thats what ive been looking at, looks pretty tight. is there any way to mount a 2x120mm rad at the top below the big fan?

look up the HAF932 - room for a 3x120 rad without any mods up top... and more if you get creative

^ my thoughts on it are, it's ugly as mess (IMO) and only has one spot to easily mount a dual 120mm rad and no other real place to put one. Quote:

Aspire hates the 1200 apparently it's no good for w/c although I don't know why. Personally I just think it's very ugly.

No.1 you want the cool water coming from the RAD to go straight to your CPU. | |
