Where to place radiator on Define S?

[jaaron827]

Hi,

I'm looking to water cool my PC, but I'm having trouble finding a place to put my radiator. Logically, I would put the radiator at the top, but there is one problem: to place it at the top, I would need to take off the top flaps. On the case, there are 3 removable top flaps that make the case look all nice. I would hate to take that off, as it seems like the exterior of the PC would then look messy and bad.

Is there a way around this, or do I have to take the top flaps off in order to install a custom water cooling unit?

Thank you,
Jaaron

You could do the front. Also looking at the case there seems to be a louvered insert for the top in case you do put them up there.

Sorry, are you saying that there is a place I could put the radiator up there without having to take the top flaps off?

You have to remove the Moduvent fan slot covers (top flaps) if you want the radiator at the top. All is described in the manual.
