there are more pics here http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews/raidmaxcobra/ , and details.

My question is , Can I install my WC system on my current case , or should I buy a full tower case?
BUT if i will buy a new case i wont have the money for a wc system and i will have to wait couple of months till i will get it back.
(I dont work i just saved my money for it :D )

Thanks

what is better a heatercore or a rad?

In most cases a heatercore because they are less restrictive. I think Thermochill's rads are about the same performance as a equal sized heatercore though.

Imber, I don't know where you got the impression that Swiftech blocks are $80. The Swiftech block in particular that we are talking about is the MCW-6002. It can be had for $40-$50, and it performs as well as the D-tek White Water in most setups. To let you know, the White Water out performs the TDX. The TDX only comes out even with the #5 nozzle and a big pump.

Anyways, you could fit the BIX II in the top of the case squeezed between the 5.25" drive bays. You would have to cut 2 120mm blow holes in the top.
