Watercooling kit for slim 240mm radiator?

Last response: in Overclocking

Hey!

I'm going to build my first watercooling setup in my Corsair 500R. I'd like to know if there are any kits available with a 240mm radiator which is 29mm or less thick, as I'd like it to fit in the top of the case with the grill still on. Also, I noticed XSPC had a pump/resevoir combo which could fit two optical 5.25 drive slots, which I think would be really cool! ;) 

So, I'm open to any suggestions you guys might have - thanks alot! Though, I'm not interesting in mounting anything externally.

Just a note - it really can't be too expensive as everything in my country cost more than double of the prices in the US... :(

Not sure you are going to find a rad that thin...

These are 30mm thick:

This one is 29.6mm:

You could also consider using slim fans?

Unfortunately, the size of the fans has nothing to do with what height of radiator I can fit. The radiator is placed on top in a place made for that, with the fans underneath - so they are pretty undependant.

I did find that 29.6 radiator, however I was looking for a complete kit as this is my first time doing any WC build. I also understood that it was cheaper buying one of these kits rather than buying the individual parts seperately?

Well so nothing like XSPC rasa240 or something along those lines? I will need to seperately choose all my desired components? Won't this be at least double the price?

If you go to XSPC's site you'll see it's around 35mm


Doesn't 35mm= 35mm?

Outside of this, you're going to have to go with a custom loop with the radiator you choose.
