Liquid cooling in APEX MI-008

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I know this case has a space for a 120mm fan on the side. I also know it has a bit of space ahead of the motherboard, underneath the optical drive bay. I'm wondering if you fan fit a 120mm rad in this case. I would like to do a small custom loop, with the pump and reservoir ahead of the motherboard, or an Antec 620 closed loop. Is either of these possible? Nevermind feasible.

Anything is possible. I dont think it would be practical.

If you dont put something in the 5 1/4 bay you might have something. I wouldn't bet on anything fitting in off the bat without some modding. Take a look at my rig. Passively cooled same case.

looks good, but I'm going for a 2.5 inch drive and not 3.5 I'm thinking of a radiator where your HDD is.
