Just placed an order for the case, feel a bit sick now, £200..why couldnt I have a cheaper hobby! I still need to buy a new radiator, anyone know if a 120.3 will fit in this, I know 120.2 will. always place orders on the weekend got to wait untill monday/tuesday now :(
 
Thanks for the info mate, are the hdd cages rivited or can they easily be removed? Also what the fans like that come with the case, they adequate to cool the rad or should I get some higher CFM fans? I will prob get PA120.2 or .3 but then the thermochill I have right now isnt all that great... any rads u reccomend? I not gonna have high flow fans prob up to 70 CFM max cus I hate the noise.

yeh they are, I'm hoping to get the temps down so I can o/c some more I have had the chip at 3.8ghz but the temps were 55c idle! I have a D5 pump and Apogee block, just need a beter rad, single rad is no way good enough although prehaps the .3 is an overkill? Not sure on the block but cba to change it now.

Yeh pics would becool, I seen them in reviews but would be intresting too see peoples layouts, epexially if water cooled. I will post my pics when it arrives and I have evrything setup.
 
Yeh looks good to me :) what exactly is your cup of tea monkey?! I still undecided between BIX3 rad and PA120.3 the PA costs quitea bit more but then i am going to be using <100 CFM fans and so the PA seems to be the beter choice for 60 odd CFM fans.
 
what sort of temp do you get with your rad under load? I might go with the PA120.2 all I am looking to do is o/c the E6400 as much as I can, the chipset wont be w/c and neither gfx card but it might in the future.
 
Running a bit low on cash, the 120.2 has eased that a bit over the 120.3 but I am still wondering if skimping on the fans will bite me in the ass later. I have looked at some XinRuilian 120mm 0.18A Fans, they push 65CFM at 30dba, which to me sounds pretty good and there only £5..I was going to get a couple of Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM which pump out the same CFM all be it 2dba quieter but then there £10 more each, is it really worth it? From lookin at the pics I will mount it at the bottom of the case, with the fans pulling air into the case, I have heard theres not much point doing a push/pull setup thoigh with the PA series as it wont really helpat all, will get a better idea when the case comes I reckon.
 
Right all ordered. Got the PA120.2 with 2x65 CFM fans and the usual misc stuff. Both the case and rad should arrive on tuesday if both ship out on monday!
 
Nope didnt get with window, not fussed really. Didnt know Ocuk sold this case.. would have got it from here :/ OMG and I have been overcharged £20! gonna ring these clowns tommorow. Swear I didnt see these cases on ocuk :/

Well I finally got everything I needed only to find out that my old PA120.1 barbs do not fit the 120.2..should have some tommorow! I am still trying to find the best setup for this case, the rad will have to go a at the bottom, like matt100 said there is no way you can mount fans and rad at the top!

The setup I tried was like this:


Pump > block > Rad > T-line > pump

So basically the t-line is just before the pump inlet. However I had doo many air pockets just sitting there not moving through the system, is this due to where I placed the t-line or should I just take longer priming the system to get all the air out? I think I stopped a bit early as the air pockets wouldnt move, I might force them round by squeesing them. I was using my 120.1 but I have drained the system and will wait for my barbs to arrive and try again!
 
The rad is just held in place by sum sticky pads, the case isnt exactly portable and wont be moving much and so the pads should suffice to keep it in place, there are some holes in the bottom of the case where the hdd cages were however the positiong of my rad does not line up with these and so are no good for me.
 
Ok system is all Installed and evrything is up and running, idle temps are 40c still a tad high but nvm havent tested load yet. Mother board temps have dropped a lot though, down to 30 odd was in mid 40's before. Hoever theres 1 big problem...I cant get the side panels back on the case! Has anyone else got issues with this? they slide on 80-90 % then get stuck and I cant bend any of the tabs that go into the slots to make it fit right! I knew they would cause issues because you have to be He-Man to take them off in the first place! Overall good case but not worth £220 I would say £100-£150 max.
 
Just thought I would post update of everything up and running finally! Running at 3.5Ghz @ 440x8.
