Wow, a cardboard box. I loved playing them when I was a kid. Only joking mate, would love to see some more pics.

LianLi box...oh oh oh oh, what's in it?!

Oh...A71...sweeeet...I was looking at that one, and some others...but I don't have enough money for a real LL case...although I shall be getting a new one soon and spamming the eye candy in cases.

Hi again, a rather expensive cardboard box too :-)

Thermochill PA120-3 rad installed:

I think it's tailor made, more later...

Hi, motherboard installed to check on wiring routes, drive bays turned to rear, again to tidy up the wiring:

Hi, more to follow, just haven't the time to get my act together and I've had to dismantle my old water cooled system...

aren't the top fans supposed to extract? :confused:

Hi Steeps, looking into that at the moment, I can have it either way I guess. However is it a good idea to have warm case air cooling a rad? I would have thought it would defeat the object and make it no more efficient then pushing cool air over the rad...

Just thinking for balancing the air, in traditional cases you have cold air in at the bottom and extracted higher up, as hot air rises. The other problem is what are the other fans doing? 2-4 bringing air in from the front, 3 in the roof bringing air in and only the psu/1 rear fan to extract. I'd have all the internal fans bringing air into the case, and the 3 in the roof extracting. It's going to make very little difference to the temps on the rad due to the amount of air being shifted, but the case might be cooler due to better airflow.

The case isn't going to have too much hot air inside it anyway, for starters, you have plenty of fans shifting the air, and secondly, it's cooled by water, so most of the heat will be in the loop anyway...

Definately get the rad fans as extractors imo

Just the wiring now:

All done:
