That’s pretty cool!

For a long time I’ve been toying with the idea of watercooling a MicroATX slimcase like this one:

http://usa.aopen.com/products_detail.aspx?Auno=2098&mdstl=226

It’s under 4” tall, 13 1/4” wide, and about 16” deep. I own the predecessor to the H360...the H340. I was going try watercooling the H340 but there were things about it that didn’t work well. The H360 just might be the ticket.

From your case it looks like I can install a Storm with 3/8” tubing and be able to bend it to fit in a slim case.

Could you measure and tell me the min # of inches above the motherboard you need for the tubing to not be kinked?

yeah, w/c a full tower isn't anything. w/c a small case is something! :D

my silverstone LC-20M case is about 6" height from the bottom to the top. now minus about 1/2" of motherboard standsoff and stuffs, you'll have 5-5.5" of room to work around.

Is she finalized and on active duty yet? :bday:
yup, she's in full duty now!! :D just needs to work a bit more on the software side (e.g. different plug-in, add-on, etc.).
