360 rad Inside a CM Stacker 831 ?? - Overclock.net

waqasr · 3 Weeks Ago

Well i picked up a CM stacker 832 for 22GBP!!! including 7 akasa 22mm fans!!!, although the case is a bit damaged, for the price its a bargain. Now from what i can tell its a full tower but im not sure where to place my pa 120.3. Does anyone have this case with a 360 rad internally mounted?

Unfortunately there's no way to internally mount that rad unless you use up all the drive bays, placing it vertically.

AWww DAM!. I was just looking at my case and realised that the HDD cage can be moved upto the optical drive bay area, what if i moved it there and used the whole bottom of the case to place the rad, i would need to do some dremel work though..i think thats the most feasable idea, unless i mount it outside.

You can mount the rad on the bottom of the case. I've seen it done before. Gimme a sec....

K, here it is

Dunno if you really have to invert it. If you do, thick rads might be kinda hard to mount. But from seeing those pics, you most likely can mount it.

Yup you can do that, but keep in mind it'll block the bottom of your motherboard. There's space to put the fans on the bottom underneath the case to help a bit, but you'll definitely lose the last two PCI slots at least.

..Hmm now that i didnt think of !, thanks for that. That might be a slight problem, the only way i can think of getting around that is to mount the rad underneith the actual case and make some soft of feet to give the case and extra 2 or 3 inches off the ground.

I didn't think of it until I actually did it either
