    It depends how thick the MDF will be. Bitspower do make bulkhead fittings which are a bit longer but I can't find them at the moment on the Bitspower site but they're similar in length to these

    those from Alphacool look really long, they might work i think.
    I'm currently using 18mm mdf but I think I might switch to 9mm, I might go smaller if I can...

    Found the Bitspower ones, thread length is 15mm but you'd need a bit of that to screw the locking ring on.

    Edit: These have a thread length of 20mm but the finish is horrible. I might still have a couple that I never used once I saw them although I might have given them away already.

    Looks like its just a little to short!

    I could use 6mm mdf or make one of the sides thinner.. One of the sides will always remain hidden so won't matter if its a little ugly.

    I dislike the looks on that second fillport..

    Alphacool generally make decent gear, so I wouldn't worry about that.

    Can't you just counterbore the underside of the fillport hole in the desk to accommodate the thread depth of a fillport?

    Yeah I could just counter drill it, I'll buy my parts before I start work on the desk this time.

    Do you guys think the colours of Alphacool will match the bitspowers?
    So Chrome vs Silver shining
