The box is a 15 x 13 x 7 electrical junction NEPA type plastic "enclosure" that happened to come with a hinged clear window. I got it at www.mcmaster.com in the States. I drilled out 2 120mm holes in the top and hung the fans/rad from there. Then I drilled out 2 80mm on the rear with grills for air intake and one on the left side. behind the pump is a 80mm a/c fan mounted in one of the holes to help keep the pump cool. The top 120 fans as well as the pump are all a/c, so I just plug it into the powerstrip that controls my computer. I drilled twp 1 1/4" holes on the right side for the quick release 1/2" plugs so I can just disconnect and go. The last thing was a removable a/c plug mounted on the right side ans of couse the obigatory blue lights. Maybe I'll change to U/V later. Drilled 2 holes in the rear of the computer to run the hoses and that's it. All 1/2" id tubing and connection using a T line with a tube/screw on cap to fill through another hole towards the top.

Mine was part # 74995K95. Go to http://www.mcmaster.com , then search for "enclosures" click on the first one and at the top change the page # to 749 and they are at the top of that page.

Make sure you pay attention to the "internal" clearance dimensions of the box so the rad will fit properly, etc.
