Is there room for a MaxXxpert Radiator in top of a Chieftec DX-01BD Case?
It would be Between the PSU and the back of a CDRW drive. I would need some room for the cables and Yeah I already have the MaxXxpert Radiator and 2-120mm 108cfm fans 5.4watts each too. I know the MaxXxpert will fit in the case itself, But I don't have a spare psu (a dead one would do, I wish I hadn't thrown out that dead one that I had, darn It) to test It against.

With the air Exiting through a Blowhole in the Top of the case, Of which I've yet to make.

It depends. Do you have any dimensions on that rad?

If you mount the PSU on the side, it'll restric the space a lot. If you mount it horizontally, you should have a good 6 1/2".

I was going to just mount the PSU in the stock position and the MaxXxpert is about 6"x4.75" or 145mmX120mm in size. The other dimension is the way the two 120mm fans will face of course and so isn't as critical.

It might be a tight squeeze, if you mount the PSU on it's side.

I could take some measurements, if you can wait a few days.

I can wait.
I was thinking of doing this since I have the space in My Black case, It's a cheap mockup I made in Paint Shop Pro, What do You think? They are or will be hooked up Serially of course. And I have one already.

Why would you want 3 resevoirs? I think my res(3/4 inch ID PVC) has dropped about 1/8 of an inch in a month. If you need that kind of backup you've got a problem. All 3 will do is increase weight and increase the chance of a leak.

JokerCPoC · 07-25-2003, 04:44 PM

So one ought to do It then. Ok. I'll have to put It in one of the two top bays as the One I have right now has 3/8" Right Angle connectors on It. I should have bought It from D-Tek, They have them in 3/8" straight fittings too.

The backplate has an odd size fan mount: looks like a 92 mm.
