Will this case fit this water system?

I do plan on over clocking a intel i7k CPU.
Please let me know if it will fit.
Thanks:)

I have two radiators installed in my Antec 1200 -- an XSPC RX360 mounted in the front, and a Koolance HX-CU720V (their new dual 120mm copper radiator) mounted in the rear, on the two exhaust fans. In order to install a radiator in the front, you will have to sacrifice a number of drive bays -- 9 or 10 for a triple radiator, 7 or 8 for a dual. You can detach the front fans from the drive cages, and still attach them to the front of the case.

You can detach the front fans from the drive cages, and still attach them to the front of the case.

The rear radiator mount will work only with a handful of dual radiators, due to the tight spacing contraints. The radiator must be no wider than 120mm and no longer than ~275mm. The Koolance just fits, and I think the XSPC RS240 and the Magicool slim radiators would also just fit. Also, the rear radiator must be mounted with the inllet & outlet on the bottom, because there is only a few millimeters clearance between the top of the top exhaust fan and the case ceiling. The case's acrylic side fan mount will interfere with the outer barb on the radiator, so you will have to sand the offending section down a little



hope this helps




the bottomline is that it will fit

From the pictures of the case it's hard to see the top of the case and it looks like there may be room to put a 360 radiator up top. It may take some doing but you do have empty drive bays for it to slide into and it would have to be mounted first before anything else.
If it were my case I would be giving it a serious look and of course it's easier to see when you have the case in front of you if there's a chance or not. Being a full tower I would think there would be a chance to get at least one radiator inside.

I have seen people mount radiators on top of the case outside using some short stand offs, maybe not the best looking but it's one option.
