Ideal case to fit a 120.3 style rad to?

MikeHunt79 · 5 Mar 2008 at 22:01

My current case has been bodged to fit a 120.2 style rad, but I recently got a 120.3, and I now want a case with room for it...

Suggestions please.

I could get it on my current case, I'm using no optical drives so I'd only have room to mount it on the front, and have the front panel buttons (reset and power) somewhere else...

thermaltake armor, you will have 5.25" bay spare

EDIT: you will also have the power buttons, which takes a floppy drive

K, thanks. I'll take a look...

Also, does anyone have any pics of front mounted rads on cases at all? I need some inspiration, and would also like to see where things like fillports are.

^Damn, that's a huge case! I've got my 120.2 in that config right now, and it's going pretty going all the way from my PSU to the front...

EDIT: I may be able to do something similar if I moved my PSU... This might be way to go...

My PA120.3 fits easily into my silverstone TJ07 (with no cutting

)

I don't really have the space for a huge case, but thanks for the pics anyway.

It's given me some ideas, I think the easiest thing for me to do would be to relocate my PSU... Maybe even have it external.

What case do you have at the moment mike ?

Try looking at the Mountain Mods U2-UFO's, I ahve one and it fits a PA120.3 rad perfectly vertically down the front!

Either the Lian-Li PC343B or Neil's suggestion of the MountainMods case above - have a look on this forum for W3bbo's builds and vids.
Both can accommodate PA120.3 very nicely, but the 343 will require drilling out a few rivets - don't think the MM requires this but its hardly a major factor.
