Hi guys,
I'm putting my TJ07 liquid cooling on hold for now (until I get two 480's) whilst I help a friend liquid cool his Haf X. When I say help, I mean I'm going to do it all myself :D
Long story cut short, he didn't listen to me and lost £850-900 :( and he has now handed me his computer and he's given me a £900 budget.

ATM, I'm planning to go for what I'm planning to get with my TJ07 except smaller rads and in a different case.

Anyone got any ideas on what I should do? I plan to put a 360rad at the top and maybe remove the HDD cages and put in a 240 at the bottom. Anywhere else I could mount rads?

Also, if I go for a laing D5 pump which has 1/2 bards, do I HAVE to buy a pump top as a top would take me over budget :(

Any suggestions welcome
 
thanks - looks very nice!
I'm planning to use push and pull on the 360 rad at the top so not sure if I can have a 120 at the back :(

What's that thing at the bottom of your case that the reservoir is on and is it removeable?
Finally, can you take the HDD cages out without much modding?

It's the PSU cable management cover and it can be removed but obviously all the cables from the PSU are under there.

The HDD cage is not removable without some serious surgery.

Here's the story of a man who took on that task:

Yes it will.
Though don't focus on 5GHZ.. I can only get 4.8GHZ on mine. But that's not to say you won't get lucky.

TBH, stock is more than enough for him. He's insisting on overclocking. I'm only more than happy to oblige as I can screw up his and just get a new part under insurance within first 28 days. He's happy with this :D
Should give me some practice when it comes to my TJ07
 
one more question, If I get a lamptron fan controller with 4 inputs, how do I connect, for example, 10 fans to it? Is there a connector I can buy or do I have to do some modding?

Thanks
 
Can anyone recommend a fan controller with atleast 5 channels that has a screen aswell?
ATM it looks like im going for a lamptron FC6 but i would prefer something with temperature probes and alarms etc.
