Do you have any pics of the actual mounting? My pump currently resides there but will probably move to main chamber after i redo the setup. I like how clean it looks my looks real messy mainly cause after the last strip down i reused my pipe and sorta just threw it together so it worked rather than for looks (leaving that till i cooled the extra 580 which.....got delayed alot lol) so yeah i think it looks horrible as is but it gets the job done
When i redo it i'll be switching all the barbs to Compressions finally, probably those Monsoon Free center compression fittings as i've heard they're really good, plus they're tooled, Coloured and physically smaller than the Bitspower ones (main reason why i never changed, always thought the BT ones looks too chunky
). Plus i'll have to Single sleeve the second 580's PCI-e cable to match (Thinking of making them all "Spew out" from the lower grommet holes rather than from behind the board if it looks any good). I only just found out about those Mayhems Aurora and Pastels (been out of this game too long
), they look freakin awesome, i'm thinking, Clear tubes with Sunset Yellow Pastel, that stuff looks freakin sweet (or possibly an aurora, but i thought i read somewhere its more of a "show" coolant and not ment for long term use? Would hate to have to dump that stuff every couple months)
I was worried bout the size of a 140 in the rear too but seen a few pic's/videos of other peoples setups (few have gone with the 140 and mounting a high powered fan on the outside of the rear of the case to make its footprint smaller which i thought of doing) and it doesn't intrude too much so
ps, Ambient temps come down a lot when its actually summer cause of the air con, really only just getting into the heat now, was a bit early for Air con i thought
)
Heres a few snaps i just took with the phone
I've got no pics of the mounting, its kind of just floating i did have a 120mm fan cover there to prop it up, but it was a tight squeeze,
Aesthetics were on the agenda when considering my setup, but its a ***** to drain.... hence the 2 (going nowhere) tubes - air in, water out...
You'd prob get away with a 140 at the rear with a fan on the outside of the case, and why not put another 120/140 at the bottom, you'll have to be creative with the fittings, but there is a way (Fittings are the most expensive parts of the build imho (excluding the hardware...) between 3-6euro PER!! fitting!)
