new case for rad mod

SpudMaster · 15 Oct 2006 at 13:35

Ive been looking at getting a new case so that i can mod it so my radiator is placed in the top of the case.

The case ive been looking at buying is the lian li pc-7, would this case be suitable for this kind of mod, it looks as if it would but i just wanna be sure before i buy. My rad is a thermochil PA120.2. Im aware that i'll more than likey lose my top drive bay but as the rad is larger than most, when fans are on will i lose 2 bays? cos i dont fancy that

with the old HE120.2 , you lost 2 bays and had a bit of room for circulation, with the new PA120.2 (deeper) ... id guess 2 bays minimum, 3 ideally ...

ok thanks, not really the answer i was hoping for

I really like the look of this case and for the price its looking like a steal. If i do get this i'll be needing to fit my watercooling including my rad ideally inside. Would this be possible or is it more likely i'll have to put it attached out the back of the case?

you could always build a radbox and have the rad sit inside that and the tower sat on top of the radbox, works well and makes for a nice tidy build.
