I just got a new case from my brother for my bday - yippee me!
it's this one -
ams1006 w/window
excellent case by the way.
here's a pic of my external -
I keep it in a closet on the other side of the wall. There is a small window in the closet that I keep open so the external is exposed to the Philly-freekin cold air.
here's my dilemma -
do I keep the external and just keep using it as is with my new case, mb, opty 148? Or do I cut up my new case and put all of it internally. If I did that I will make a new shroud of clear acrylic so it will match the front of the case.
I want to keep it as quiet as possible but with the rad I have I'll probably have to stay with 38mm fans(right?). here's a pic of the rad -
It's about 2" thick and pretty restrictive. I believe it's a 2-342 single pass. I got it on ebay - $8.
If I swap out the rad, what do you all suggest? again, I want it as quiet as possible. The blocks I'm using are diy 'Rotor' style pin grid copper blocks. Tubing is 7/16 Masterkleer and my pump is a mcp350 with inlet mod done.
lmk what you guys suggest.
