Help Needed

I have ordered a Black Ice Xtreme 3 radiator for my cooling loop but see that i may run in to difficulty when mounting it. My case is a Thermaltake Tsunami and i have never seen such a large rad on/in this case before. does anybody have any Ideas where I can mount my Radiator without loosing Motherboard connectors? I was conscidering Underneith the case between my wheels and Chassis. Any other Ideas? Thankyou In Advance. Your help is appreciated.

Build a rad box.

Have a seperate box to house your rad and fans and a resivoir/T and your pump.

Re: Help Needed

I Dont need a Rad Box. As Stated in the first post, I want the Radiator to be on or In the case, Not in a seperate enclosure. I was thinking about mounting the fans to the bottom of the case then the rad below them, and using u shaped brackets to mount my wheels. What do you guys think?

that'll work fine. Just be aware that filtering the core might be useful if its on carpet, you'll have huge amounts of dust.
