Hi signed up to OC a long time ago, but generally just buying things. had my !80 for awhile now, and thought id freshen it up a little. not planning on spending big money on it, so just a few cheap case mods.

started by stripping it

had a few holes cut, had a few quick read on the net and seeing how other P180 users did their cable management.

got the case all sprayed in black, wouldnt say paintwork is the best, but it will do :)

and this is the plan of my set up, need to buy longer screws to fit the fan at the back for the push pull config on the h60 rad

Starting to look good :D Well done, Maybe if there is enough room between the floor and the case, a fan at the bottom pushing cold air up and another fan up the top blowing hot air out?
 
onyl thing with having a bottom fan is, there's a massive plate that goes between the PSU and the main area, so a fan at the bottom would render it pretty much useless, apart from to chill the Hd and psu :(

also, am abit stuck on how to mount the H60 since i have it on push/pull

fan/case/rad/fan ?

or

case/fan/rad/fan ?
 
Ah fair enough, im not any good with watercooling but i would say (dont quote me on this :P) Fan/case/rad/fan. More room inside your case then, you could always mount on the outside aslong as you can get the tubes in, Fan/rad/case/fan.
