Hi all,
Planning on building a high performance gaming rig which will also be used for video editing and rendering in HD.
What I want to do is Build the system with 2 loops.
First loop for the Motherboard and CPU using a 240 radiator with 4 fans in Push-Pull. May possibly consider cooling the memory on this loop but that will seriously complicate the plumbing I think but would use a 360 rad if I go that route.
Second loop for the GPU's Using a 360 radiator with 6 Fans in Push-Pull.
I was thinking of using 2 single 5.25" bay res/pump combo's (1 for each loop obviously)
Whilst I'm here I may as well ask what you kind people think of this plan and feel free to suggest any improvements.
On to the real problem. I can't seem to find a suitable case as I need space for -
Optical Drive
Fan Controller
2 x Reseviors
2 x SSD
1 x HDD (Possibly a couple more later on down the line)
Does anyone know of a case where the radiators can be efficiently positioned with the fans in place and not sacrifice too many drive bays. I would love to do a scratch build but I don't have a suitable work area yet. Would prefer cost to be kept below £200 and don't want to do much in the way of case modding just now.
Thanks in advance
