Case Feet Mod
To go with the theme of the Build Crystal/Diamond
Diamond feet Look great & offer more height 30mm/3cm + 5mm of soft white Pad,
This Height also serve for a Bottom 120mm Crystal case fan for even better air intake,
Also taking the small bottom case panels off with better access room to undo thumb screws.




The case holes for the Machine Screws are slight smaller so just forced/Re-thread the hole using the new feet Screws.







Case 240mm AIO Radiator Mod

The Tower 100 only supports 120mm AIOs, so I modified the right-side panel by taking out the Tamp glass
from the frame, to remove the Glass you will first have to remove the black screws on the inside of frame & filter,
the glass is hold in tight be hard white paste around all sides, Heater/Hair dryer may help, be careful not to bend the metal frame,
If you do not want to reuse the glass panel then breaking it in a control safe way be easy, like in a box.

Measure the rad screw holes by placing the 240mm rad under the frame & use Cordless drill & 3/4mm metal drill bits.













120mm fan Mounted at the bottom of case


Side Radiator Panel


Printed out some art work on glossy white photo paper, Left a line gap covered with clear film so the LEDs shine through.

I would spray the black screws white on the outer side of the case.

These little details make a nice build into a quality build , now do the that black thumbscrew at the bottom of the case

Look forward to updates.

I was anticipating your saying that, Silver Diamond thumb screws

Update

Swapped out Radiator fans with

Corsair AF120 Slim 120mm Fluid Dynamic Fan - White​

Only 15mm thickness.

I was waiting for this
As stated on YT Steve & Jay Ch & show on Arctic webpage user guide, its ok to run tubes bottom or top mounted to the front case,
mounting tubes at top run the risk of some bubbling sound where the air can't get to the bottom & trapped in the space at top of rad.

 

[Darren_uk]

others looked better

Yes/Agree, but nice for the person who don't want the extra wires & RGB

Waiting on Arctic to bring out White AIO with RGB, much better pump parts = performance in arctic & dead silent.

 

[Darren_uk]

worse case scenario: to have it mounted on bottom of case with a barbie doll laying on top.

 

[Darren_uk]

indeed, just pointing out the worse case scenario & putting figurines in the bottom of case.

 

[Darren_uk]

You figured it out

What temps you getting

35/41c desk top idle 5800x,
R23 64c max running multi core

 

[Darren_uk]

thread bump.

do you think the msi meg coreliquid s280 aio will fit like this please?

Hello Ian, Modding The Tower 100 to FIT 240mm was a feat, 280mm if possible I would not recommend,

Thermaltake now have the Tower 200 that Supports up to 280mm on right hand side, they made the Tower a little bigger to Support 280mm.
I Also have the tower 200 purchased from the EU Thermaltake.DE,

 

[Darren_uk]

thank you for the reply, im going to do a rear mounted aio, a little bit of trimming is only needed from what i can see. then have the rad mounted on brackets at the back where i cant see it

Oh Nice feel free to post some photos here

 

[Darren_uk]
