just wondering, is there any way of water cooling your system without modding the case? im thinking of switching over from air cooling but i dont really want to butcher my Lian-Li PC-70...:confused: also, how much does it usually cost for the parts to build a water cooling setup?

I have the same case as you and i'm currently modding my case to fit my aquastealth watercool kit. and you dont really have to mod the case to go with watercooling, the pc-70 is HUGE and has plenty of space, it all depends on how nice you want it to look :) My kit fits in the pc-70 without modding it but i am so that it'll look decent (plus i'm making a window on a side, so i want it to look nice LOL) Well i hope that answered your first question.

Now how much can you get a watercool kit for? that all depends on how much you're willing to spend, you can get a nice kit with everything you need from $120-$300 or if you dont want to go with a kit, you can go to a Auto junk yard and pick up a Transmission heatercore (the size varies so you can pick one that will fit inside your case) you can get one for $20-$30 then just get your self 1 or 2 120mm fans, a water block (from $16-$40) and a water pump :) (depends on how good you want the pump you could spend from $40-$100+ then homedepot and get some hosing (i just got my self some yesterday) 8" for $4 ;) and there you go!

Well i hope i've help you at all and good luck setting your system up :mad:

if you manage to get hold of a small radiator, you can put it in front of an 80mm fan, i know senfu do a radiator that uses a 80mm fan. the radiator wil be the hardest bit, and you will have to make a hole in you case for the pump wire
