Setting up Water Cooling in Pc-70 Some cool stuff inside
 

Hi all, I am looking into getting a new case and I need a monster of a case to fit my water cooling and I think i have found the optimal case. The pc-70. It is giant so it should be able to hold all of my water cooling gear. I was thinking of the cube, but its too expensive and its got too many spots for fans (I run with only 2 120mm fans on low speed).

To make things easier for me I decided to put my setup with the Pc-70 into AutoCAD. I color coded the different parts in the case. Here are the color codes in colored text to match. Note that the reason that it looksl like I have two video cards is because the lower "card" is actually the amount of space that the water cooler takes up. I put the second plane there to show where i cant put the pump. if it touches the bottom plane then it would actually be touching the vid card itself... not a good thing... especially considering the vibrations the iwaki produces.

The Last pic that I attached is with a different configuration. I was wondering if mounting the radiator above the res would cause any problems, such as getting the air out of the rad. I could have the res at the top if i needed to make things easier...


RED=MOBO AND DARK RED IS VID CARD
PURPLE= CD ROM BAYS AND HD BAYS
BLUE= DUAL 120MM RADIATOR
GREEN= IWAKI MD-20RLT PUMP
ORANGE= POWER SUPPLY UNIT

Here is a picture of the inside of the case for reference just in case the pictures of the 3d renderings confuse you.

get an MD-20RZT instead, much better for cooling applications

I already have the WMD-RLT. I contacted iwaki to get the Z head for it. The Z and L are the same pump with different impeller. I will do some testing in my loop when i get the Z head. Then we will find out for sure which is the best for water cooling.....

double post

excellent, even better, it probably varies depending on restriction of loops...

yah... it will be interesting to see. i just dread taking my system apart again to drain the water... its a bitch to do and always ends up fing something up.
