Hey Brampton boy, keep it up...

i have a very similar case. I'd like to c how you're going to mount ur rad since i'm not quite sure where to put mine (2x120mm heatercore). I've put my watercool project down for the next 3 months due to school so hopefully i'll b ready by the time i start back up. Keep us posted!

I have a case almost exactly like that, the Antec P160W. What I did is I gutted it completely, put in my PSU, positioned the rad inside up under the top of the case to see how much space and clearence I'd have, and marked it on the top with a pencil (where I'd have to cut). After I got it marked, taped off to protect the metals, I used a hole saw to start cutting points and a jigsaw with an aluminum cutting blade to cut out the rad's fan holes.

These thermaltake cases are great for watercooling, there 22" in Depth...... I can fit a PCP&C 1KW and fit BIX-2 with no problems.

Yup

but its good, gives me more time to think thing threw. Rad placement is futile.

Adam, the more details and pictures you have about the modifications you do to get the radiator in place on the top of the case will be helpful for everyone. Take pictures of multiple angles. Giving yourself time to think this THROUGH will help too

Looking good. Im using the same radgrill myself

-aDaM^ · Mar 31, 2006

They cheated, they didnt finish the back of the radgrillz, oh well dont see it anyway.

Perium · Mar 31, 2006

Looks nice, never heard of a radgrill before

-aDaM^ · Mar 31, 2006

Alright guys. I got the RadGrillz grill today. I got it mounted, heres some pics

Heres which Dremelbit I used, worked great. I cut the top in under 10min.

This is how i masked the top, so I wouldnt damage the top after cutting.

Finished marking it, ready for dremel!

First two cuts complete!

Finished the cuts!

Its fits good
