all,

And yes you can but make sure that res caps are on SOLID.

 

[Brainy]

If the 360 rad is mounted all the way at the buttom will there be space for 2 optical drives at the top? And can you fiddle one of the 3x 5.25" in maybe behind the rad?

 

[andrewmchugh]

Yeh there will be 2 slots almost 3 but not quite.

What about the 3x5.25" hdd bays, can they be placed any where?

 

[andrewmchugh]

I dont think ull get that in bud, if you use L brackets (drill case) then you would be able to get the rad almost touching the bottom of the case, then you might get the cage in.

 

[Brainy]

what about the rs/rx240 will it be enough to cool both the cpu and gpu you think? it will give a little more room

 

[andrewmchugh]

rx240 should be ok with no oc, but not as good as the 360.
