Looks good to me, but probably not worth the extreme price of 2 BIXes. One should do, but if you need a larger radiator then get a double heatercore.

I don't think it would kill your flow if you have a sufficiently powerful pump--but, I'm not nearly as bright or experienced as most of the regulars around here.
The big issue that I see is that the SIZE of the BIX and an adequate shroud may be too large to fit on the rear like that. I have a top mounted BIX in the box that I am building (I'm also going to have a dual 80, but in the front). Here are some pictures, you be the judge: Last edited by caxis0; 06-17-2004 at 02:25 AM.

I think it'll be okay. This is my first shot at watercooling and if I get it wrong the first time, well, I'm not going to shy away from trying to fix it. I've been reading message boards for months doing research. Months! And I still learn new things almost every day. I can't wait to actually get it finished, long way to go though. I have a tiny project log up (here), but it's just pictures, no text. Bruce |

But-- I am going to order the dual micro and mount it in the next couple of weeks, which will be kind of a challenge because Im going to have to cut up the drive cage to make it fit. I'll have pics |
