Need ideas for WC a CM 690II

[ortizimo]

Hello everyone...I need some ideas if you have them of how to proceed with water cooling a coolermaster cm 690 II. I've looked around but it seems its not a very popular case and I do not want to fork up $200 for a new case when I can use the $ for something else.

This will be my 3rd WC project but I need ideas. I live in japan and even though most things are made here, I can't find then locally and have to import from US. So I need to save the time and the money.

Basically, I need to know what I can fit in it. I've seen a 240 rad on top and the bottom but I think i could get a 360 on top...suggestions? Thnx!

I had just the 690 which is almost the same chassis as the 690II and easily fit a 240 rad on top and bottom. With the 690II having that SATA tray on the top it could spoil your plans of using a 320 rad but with a little modding that shouldn't be a issue.

thnx...i guess a monsta rad is out of the question for the top portion? also do you recommend the Swiftech MCR220-xp?

You can fit a 360 [25mm] rad on the CM690, I have one build a few years ago.

But you are limited to 25mm rad´s with only one set of fans inside the case.
You can use a 40/50mm rad with fans outside but you will a rad box and no top cover.

This was one of my build´s with a 690, take a look at the photos: http://forum.aquapc.com/showthread.php?t=85264
