I'll just wait for everything to come in and see if I can get away without mounting this thing on the rear... thanks
Isn't it funny, when you have such a large case and it still isn't big enough.
So excited!!!
LOL how quickly your tune changed, I agree with your decision though, I had my 360 rad mounted on the back of one of my other cases and it just looked wrong. In my eyes, besides cooling the parts better, watercooling should also make the rig look better. Getting a case that fits your parts will look much more appealing. Plus new toys are always fun to get.

the only thing i see that with an 80mm thick monsta, you need some serious 38mm fannage, or go push/pull... which brings the thickness to +120mm... that is a LOT of space required.
But if it doesn't fit.... there's always the Clarkson solution
Hahahaha
Well, little update, Mr. GTX JackBauer up there ^ convinced me on the 900D.... So that is on order... lol.
No more Haf-x. I figured I'm going to redo the whole loop, I may as well do it right the first time.
Well all I did was open up your mind to the possibilities. You were going to hit a wall with the Haf-X with anything else you'd want to add to it. Say another GPU for the loop which would than need more heat surface etc. Plus you made it clear you hate anything outside the case. I did also bring up the Primo at a more affodable option but you insisted the 900D got you all fuzzy and warm inside. I said hey its your money, do as you may. Roger that,
The monsta will fit for sure, and I am going to use noiseblockers for the fans, and start out with just a push for right now, but very soon I will order the other 3 for the pull.
The UT60 240 will be in a push / pull with bitfenix spectre pros.
Wait, wait, WHAT?! You're going to get me in trouble here.
Phew.......got that out of the way.
Is that the biggest 80mm rad you have? (I forgot the biggest size of the monsta and too lazy to tab out and search for 30 secs) You better be careful fitting such thick rads in any case. The 900D has lots of room down there but once you go push n pull on thick rads they either won't fit or almost touching. Measurements and plan ahead my son.
Key thing here, look at other watercooled 900D build logs and those with monstas in them. A lot of people don't do that. I sure did on every build log and grabbed a bunch of ideas and made it my own.
I'm debating putting the monsta in the basement in a push, and the 240 in the front right after the stock 120's in front of the 900d, with them in a pull. to exhaust.
