Antec 1200 Radiator Mount.

Thread Starter 
Where would be a good place to put a radiator internally on an Antec 1200. I have 3 watercooled GTX 285 2gbs, and a watercooled Core i7 920. On the front of the case, I have one blu-ray drive, one hard drive, and a 3 bay waterfall reservoir. Thank you very much!

I would say the front is the only place to do it, I'm sure you can put it on the roof but that would require a decent amount of modding.

Wrong, the rear was basically made for that, and on the top a 220 will fit with just the need for 2 new holes on the top

Front triple


rear dual

He said internally, but I will admit I didn't know you could put one inside on the top. Is that your rig? Its...beautiful.

Theres 2 fan slots on the rear end, 120mm. As pics above show
You could mod the top fan to fit a dual rad under the 230mm fan.
In the front you can do either dual or 3x rad. But with 3x rad, i think you wont be able to fit in a dvd player.
This is the reason why i drifted away from the antec 1200, not the best at watercooling, more aircooling case
BTW nice system specs..

The front with a triple swiftech only left me with 2 drive bays open, but only after moving the radiator up half an inch.

There you have it, so then i guess 3x rad will fit in the front with extra bays, then i would:
Use the back for a dual rad (pull or pushs up to you) and Get a 3x rad in the front with a pull and push method.
edit: I reliezed in the pics... Dont forget that you got to have some bays for the harddrives as well, so i would plan carefully
