Nice project you're working on. May I ask the thickness of the aluminum panels you are using? From the photos, they look like 2mm or 3mm. I ask because I'm also designing a case now and have to decide on panel thickness. You're evaluation of whether the panels you used are stiff enough...

It's obvious that I have opened up something undesireable here by mentioning a 360 radiator. Please understand that I am not trying to twist everyone's arms to accept a huge 360 system. I do not wish for this discussion to escallate into an argument as I have come here to look for comments and...

Well, I guess it may have appeared that I was pushing a little hard for a 360 - my apologies. It's just that I had been thinking a lot about this layout which is a about 410mm tall for some time, but all the comments were based on the assumption that the 360 system will be about half a meter...

Well, I know a bigger radiator doesn't give you much advantage at peak fan rpm's but it will lower temps at least a few degrees and for a given cooling performance, it allows lower fan speeds, and lower noise - that's why we're considering 280 radiators (which have similar performance as 360...

One additional comment/question: would it not be possible to rotate the motherboard so that the back panel is on the back of the case, then fold the riser cable diagonally at 45 degrees behind the motherboard so that the graphics card end of the pci connector is vertical for the graphics card to...

What I had in mind was: (1) place the 360 vertically in the front beginning from the floor - the P1 tower design has a mesh front so it's perfect. Minimum required height is about 410mm considering the EK PE360 radiator length with about 10mm clearance. (2) place an inverted and elongated...

But the Sliger SV590 is 18 litres and the MachOne is 18.5L ... a bit too big for my liking, especially if it can be done in 14L.

I've been tinkering with the idea of a vertical case with 360 radiator for some time and saw this forum and am EXCITED. The 360 would allow a custom loop cooling both CPU and GPU which I think is the direction water cooling systems will be going. I did a layout and it can be done in a 14L case...
