Going Water! Suggestions?!

Recommended Posts

I plan to mod this case for watercooling. Looking for a grill for the top so I can mount my 2x120 rad. Anyone know someone that can professionally cut the holes for the rad and the case door (window mod). I plan to keep this case for a while.

 

Any suggestions on parts or modding the case.

 

Parts planned:

Block: DD TDX

Pump: D5

Res: DD Dual bat res.

Rad: 2x120 (Bonn. rad)

Hose: Masterkleer 7/16

Water: Distilled and Zerex

Looking for cool 2 x 120 radiator grills (black)

 

Ive watercooled pc's before so im familar with the setup.

THERMOCHILL PA 120.2 if you have enough

as well as a storm/aquaextreme mp-05 will perform slightly better than the TDX...

however my tdx is doing pretty good... specially if you dont have that much to spend

also as recommended and i can tell u from experience the stealth gts 240 is great and is dirt cheap...thats why i got it..$$VS PERFORMANCE u cant beat it

if you need a custom cut, I got a guy here who can do it if you provide exactly what you need done (he's an expert metal guy but he's not an expert computer guy so he'll only be able to imagine what you put down as exactly what you want)

 

He can cut pieces too (like I tend to remove the top of my case and just have him cut it instead of taking the entire thing to him...because he just removes the top and cuts it then screws or rivets it back on anyway lol)

Thermochill can't be beat. But my personal recommendation is the Coolingwork CoolRad 22-T. There are graphs out there of how it beats the BB BIX Pro... slightly. Its also very cheap, although its not available from DD. Its one of those smaller companies with a really good product.

I think I am going to go with the GTS Stealth 240.

Sounds good, I am going to look around the Chicago area for someone that can cut. If not, could I send you a case door and top panel. I could draw out what I would like cut on the door and the top panel on the backside. Thanks for the info :)

 

Here is a good templete if you plan on using an AC-Ryan Radgrillz

Stealth GTS 240 is great. I got the x-flow version and I'm really enjoying it. The only down side I can possibly see with it is that it has a ton of fins on it and might be difficult to clean. I'm really not looking forward to that :(
