well you have a couple of options here...first is find some space in your case to fit a larger rad...the 120 will never be enough for a CPU/GPU loop and putting it on the back really isnt that bad if you do it right. the fans can be "under" the rad on the back of the case. the tubing will run directly from the rad to the case and be very hard to get to even with little paws. Leaks are not really a problem if you use any kind of hose clamps. I use zip ties and its super hard to get the tubing off without them so with them on I would say its nearly impossible.

Most kits are bad, Petra's does have the only trusted kits but seem to be out of stock most of the time.

Keep reading and asking questions, you will be happy you did when you get done with the build. Most everyone here will tell you the same info about what to order and how to set it up.

I might just go for that when i get my next paycheck Dar_T

What about the actual coolant, I got a free litre of the aul thermaltake green stuff, it looks funky in the tower tbh like but idk if its good or not for the internals of the surfaces it comes in contact with, read somewhere coolants can over time corrode the inside

Dar_T

Go get some distilled water and either put in 2 drops of pt nuke (you have to buy from Petras tech or another retailer) or some thing silver like a silver dollar.

I am considering your options Dar_T, quite extensively.

I do have one question though. would this tower be any better than my current setup?
thermaltake Kandalf LCS ATX Full Tower Case:
http://www.advancetec.co.uk/acatalog...bws_black.html

Looks better and it means less assembly lmao.

Im still tryna weigh up the options like. I could always use the 760i on this family PC we have, but it runs so quite anyway it don't really make a diff other than the sexy blue LED's lol

Dar_T

Are you asking if the build in LCS is better than that custom build? Absolutely not. If your talking about cases your case and the kandalf are both full tower so it just boils down to which look you prefer.
