Can the fan on the waterchill rad be placed on the other side? cos i was thinking aout getting that, but the way the fan is attached means i cant fit the rad to the case.

You cant fit it in there? those are the best cases to put watercoolers in. take out the bottom 3.5 drive bay and stick your radiator right there, stick your pump on the bottom of the case as well.and you can put your res. on the back of the outside of the case or get one that goes in a 5.25 drive bay.
look at the second one on the list.

Thats why you
need to take out the bottom 3.5 drive bay. or you could mount it at the very top of the 5.25 bay but it is better to have it on the bottom cause well of course heat rises and the vents at the bottom aid in cooling.

are you talkin about the ones that are on the front of the inside of the case that hold the part that holds the drive bay in there? if so just take a drill with a bit about that size and just drill it out and then pry it out.

hi did that i also found that if you get a 120mm to 80mm adapter from
www.over-clock.co.uk
you can attach most radiators to the back of you pc case well out the road and they get better air also i think i payed about 8 squid for it works well anyway thats for the ryplies ppl

Wow the cage is not removable...
when I bought my Chieftec case I thought it was silly..but now I think that is one of the best features...

one beef i have with asetek (makers of vapochill) is that they label their water cooling systems as "water chillers" even though they are nothing of the sort. i dont think you'll have any problem fitting that in your case
