Closed-Loop Liquid Coolers

I'm not sure you'd have clearance above the motherboard to fit one in the roof, but if it would allow, you may get a 240mm (Antec 1220 or Corsair H100i/105) in the front.

Alternatively, the Antec 920 (currently on offer for £30) could fit in the rear 120mm space as an exhaust. You could also look at the Corsair H80i.

In the front you mean where the drive bays are? I've seen some guy do that on a YouTube video however I believe this is not an option for me as I have a hard drive in that area :\
 
Top end air coolers and AIO units are pretty much on par. It just depends on how you want the inside of your case to look!

In that case, there's no need for me to get another cooler xD Thanks for your feedback though, greatly appreciated!
 
Indeed, I probably stick with what your currently using, if you fancy something different them pop a AIO in :)

The 920 is decent, and reliable. Mine's been running for the past 2yrs non-stop.
It has removable fans, unlike the later antec models.

The corsair has a higher failure rate, I wouldnt touch one with a barge pole.
 
Shinobi owner here. If you really want a dual 120mm rad - the only place you're gonna get it is the front. I'm aware that you have a hard drive in the drive cage (if you can call it that). The way around this is to use the 5.25' to 3.5' plastic sled that comes with the Shinobi to mount your HDD in an ODD bay. This allows you to take out the drive cage with a pop rivet remover, allowing enough clearance for pretty much any thickness of radiator you want (you won't get a rad and fans in there without removing the cage).

You will not get a rad and fans in the top of the case - it will hit a VRM heatsink on your motherboard.

If you don't want to do this, your only option for AIO liquid cooling is single 120mm rad in the rear of the case.

Pot luck like most things I'm afraid. If you had a bad one, its unfortunate!

The new corsair units are much better, my H100i has been running flawlessly for a food year.
