Default Thinking about taking a step back

I currently have a Mountain Mods U2-UFO with a PA120.3. It's a great case and I don't think I have to say how great the rad is but I don't know of it's all to my liking.

I bought a new 780i and as a result, the only thing on the radiator now is a Q6600 with a moderate overclock. Needless to say it keeps temps nice and low. MM cases are all about functionality at the cost of looks IMO. I mean let's face it, it's a gigantic cube with windows. I really don't want/need to put the chipset or GPUs on water so I could probably get away with the MCR220 that I have laying around. With that in mind, I've been thinking about putting said radiator in a regular mid/full tower and selling the MM/Thermochill combo.

The TJ07 will take a MCR220 up top nicely and I really like the styling of this case. I know this might seem kind of silly considering the cost of the MM case and Thermochill but now that I have it sitting right in front of me it bugs me.

What would you guys do?

If i was happy with my current case i'd just keep it how it was, or watercool the chipset and a few other things as the loop was before for the sheer fun of it ;-)

It depends how long you have had it.

If you have had it under 3 months i would keep it, you would have lost a substantial amount of money without actually using it. I say stick it out, no point in throwing money away
