Watercooling a Chilli

GiMP · 02-27-2002, 08:38 PM

Hey I was wondering if you guys thought it was possible to watercool a Chilli Pro case..... My plan is this: Get the ATX version of the Chilli Pro case, but put a mATX mobo in it. Then take out the hard drive rack, and mount the hard drive in the extra 3.5" bay under the floppy drive. This will (hopefully) free up some roon which will be enough for an inline magdrive pump. I plan to cut out the 92mm fan grille at the back of the case along with a few PCI slots to create a hole big enough to mount a BlackIce Extreme radiator. Hopefully this will all work out.... :shrug:

Kevin is doing this with a full sized atx mobo, doing it with a matx would be much easier though

I'm doing one as well, there's a lot more room in there than you'd think. I got a mATX because I'm using both 5¼ bays for a DVD and a digi doc, also using a full size ATX. Still plenty of space for an ehiem 1048 and other goodies...
