Would anyone be willing to cut my case in Sheffield?

Felix E · 10 May 2007 at 20:59

I'm just wondering if a forum member might be able to do me a massive favour. Basically I want to watercool my P182, but I lack the necessary tools and experience to cut it properly without messing it up.

I want to mount a dual rad on the top and so I need a hole cut for an extra 120mm fan - the case already has one 120mm fan in the top. I'd need a couple of smaller holes for tubing too.

Like this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17643648&highlight=watercooled+p180

but a dual rad.

Obviously I'd get it all marked out and ready before hand, I just need some help with the actual cutting.

I live in Sheffield, I don't have a car but could get taxi/bus etc. I can't afford to pay a lot but I'm sure I could give a bit to anyone willing to help me out! Enough for a few drinks at least

I'd really appreciate it as I have no tools whatsoever, and I've tried cutting a case before with a jigsaw and it didn't go very well!

Alternatively, can anyone suggest someone who would do this kind of work and cheaply in Sheffield?

Cheers,
Felix

Cheers, I have seen that one though. Problem is I don't want to spend lots of money buying a drill etc that I will need once and then not again for years.

try and get hold of feser1 its about £8 a tub and its uv reactive also non conductive with all the addatives needed for your loop

Felix E · 15 May 2007 at 00:41

Thanks for that, I may go with MCT-5 tho tbh as I want to buy all my tubing/clamps etc from one place for ease and to cut down on delivery charges. Online store I'm looking at has MCT-5 or 40 or that smoothy water stuff.

will 945ml be enough to fill my loop?

Dual rad, res, pump, cpu block and tygon 1/2" tubing..

fesser 1 usually comes in 1 ltr and is usually not enough for a single loop, especially if leaks show up, so it would be best to get 2 945ml bottles

Thanks for replies people, and thank you so much for the offer of help Ichabod!

I've actually decided to go with a Mozart TX case now as it will allow me to do everything internally, I just love the hugeness of it - it's like a desk extension!

Cheers,
Felix
