    Don't know what a "Radiator/Reservoir" is.

    You've got real nice stuff ordered already.
    Why not just set it up and see how it goes?

    Yeah Im not saying Im going all crazy changing my stuff, just curious to see which you thought was better.

    Rad/Res I imagine its a radiator with a section of the inside used as a RES. Frozen has a whole section of them here, they appear to look like regular Rad's.

    The MCR120-QP (Quiet Power™) series radiators are heavy-duty liquid-to-air heat exchanger designed to be used with 120mm class fans, and specifically engineered for high-end liquid cooled personal computers. The Quiet Power™ technology is the result of months of research and development focused on optimizing thermal performance and audible noise characteristics with low to medium airflow types of fans.
    The MCR120 -QP heat exchangers have been engineered to meet today's PC industry highest thermal loads, quality standards, and low noise requirements at competitive prices.
    The MCR120-QP Res version has built-in 3/8" barbs, and an integrated reservoir sufficient for years of operations without coolant refills.
    Combine your radiator and res with this unit to save room in your chassis!!

    Oh.
    A rad with a slightly oversized end tank and a fillport.
    Only useful if the rad is placed with the fillport in an accessible place.

    I know I asked this already in a PM but are you sure this res will not work horizontally??

    It will hold water, yes.
    It will not be as efficient separating out the air bubbles.

    Hmmmm but what if one of the barbs faces up and is connected to a fillport?? Wouldn't the air head up the tube away from the main chamber?

    I'v been looking at as many WC rigs as I can to get more and more ideas to add a little sizzle to it. I have a few ideas in the works but I am still on the lookout.
    ive seen someone mount a w/c kit in that let me find the pic

    kk found something like it, obv it's not your case it's an antec p182, but the principle will be the same.












    hope this helps, will keep looking cos im sure ive seen someone w/c that case!

    Found it, soprry i could'nt get no pics of the rad but this should give you some indication of where things can go




    some more

    You could try it and see.

    Edit: In fact, you'll be doing a lot of "try it and see"-ing.
    Avoid making any permanent alterations till you're pretty sure things are where they should be.

    It should be pretty obvious by now that I'm not really a fan of the horizontal rez layout but my reasoning would be hard to describe well in words, so it's better you see for yourself and reach your own conclusions.
    I will tell you that with the stuff you've already ordered- assuming it's assembled/installed properly- you should be able to fill and bleed the loop in under five minutes.

    I did see it somewhere else but the guy doesn'y know if it will work either, I am pretty sure my idea will though. TBH I don't know what the fuck I'm really talking about but I think I have a good concept of water flow. So I guess we'll see.

    @ Acid I don't see where the RES is mounted sideways in those pics?

    I already see two things I don't like about that system.
    Did he finish setting it up like that?
