I recently purchase an absolutely huge case from ebay, it's got 11 5.25" bays (I'll post pics once I have a chance to take them) I'm planning on doing the following:
1) I think I've got enough room below the motherboard panel to put my PSU down there, otherwise I can mount it in the front of the case or something.
2) I'm going to seal off the area where the PSU currently is and the area above it up to the roof of the case with aluminum panels.
3) I'm going to put a 2-342 HC on the 2 sides of the case as intake vents (need to figure out how to seal the area around the edges, neoprene foam?)
they'll be in series, one will have a fill/bleed port that will run to an access @ the top of the case.
4) I'm going to put my Iwaki Md-20RT in there with the HC and mount 3-4 120mm fans (the awesome ones from the classifieds) as exhausts on the roof of the case. I need to get a variable resistor that I can mount on one of the 5.25" bay covers. I belive I was looking for a 4ohm 20watt one to convert 4 120mm fans to around 7v
5) flow will go Iwaki->HC->HC w/ fill/bleed->Storm G4 (gonna get soon hopefully)->GPU->Pump->and so on
6) I'm hoping to pass tubing through the enclosure with panel-mount barbs. Any suggestions on those, I think they're hard to find on mcmaster.
I was going to use my huge blower, but it's not going to fit. Did these drawings up in paint, hope that they're self-explanatory with my plans above.
(They're as much to scale as I could manage, I think I did 20 pixels to an inch)
