But I gotta tell you I think the way you mounted your radiator is very bad. The way the tubing is bending off the RAD is not good and as water heats up the hose will only bend worse. Plus IMO it doens't look good at all like that.
Can't criticize without offering a suggestion.
I would go buy several sheets of Plexiglas, spray paint, and some silicon and make a quick box to store all external components in. If you make a box out of plexi you can spray paint the backside of it to hide/show what needs to be hidden/shown.
Or Mount the radiator on the back of the case near the exhaust port.
Please vote and vote fair!
If you think my rig is not good please tell my why like ZenZimZaliben
Nice, clean looking job! Good idea with the band clamps to give the tubing some better support, just make sure they aren't too tight, or not cutting into the tubes. 8/10 cheers
score = 8/10
Ditch the CRT for an LCD
Trying to do neat wiring in a P180 is a nightmare. So well done.
Another suggestion in the longer term is to get some of those angled connectors, either the 45 or 90 deg versions. Bitspower make a whole range.
What about like how I did with my case, I got some spare fans and cut the inside out, just left the border and made my own rad box, if not you can buy the swiftech rad box to mount it anyways
check out my posts below, get some ideas if you'd like :toast:
