    GuilleAcoustic - Thanks!

    Bygone - too complicated... I tried to see if I can add water cooling to each node, but radiator was too large... these also have to open and close freely, with 1 radiator for all will be too tight. Maybe when I will try the new mobo with double height drawer I will give a try to water cooling again.

    is there no room for a 30mm thick radiator behind the drawer? the miniitx mobo and fullcover Block should not be a issue. but if you get a fullcover block then there would be no heat from motherboard...then its just how much height you have in drawer if you can fit a watercooled memory into the system, i dont see no issue fitting a pump/reservoir into the drawer.

    there are quick disconnect fittings available these days to unplug drawer from radiator without draining it first. like these

    and

    but if you say it cant be done then i believe, i just think Water cooling would be the best option of removing all heat from the drawer with no need for fans inside drawer and only on radiator in back.

    Looking forward to it! I'd test it with your normal height one first, then if you need more room, move to a larger version.

    Just my 2cents :thumb:
