Hey all

I am looking at modding my Raven 02-e White and would like some input ...


What would be the best way to fit a 120mm rad in the highlighted area below so that the radiator is visible without there being open holes next to it




All input would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards.

You can line up the rad with a support frame like this:
http://www.aquatuning.de/product_info.php/info/p11252_XSPC-120mm-Universal-Radstand.html

You fit the stand somewhere in the bay making a rad line-up perfectly with the front.

Easy way to cool your rig is to hang a rad outside the case with this:

I wouldnt use it as a support.
Its rather strong, but a tiny TINY tear can rip open over time easely.

You could use one of those supports and finish it up with mesh on the front though.
