I hate to tell you people but some cases don't fit the chevette heater cores, thats why I was so pi**ed about it when I received mine. There was no way it would fit in my case but now I am building an external setup so I will be able to use it. But as I have said before the cheapest is not always the best choice for people.

And for you people that wonder how it won't fit in my case see the pics...

I just got my Black Ice Micro 2. I will post results when I set it all up. Still waiting for the white water from dtek. Also I am rebarbing it to 1/2 since it is 3/8.

This is why you measure and re-measure before buying. I do not recall anyone ever saying that the Chevy Chevette core will fit all case's..... Those pictures are hard on the eyes. I can not gather much info. from either photo......

Remember very few case's are designed for water-cooling. In fact I would guess less than 1/10 of 1 percent is built ground up for water-cooling. You have to mod the case to fit. Click on my link in my sig to see extreme modding to place a core inside a case. I hope you did not just buy the core because someone recommended the core.
