I'm considering getting the Antec 1200 when it finally comes out however, I have another little trip to take very soon and was wonder what other cases would handle the PA120.3 Radiator mounted on the inside, that are already for sale in the UK. I'd like to mount it either along the top or vertically taking up the drive bays. BTW it takes up 9 1/2 drives bays mounted vertically.

Do any of you have pics of it mounted in your case's to get some idea's and see your handy work :).

Any Stacker / Cosmos S for front mounts (you'd need a custom front panel to hide it).
I've seen a few Lian-Li full towers with side mounted radiators.
The Lian-Li PC-A77 is interesting also.

I just went and read every review I could find on that Antec 1200 and I do not think it will fit a triple Thermochill Rad... I saw some pictures with a 200mm Rad mounted up top (don’t know where you buy the 200mm rad and who cares if not Thermochill).

It seems to me that the 1200 is taller but not longer then the 900… I suspect but can not guarantee that it will not fit inside as it will not in a 900.

I think we may have to wait until someone posts pics or exact measurements of the interior. If it turns out the 120.3 does fit PLEASE send me a message as I will buy that case in a heartbeat.


On a side note… I love that case, it looks awesome, would take very little modification to make it the perfect water case.

I've been looking at the Cosmos S, although i like the space i dislike the boy racer styling ( no affence to anyone who owns one just my opinion :) ).

 

As for customizing my future case i have no reserves for my workmanship. When it comes to my own stuff I have a keen eye for detail :D.

 

I was about to mod my 900 to fit the 120.3. The depth of the case can actually hold the length of the rad. The depth of the rad and the fans mounted on the top inside of the case just overhang the CPU so i can't fit the water block :(.

 

Would still like to see some pic's mind :).

 

*EDIT* I also have a 120.1 to fit inside as well - hehe [i'm thinking mounting the PA120.3 vert in the Antec 1200 then concocting a method of mounting the 120.1 right below the 200mm fan :)]

I have my water cooling in a 900 but mounted the rad outside on back as it just will not fit inside.
you got me excited with that 1200... i hadnt seen anything for that case. But as usual interior mounting of a 120.3 will be a tight fit.

You know...
On the side of the case where the window is a guy could mount 120.3 vertically up the drive bays and then cut a whole in the side panel.. This way you have interior mounting with exterior cooling. It would look sick too if you have the skills to make it look professional.

Hehe you doubt my skills :P . Anyhow your Water setup looks ruddy cool. Bet It looks even better in the dark with the UV :). Oh to have cable management like that...

Which would allow me to mount the Rad on the side via the four outer screw holes.

 

*EDIT* Think a dremel is in order soon

You Kidding?
I have an Antec 1200 and I've been searching all over the web for guides on such about how to mount it. And then I find a guy with the exact same case!
We need to team up... xD

BTW I've heard a lot of people complaining that the little plastic radbox will be too weak and will bend when filling the PA120.3 up with water. What do you make of this?
