P160 good for WC?

hmmmmmm so you just removed the HDD tray in there? And how does the radiator and 120mm fan get in front of the HDD cage? There's no much space in there!

I neeeeeed pictures at this point

I cut out the top of my p160 to squeeze in a dual heatercore taking up a few 5.25 bays, will have computer done in a week or so.

I am going to change out that blue 120mm fan and put one of the white ones there, put 2 black 120mm fans on the rad, change the front blue LEDs to white ones, and then just add a few more seperate white accent LEDs to the case.

That is just really sweet!!!

Great placement of the pump, I might just do that if I decide to go for a dual 120mm setup, although I think it will be somewhat noisy for my taste!

Thanks so much for the pictures! now its very clear on how to setup everything, and it looks like the p160 is defintely a good case for WC!

O man the 120mm fans arent too loud. But Im coming from my old setup of 5 80mm fans and one 92mm Vantec Tornado CPU fan

Seriously, I heard my HD "crunch" for the first time ever haha

Thanks sethmo!

Great news on the DDC12V! I e-mailed Danger Den asking how much is the pump rated in dB and they reported 24-26dB ...so it is really quite!

Looks like I have a winner here....
