Radiator for xigmatech phaeton case

Title says it all really

I'm looking for a radiator to fit in the top if
My new case I've got the rest if my cooling system but struggling to find a radiator that will fit into the tip of the case so I can also put the
Lid on

Ideally the hose connections will need to come out if the back of the rad rather than the top due to limited space and it also has holes on the rear of the case for the hoses to come out of and the
Go back inside

Yeah obvious spellin mistake I blame last nights session

Anyway the case is this one

It says it can fit a 280 but to be honest there is just about enough room for a slim 240 but it would need to have the hose connections on the side of the rad
As if they were on top even with 90degree elbows screwed in I wouldn't be able to put the lid on

Also can someone point me in the right direction of some good clamps to keep the CPU block down as all I have is some long bolts with nuts and to be honest I'd rather a more professional look

Btw this is my first water cooled system that I'm building so will probably be asking lots more questions as I finally get to putting it all together

First of all read up on the subject, plenty of info on the net > skinnie labs for one, chosing components research them read reviews , etc. When you have a idea of what you want , post a thread with your components + any questions you may have and members will keep you right.

Already got all the bits as I bought a kit from a friend that he never used just the rad will not fit in the case that I bought

Hi again, what is the problem your having with the rad you'v got why will it not fit in the case, give as much info as you can, pics can help. As for the holes in the rear means you can fit a rad on the back, l have.

I will post some more info and poss pics tomorrow

Problem is I'm very limited in room where the case goes and can't fit it anywhere else so this case seemedthe best option for me as it stated that it could house a tad in the top which it can just a shame they don't give you a link to one that will fit

Will also post the details of the kit and water block that I have to see if it's upto the job of cooling the quad core and gpu

Have seem pics of your set up and that would be ideal but I haven't got anymore room at the rear ideally a bigger full case would have been perfect but this was the biggest I could fit in

Thanks for your help
