not a bad water cooling attempt in such a cramp case.

Looks awsome, water cooling looks to hard.

Thanks, I appreciate the response. The first time I installed water it was difficult, but after 2 or 3 rebuilds of the water system I got used to the size constraints, and it really works well for me. I have been looking into a full tower but the only models i like are as follows
Antec P190
Lian Li v-2100
Silverstone tj07
Antec 1200 (not released)
All those cases are way to high in price for just a case, and to me i havent found it necessary yet. Im sure i will soon though.

And mounting the two radiators gives so much room inside to do what i want with the tubing.

By the end of the month I will be buying my new mobo and re-doing the water system again, and Im going to elimate the NB and SB cooling(go w/ air), so that should loosen things up a bit.

If you see a case that you could recommend Id love to look at it, Im really interested in something that will serve my purposes perfectly(oh and I am not a fan of bright lights or cheap looking cases)


Thanks again for the kudos, its good to be apreciated by your fellow modders

Looks cool...Squeeze a few 4'' cc lights in there.... nice..

Try the silverstone tj07,you can mount a triple/quad radiator in the bottom of the case.

do you think that will intrude on the hard drive cages?? I have a need for lots of hard drives
by tigger (January 12th - 6:47 PM) - Reply
as an example-

by asb2106 (January 12th - 7:21 PM) - Reply
Oh i c, and then there is another rad on top. Was there a HDD cage taken out of the bottom though?

I have need to mount 4 HDD's in the case and I have 2 5 1/4 bays that hold 6 HDDs, it looks like one of the cages was taken out.

Is that your case?

Looking over cases for about 2 hours this morning I came across this one and it really caught my attention. I have been reading Maximum PC for years and around this time last year they really raved about the Gigabyte 3dAurora, this is basically the same case without the front door and a few additional changes. All in all it looks like it will fit my necessary requirements and then some! I do wish that they had the PS mounted at the bottom though!

Any thoughts??

I wish it was mine,there is a caddy taken out of the bottom,cant you just move it into the 5 1/4" bay area? i think for a watercooled rig,this is one of the best,with the space at the bottom for rads.You can fit a rad on each side at the bottom too i think.When i buy a new case,it will be the tj07 no doubt.

The gigabyte case is not too bad.You could probs put a duel rad on the back and a triple on the top.
by asb2106 (January 13th - 1:11 AM) - Reply
Yah the duel on the back and the triple on the top is exactly what i was thinking. I would buy the tj07 in a heart beat and I have wanted that ever since it was dream machine in 06. But I just dont want to pay that price for it. You would think after 2 years they would drop the price atleast alittle

I'll have a tj07 one day.
by asb2106 (January 13th - 1:37 AM) - Reply
have you seen this version of the tj?? They water cooled it, I would do it myself but they did give me some ideas on how I would want to do it.
