Top mount radiator - what would I need?

7 x120 rad
That's alot of rad!

Looks cool Apollo4g! I think my clumsy hands would have difficulty working with all the tubing you have managed to fit inside there - Armor has lots of space though (I have the steel version of the Armor).

yup it was alot of tubing to fit in there JayDee!!
Its the 3/4OD as well!!! Tygon and Masterkleer mixed.
It wasnt easy at all! but i did it

Yup thats alot of rad haha, i have 4 90CMF SilenX fans on the 480GTX as well, it cools really well, but i can put them at half speed via a fan controller and still have the same temps. because its overkill anyway

Nice steel!!! im planning on a very big case mod on my armor, where im going to just slice up the door to make a big acrylic window, and also cut out some drive bays that dont use at all to fit some of the WC gear much better.
Pheeww i got aluminum steel would be impossible to mod!!

Hehe...
Don't I know it! I love my Armor but cutting thru all that steel is a bit of fun :p

/start Mr. Rogers
Can you say "time to go to Canadian Tire to buy more dremmel cutoff discs" boys and girls?
I knew you could!

lol im planning to use a hack-saw anyway

ok will try this again.. posted once but it got lost somehow..

i did a top mount rad. I recommend using a bi-metal hole saw rather than a dremel. if there is a princess auto near you they have a 7 piece set for $20 right now on sale.. otherwise one saw will be about 15-20 minimum. however they make great circle holes.

put rubber grommets in the holes and it will be perfect.. do the same for the hole for the wires.

Very nice Somed00d

I can't pursue the hole-saw route though as I've already made the cuts.
I'm doing the elevated rad along with another little mod so I've been working on that even though I don't have all the parts to install the H20 yet. I hope I'll put everything together this weekend if NCIX ships soon :)

I'm looking forward to seeing pix :)

Looks great!!!!

How was the top of the case attached? Was it rivets, and if so, how did you re-attach it?

actually it was mounted with screws.. best $40 case i ever bought lol. has hard drive mounting rails and everything.. its a bit tight for watercooling but everything fits good..

I've started taking pics

No guarantee for quality though as I'm terrible with tools and an H20 newb so not a promising combination... /cry

One thing I love about the Armor case is that it has lots of room inside and so it should be easy to work with the H20
