    Or you could sacrafice a few of your drive bays.........

    Dont worry, you will still have 50 or so left:D

    was looking at that it would be abit tricky but would be well posibal.

    i could by 2 hard drive bay holders thing and just pull the bottem of 1 and fit them together and then place the rad perfectly in that.

    ps what case you using cozzy.

    LOL

    I have been dreading this day............

    I am using a bog standard, cheapo, atx case that I got from Marx computers:D

    Its a disgrace to be honest, is falling apart, the front door is broken, and I have a front case fan glued to the case:D

    I am thinking of getting a Coolermaster Praetorian:)

    P.s If you are at Gamecon, You will see it:D

    Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At the bottom of your case is a perfect opening for a dual rad, just remove the existing mesh and install the wheels.

    with the wheels there would be enough its a rad its does well with little airflow. I cut a hole in the top of my case and regretted it after.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow

    well ive never done it, but i have 2 stackers and they are soo easy to work with because of the size, id sat it would be easy enough to be honest

    you'd just need supports coming out from the sides of the drive rail then bolted into the rad enclosure.

    would look sweet

    personally i think the rad mounted on the bottom of the case is ugly... BUT it is the easiest option


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,815 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Put an auxilliary 2nd 1x120mm rad in place of the 120mm fan on the rear panel.I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't released a 1-3 x 5.25" bay rad option (air being sucked in through front panel, fan is inside the case).

    Is stacking 2 rads ontop of each other with one fan pulling air through them feasible?
