I just replaced my Chieftec Dragon with a Yeong Yang case - (directron)
I had the Innovatek radiator and water block with an Ehiem 1048. Everything fit but it was just too crowded. Switched to the Yeong Yang cube and added water cooling to the Northbridge. Replaced the Innovatek radiator with the Dual Radiator. This radiator is huge but fits perfectly in the front of the case on the motherboard side. Two papst 120mm fans on the radiator.
The front of the case also has about a 1" area where I cut and placed a piece of furnace filter - the plastic brillo kind that you can see through and doesn't obstruct air flow.
Since I now had extra room I was able to mount the Eheim on a Noise Control No Vibes hard disk silencer. This totally eliminated the vibration from the Eheim pump.
Case temps are now at 33c with Athlon 2600 @11.5x190fsb at 36c. So the new case and arrangement reduced my cpu temp by 4c even though I added the Northbridge. My disk drive temps also dropped by 6c.
All-in-all a great case for water cooling.
