How cheap can you really get custom watercooling?

Scrap that... lol

Right guys keeping the Fractal Arc now

Just bought a 120.3 rad so here is hoping it fits in the top without too much effort.

Should have the rad tomorrow so will post pics tomorrow.

I have also got a few other little bits to the build (costs rising, nooooooo)

life changing decisions

I know... LOL

It was the most practical at first but what the hell

xtremedetailz · 30 Jul 2011 at 22:28

Right guys if you look at the pictures it looks like i can get another 120.3 rad up front if i do a little dremel work.

Top one should fit fine and will clear memory and mb heatsinks.

What you think i should do about front ?

jorzeh · 30 Jul 2011 at 22:42

Nice, What did you need to dremel

, I have a Dremel Addiction since i got mine, My huby isn't allowed to touch my Dremel, Because it's mine o.O

why buy twice though?

I might get some of my things second hand. However, new is ALWAYS better. Why? because i'm a pedantic perfectionist

Watercooling 'hand me downs' with another persons dye stains - it's like wearing some else's unwashed clothing - it's a comfort thing.

What you guys think of this for mounting my HDD and pump once i have modded the the drive bays to allow the 120.3 as it will no longer fit in there.

Jony27 · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:25

you know,, thats exactly what i was going to suggest, mounting the hdd on the drive bays as ive seen one in a lian-li a05nb.
just need to make sure the HDD doesnt tilt back.

xtremedetailz · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:28

Its got no way of tilting back as its screwed in at 4 points.

xtremedetailz · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:33

Here are a couple more bits i have managed to source

Jony27 · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:51

new or used?

xtremedetailz · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:57

Used, but i give them a nice clean

Jony27 · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:59

they look new

whats the new plan/setup for the rads then?

Cleeecooo · 31 Jul 2011 at 16:01

Shame they're not black

New plan is i have one EK 120.3 rad that will fit up top and then im going to fit another 120.3 in the front so the 2 x 140mm fans will still be getting used and the rad will have 3 x 120mm fans on it also.

Then i should fingers crossed be able to fit a fan controller in the top 5.25 bay.

The bottom of the 5.25 bays will need cutting using a dremel to allow for the 120.3 rad to fit.

How's this going?
What's left to get or is it just a case of putting it together now?
What's the running total so far?

Hi mate still need another 120.3 rad but have to sell my PS3 first before i will have funds.

Then its barbs/compressions and some more tubing, oh and the fluid.

Will work it all out properly once its done.

Just need the PS3 to go now so i can crack out the dremel and finish it....

GoogalyMoogaly · 22 Sep 2011 at 16:39

Any progress with this?
