    I started building in april my new watercooling case.

    First, sorry for my English.

    This is the skechup project (the 3 cd-rom drives int the bottom of the case represent a 4 hdd drives watercooling enclosure) :

    I am thinking on the front panel and the case painting. I bought cherry paint but i think i made a mistake :

    Looks good! Must be quite wide if you're having two rads side by side!

    Thanks for the comments.

    I want to paint the frame in black and i found another reference for the cherry paint.
    Finally it looks pretty cool too me. I think i have to try the paint to know the real color.

    Why bother watercooling when you are going to have so many fans?

    Nice work though, love the case design.

    I have already all the watercooling stuff.

    I didn't find a case in witch i can put all of these easily (i don't want a mountain mod's case).

    I have to agree with rainwulf. That many fans will make the case extremely loud. Unless you plan to run them all at very low speeds? That would be an interesting solution.

    Loud or not, it certainly has a lot of potential.

    All fans are 1000/1200 rpm at 12v.
    I run them at 5/7v all the time. With that many rads i don't need to run them at 12v.
    I can hear them now and they make near no noise.

    I really love the concept man, one notice though! These 2x 360's on the front will they blow air inside? If they do thats a huge amount of warm air coming into the case! It would be better if they were on the back pulling air from the case imho. Anw thats an awesome mod I really like it buddy fantastic work so far!
