Watercooling time!!!

What is a good mod thread without talking about watercooling! I know ottolove it:) and I am actually building mine ( always running into issue -_- ) Ask question, post your loop, and let us double check everything for you and give you some advice! And maybe soon we will have some interesting case mod in there:)

Is it plausible to mount 2 reservoirs on the front corner of a case? For example.

Two of these

on the front of this

And run the pipes through the 2nd from the top 5.25" bay and enter back in through the front plate or side? I think it would be a great concept to do. I'll try and find better pictures and photoshop them together. Until then, sorry.

Sure, anything is possible with a trip to the hardware store and a bit of ingenuity. Off the top of my head I think you might be able to find an inexpensive angle mount that has a cup or saucer to hold a candle. Bore a hole in two of them and use them to capture the res (sandwiched with foam). Or you could get some cheap caulking guns and hack the front cup part off. Those are steel cups with a right angle bit and pre-cut slots or holes, but you'd have to see if the diameter is a match for the res (not sure how big yours is). There are infinitely more options if you just wander around the store a bit.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

Yeah, I think I would make two custom reservoirs to cover the length of the case, either do pin light lighting from within the case, or do a ring of LEDs at the bottom/top to illuminate the fluid in the dark. As you say, possibilities are endless. Thanks for the response.

Nice to see some people have good Loop! For my part I just took myself out of the case. I was in need of some money. It was a nice to have one and I will do it again in future for sure! Blue loop FTW!
