    I have got all my w/c parts and set em up temp with garden hose :rock:

    Just trying to decide where to put my rad, the front of the case seems very restrictive so i don't really want to put it their, but at the back as in the pic the fan + shroud has to be outside otherwise the CPU socket is covered :/

    I could relace the front pannels with mesh if i knew where to get some that is :/


    any advice?

    Thanks

    I'm thinking about removing the front pannel, moving it up and putting mesh at the bottom, with the tapered edge agaist the mesh, as you can see the aiflow is so small its silly.

    I would cut away some of the front, allowing for more air flow, and put the radiator there.

    Else you could put it up the top in a spare 5 1/2 bay.
