    hey guys got a question, i wait to set up a loop in a shuttle believe its a SN145G2? so i would like to know wat the smallest pump, block i can get? iv got a 80mm black ice rad lieing around will that on its own be good enough, iv got a XP-M 2500 to put in it and i know that will drop the temps at stock speeds and volts, may even push it back up to 2.4GHz?

    Go 10mm it will be easy to cool, probably a lang or a C-MAG would do the job

    Any small-bore system will work nicely. An 80mm fan rad will not be enough for cooling though.

    Agreed, I'd try and make an aluminium bracket or something similar to hold a BIX onto the back.

    it is a xpc SN41G2, that is on its way. is there a way of mounting a rad in the top with moving the PSU and still being able to use the 5 1/4 bay?

    You can mount a single 120mm rad off the back of the shuttle if you build some custom mounting plates.

    Four holes and some long stand-off's would be enough...
    Or you could go for a large passive radiator like the Zalman reserator, Just fit the blocks and route the hoses out the back, easy as.

    i like that idea, bit of a side track here, the shuttle has a 250w PSU and iv got a 68gt to put in it. now are these PSU any good? coz there is alot of 650w OMG look at at my flashy lights etc but there about as good as a 300w even less.

    The shuttle PSU will take everything you can fit in a normal shuttle.

    don't think so... the 80mm version might... but then again it's not upgradeable
