    Water Cooling in a Small Case, where to put a reservoir?

    Yes, I used that to confirm that it doesn't fit anywhere. The case doesn't have a 5.25" bay, so that's out of the question. Maybe a pump/reservoir combo would work because it would replace the pump, but there isn't a specific place to mount it without drilling holes. Right now the pump is...

    Water Cooling in a Small Case, where to put a reservoir?

    Unfortunately not even that will fit. On top, the clearance is a little less than 1.5" and there are metal tabs in the way that make it even less. Down below, it's too wide to fit between the fan and the pump regardless of where I move the pump on its mounting area. However, I might be able...

    Water Cooling in a Small Case, where to put a reservoir?

    Hi, I foolishly decided to put a water loop in a Cougar QBX, but everything seems to be doing just fine there for temperatures with a 240mm radiator. The only problem is I don't have any space to put a reservoir. Here are some pictures of the case to give you an idea of the problem, and I can...

    Liquid cooling for space-reasons, but not for $200.

    Apparently hardly anyone makes 1-fan kits with smallish pumps anymore, but Phobya's should work out: http://www.aquatuning.us/product_info.php/info/p16020_Phobya-Pure-Performance-Kit-120LT.html It's a 60mm thick radiator, but it plus the fan would fit just inside the limit by putting it right...

    Liquid cooling for space-reasons, but not for $200.

    Yes, I got a flexible riser cable for it, and there aren't a lot of configurations I could work out aside from that and flipping over both the motherboard and the videocard, because the cable isn't long or flexible enough to get very far. The GPU fan points down out a vent in the bottom of the...

    Liquid cooling for space-reasons, but not for $200.

    I'm modding a tool chest, actually: http://i.minus.com/iEUm1vK0ifweO.jpg http://i.minus.com/i5CWpffht62jk.jpg It's about 17"x13" inside, and I'm trying to fit everything in the bottom half of the shell, which is about 3.5 inches. I've got some arrangements done in solidworks if you would like...

    Liquid cooling for space-reasons, but not for $200.

    I've made the terrible mistake of deciding to build a briefcase computer, and I'm just now realizing that AIO watercoolers aren't generally designed to mount in the same plane as the motherboard and still fit within 3.5 inches vertically. The only part in the liquid-loop is a 4770k, which may...
