Hi all,

Not sure if this is in the right forum, but thought I would ask here anyway.

I am thinking of going watercooling soon and would like to fit a tripple rad in the roof of the case - trouble is my TJ09 won't accomodate that without serious modding by the looks of things.

It would seem I have two choices, either step down to a double rad which will fit ok in the TJ09 which will in essence not cool as well and also will limit future upgradeability i.e adding GPU to loop.

The alternative would be to buy another case which will accomodate a tripple rad easily such as

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-159-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

The coolermaster case above accepts the tripple and they even supply the brackets with the case apparently, are there other alternatives I should consider ?

Has anybody got experience of watercooling in the above coolermaster if so how did it work out?

Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

You might want to consider having a look at the Aplus Black Pearl WCR

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/cases_cooling/a_case_black_pearl_wcr_edition_atx_case/1

and also the TJ07. Being honest...if I was going for another case for watercooling then it would probably be one of the 2 but most likely the TJ07. It just seems made for it where others can just accommodate it.

The Coolermaster case you've listed does look very good and I understand it's a significant leap in quality from the Cosmos S I have, however, I've not been too impressed with the build quality of the Cosmos S so it's somewhat tainted my view of Coolermaster.

As I said earlier though...if I was buying another case for watercooling then it would have to be the TJ07. It's a gorgeous case, oozes quality and has all the space for rads that one could wish for. ;)

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions - the A+ looks nice but I don't think it is in the same class functionally or aesthetically as the TJ07 - so may have to look at that as an option, but have not written off the coolermaster yet - although I take on board your quality control concerns.

Hope somebody else chimes in here - but will keep you posted
