Grand Designs/Water Cooling a CM Storm Scout

So, I have been thinking a lot about my dream PC I want to build when with all my work money. Although my parents wont let me spend any money on PC parts etc. until I have bought myself a car.

So this leaves me lots of time to plan my epic setup
.

Now I absolutely love the CM Storm Scout Case and think it looks amazing.
And in my epic setup, when it comes to fruition I would like to try my hand at water cooling my cpu, gpu etc.
I also would like the water cooling to be completely internal for mobility purposes.

Here is a picture of the inside of the case: http://i49.tinypic.com/rvgdcj.jpg

It got me thinking about how it was achievable in that small space without too much modding.

Now I will only be using one drive bay and very few hard drives so I came up with this:

There are 4 Drive bays and the top one will be used for DVD Drive, that means in the next two I can put in a:

And in the last bay I can put in a res for the Water cooling system.

Now with that Internal HDD kit it leaves me free to remove the HDD Cage which gives me options to put WC components there. I was thinking I could put stackable 120 Rads:

and a pump in that area.

Do you think this could achieve decent results at all???

As I said I won't be trying to do this really soon as I need to buy a car but please humor me and my ambitions.

stackable 120's aren't really that effective. If you must go for a single 120 rad, go for a black ice GTX360 qith some Ultra Kaze 3KRPMs on it.

the case itself isn't super wc friendly, though it has been done (ignore bad music)




if you put 3 single Black Ice 360s on the front intake + exhaust, you'll be able to cool your cpu, depending what it is. and you'll have tubing running everywhere.

If you really are going to have some money saved up before you buy this, consider another case (Corsair Obsidian is great for a single cpu loop, Cosmos S + HAF932 are good alternatives. there's a thread on the different available cases).

Hypothetically, you should be able to do: res > pump > rad1 > rad2 > rad3 > cpu > GPU > res

depending what your GPU is of course.

and another thing, be sure to fill out your PC specs so we know what you're dealing with, and so we can know if your money should be better spent on essential upgrades rather than water cooling parts.

I was just wondering how it was possible and I wanted to attempt it in the first half of next yr. But if ur going to run a CPU and GPU loop in ur scout case I would really appreciate seeing pics of the setup thnx!
