Help with positioning H20 setup within case

[AlanD911]

Ok guys here's a link to my case http://images.tigerdirect.ca/itemdetails/DRG/blue-wg-1.jpg

I plan on using this within the box to cool the cpu

Pump: Swiftech MCP600 v2.0 Inline 12v 160GPH Pump Your Price: $79.98 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)
Water Block Chipset: Swiftech MCW6002-64 A64 & Opteron CPU Water Block $63.98 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)
Water Block GPU: Swiftech MCW50 GPU Waterblock $54.98 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)
Radiator: HW Labs: Black Ice *BLUE* XTREME rev2 Radiator $89.68 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)
Radiator Shroud: BLUE-UV MiniCoolshroud Kit Retail - Coolingworks $13.50 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)
Fan:ThermalTake Smart Blue 120mm LED Case Fan Blue $17.99 (www.tigerdirect.ca)
Reservoir: Swiftech 5.25" BayRes Resevoir $24.98 (www.bigfootcomputers.com)

HOWEVER I also want to run another seperate line for DUAL 6600 gt vid cards. I was wondering how could I effectively fit that above setup in my box and also how would it be possible to also cool 2 6600gt vid cards in a sli configuration within the same box?

thanks all

Remove the bottom 3.5" drive cage for starters. Mount the Rad there. Push or pull shouldn't matter too much, whatever you like better looks wise.

You've got a couple of options for the pump. Either on the floor of the case, ot you can try and "hide" it in one of the drive cages. Personally i like mounting them on the floor of my case.

Stick the res in a drive bay that is HIGHER that the the other point in the loop. For drive bays, this will make belleding the system 100% easier.

Mount your water blocks.

Measure the tubing you will need and start cutting. My suggestion for your loop would be as follows....

Res -->Pump--> Rad --> CPU --> GPU --> Chipset-- > res


Depending on how cramped the space is you may need to get a bit creative with the tubing and possibly some elbows.



As far as cooling two cards in SLI, I'm not sure there are water blocks that will fit between the two cards. Danger DEN has a GPU water block that looks like the barbs will clear the SLI connection, but I'm not sure if it would fit bewtween the two cards. First glance looks like it should, but don't quote me on that.

if you are going to cool two vid cards too, you'll more than likely want to consider a second loop, or a second rad and pump in seriers

very cool thanks for the great advice. i've decided that for my first loop i'm just going to stick to a simple CPU water block and maybe a chipset block also for the heck of it. Since there isn't adequate proven technology to cool SLI (liquid style) as of yet I will just stick to the basics :). also im abit confused about the way i should mount the fan on the rad. which would provide best flow?

fan>rad>fan
fan>rad
rad>fan

also Will I have enough space to maybe put in a black ice xtreme 2?
