hello,
im in the process of buying watercooling with my pocket money :P
getting an antec 900 or 902 for xmas and was wondering if the "black ice GT stealth 120" rad would fit in there internally as i want it to look neat and not mount it externally as i would not like it to cover up any slots at the back etc.

anyways any help would be appreaciated and here is the link for the rad i am looking at: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-011-BX
 
You'll have to measure it up but i think it would fit quite neatly in a set of about 3 5.25" bays quite nicely. If you don't want to give those up you may be able to cut a hole in the top and mount it in the front roof.

If i was sticking on water cooling though i'ld get a bigger radiator big enough for good cooling of CPU, NB nd GPU without destroying my hearing and mount it on the right side panel.
 
im only cooling my CPU and possibly NB GFX is staying on air and im going to replace the cooler with a silent one and make my case as silent as possible :)
 
thanks :) ill go to a local computer shop and ask them if they have a 900 for me to have a look at if it looks spacious enough then ill definatly tell my dad to order form OcUK
 
Go for a 902 instead of a 900, arguably looks a bit nicer and has dust filters, aswell as better cable management holes.

Well worth the extra £20 or so.
 
Don't get the antec 900 if you're thinking about watercooling. There's no reason to make the process that much more difficult right from the start, go with one of the cases that is actually sensibly set up for water cooling.

A cheap 120 radiator wont cool much, what hardware do you want to use with it?

Coolermaster HAF seems to be popular for people new to watercooling, I'm using an akasa omega. The former will take a triple internally, and probably more. The akasa will take a double in the roof, a single at the back, and another one or two singles at the front without external mounting or even cutting anything up.
 
That makes your life a lot easier with water certainly. I'd probably also go with a triple, I'm using a double and a single at present and kind of wish I had a triple instead.
