Ok i got an antec 1040b case. I will be getting some cool stuff from germany (resivour and some connectors maybe a pump, blocks etc.) but the good radiator they have there is too long for my case. I was thinking of putting in a black ice radiator and toss 1 120mm fan as an exhaust on the fan manifold. I would mount it in my antec 1040b and have the fan exhaust out the right side (if you were standing in the front of the case facing it). Does anyone else have recommendations?
another concern I have is mounting the fittings on the radiator. they use a plug and cool system. It looks similar to a tubing system i used on my paintball gun for those familiar with paintball it looks like macroline. seems as though the hose is 8/6mm and use quick switch fitting to hook in the hose. I could solder the connectors onto the radiator but do you think that could pose a problem? seems as though they have the connectors mounted on the eheim too but I would buy a pump here in the US.
So overall. Do you think the black ice is a good radiator for overclockers with space concerns and do you think I would have trouble soldering conectors to my radiator?
