Guys

Far short of getting rid of my Coolmaster Cosmos I would like your suggestions ofr mounting my rad.

I am not keen on the idea of mounting the rad inside the case or hanging on the back ( my dremel and hacksaw skills are rubbish ) so i thought of mounting most of the kit in some kind of external box with just the hose going in and out of the back of the Cosmos , it has two made holes in for tubing .

Now this box must contain the following .

Thermochill P120.3 Rad
3x Yate Loons
Laing DDC 12V ULTRA Pump & Plexitop
Danger den 5.25 drive bat res ,,but I can change that .

Does anyone sell a rad box that would be in keeping with a Tower case (silver or black ) ?

Or your suggestions please ?

It's possible to get small cases designed to fit under Lian Li cases holding Phase Change units but they're not cheap and you don't have a matching case. Are you up to making a box out of MDF? Many others have done it. Have you thought of using a Swiftech RadBox to mount the rad on the back of the case. If you already have tube holes, you wouldn't have to touch a dremel.

Funny you should say that I have a rad box but just don't like the arrangement .

if you've not bought the case why not just buy something that can take it inside easily like a tj07? no dremmeling and its all inside.

Would love to ,,however for the time being I cant commit to £217 for a TJ07 and would only get around £50 for the Cosmos in MM .

depends on what rad mounting plate i use. i have 1 plate that exposes the fans & 1 that exposes the rad instead by putting the fans inside the case.

Sounds good but whats the better thermal solution ?

Thx Vog ,,your a star matey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gives me a real good idea of what I need to do .

Where would i get someone to cut me up some alloy plate for the box do you think ? All the angle and the rivets I could do myself .
