Had the the radiator hanging off the back when i first got it, then i moved it on top over the massive 200mm fan thats on top of the Antec 900 case.

And today i finally moved it as it looked ugly as hell with tubes hanging all over the place...anyway...here it is :D

The case with the fans and fronts removed

The radiator in question :D

Fitted the first fan into position ready to mark up radiator for glueing

The radiator behind the fan, the rad fits perfectly in between the little tabs that support the dvd drives...perfect glueing ponits ;)

The glue gun ( Still cant get over how strong the glue actually is :eek: )

Looks better no??? :p

Anyone know were i can get another 2 of those blue LED, 3 speed Antec fans from??

Just below the Blu-Ray drive there is a empty 5.25 inch bay, ive reverse mounted my HDD in there with an adaptor and because its reverse mounted you cant see the cables :p
 
Nice, I did a similar thing except I used a 120.3, it was one hell of a squeeze!

Good idea using hot glue tho, I fiddled around with bolting fans to the case and rad...

So you are basically having your case fans cooling it, will that not make the air inside the case hot ??

On a normal case yea it would, but not in these 900 cases, there air flow monsters :eek:

Ive owned quite a lot of cases in the past but none of them even come close to the airflow this thing has ;)
 
Ah very clever, nice idea indeed. might look into that when start doing my build, just waiting for some reviews of XSPC RX240 before order
 
what fan setting do you use? and what temps u getting? and do you think i will be ok sticking my hdd behind the rad about one bay up from the bottom? also what pump do you use? as im setting my w/c sytem up very soon, in my 900, and was thinking about cooling my cpu and northbridge, just wondering what liters per hour il need and what fan settings id need,
thanks
Alex
