but can i side mount the pump/res combi ? or does it have to be flat ?

thanks

I have that res - I don't think it would work - both inlet and outlet are on the same side and the pump mounts on the other. The fill port is on the same side and the inlet / outlet also.

Ye i think your righr. Looking at it now it wont work.

God damn it. I really want that case lol.

Might have to put it on the case floor.

Somthing to think about!

Cheers

No problem. There must be space in there for a tube res and pump. It looks huge

jonnyp1993 · 13 Oct 2013 at 18:26

There prob is. But i got this combi at a steal

You thought about any other cases?

jonnyp1993 · 13 Oct 2013 at 20:26

iv been looking at cases for about a month (birthday coming soon

), and cant decide what i want.

i love the look of the one posted above, and there is a few others like the nzxt h230, or h20, corsair 350D looks nice also, and there is a antec one i seem to like.

Here they are, maybe you can tell me if there any good for custom loops ?

i want somthing sleak, stylish, has a side window so can see all the loop, but isnt too big and will look good

.

i dont want much

I've never used any of those I'm afraid. Sure someone will chirp in who has. For custom loops I've only ever used my current Switch 810 and a corsair 800d. Both of which are bigger than I think you are looking for. The switch is fantastic for my gear although the build on the 800d was very good. Isn't there an in between corsair case out / coming out soon? Bigger than 350 but smaller than the 800?

jonnyp1993 · 13 Oct 2013 at 20:42

ye i think so, think its called the 750D ?, or is that a different one lol

Alz_D · 13 Oct 2013 at 21:42

Yeah that's the badger - There is a good review HERE Have a nosey

Alz_D · 13 Oct 2013 at 21:44

Looks like a pretty good case to be fair. Massive window, Corsair build quality and enough space for the dual bay res and a fan controller.

And an absolute steal at that price - I paid £200 for my 800D!

jonnyp1993 · 14 Oct 2013 at 07:54

ye, was looking at it last night, is a very nice case.

guess i know what im getting then

i can see a build log coming this way very very soon :eek:
