    What I am looking to do is mod the rear fan placement to accommodate a 120mm radiator of the Silverstone Tundra TD03. Currently this is placed in the roof of the Parvum which of course blocks the fan placement alongside and spoils the look of the PC.

    So i want to remove the two 80mm fans and then fit the Rad/fan of the Tundra. This will involve little more than some hole drilling but wondered if there is a template about to hopefully do a neater job.

    I have some images to give you an idea of where I am at.

    MNPC Tech upload a load of templates for fans in this section a while back which can be downloaded and printed off.

    THIS is it

    It turned out that after taking out a bunch of screws just to get to the area that I need to be in that I have not got the space for the radiator. No way I could fit it in the space available.
    So I think that it has come to new case time.

    You can always buy one of the mini rads that have 80mm fans on them. Thats one option I suppose.

    This is an AiO cooler mate. I have several cases I am looking at at the moment just have not researched them fully as yet.

    Have you considered a cut and shut job with your AIO? I believe the TD03 has a 8mm id tubing (I have cut up the TD02) and you could replace the tubing and use a double 80mm rad that fits.

    I love that case.

    Any links to this process, but to be honest I think that replacing the case is preferred as I am beg to realky dislike this case. Love acrylic, love the colours but really hate certain design aspects.

    That second link is very useful as I was concerned about refilling and air bubbles. This is a tempting project but that would commit me to this case. Will need to give it some thought.

    Thanks for the info.
