Hello modders, I´m back with another project, my second one "tHe tUbE" is stopped at the moment. You can read why in that project log. But I still work on it and I hope to finished it this year But now to the current project: I was looking for a big Aluminium Tower with enough place for a 240mm Radiator and Watercoolingsystem. This Watercoolingsystem should cool my HDDs, my CPU and my VGA. Good, now to my components: I found this case in an Thermaltake Alu Tower from the Armor Series: Front View: Back view: Left side view: Left view inside: More infos here by Thermaltake so I think this Case is big enough for a big Watercoolingsystem.
