I have a EVGA Hadron, it's tiny but has holes in the back for external water cooling. Not too sure about what the hell kind of unit I could use with this case. Would like something I could cool my i5 & 7950. I know it'll have to be external, but even external this is such a small case I'm not sure if anything would work here.

ideas?

You want a completely external system in a box that just pipes water into the cpu block or do you want to mount the radiator externally on the case? Do you think you could even find room for the pump with the system installed if you were to try to get as much internal as possible?

u could shorten the budget by about half if ur good with wood and can build a box.

I use that to keep my friends system in check.
She has the cpu air cooled tho, and her GTX 680 SLI are watercooled via extrenal using quick disconnects and the rear holes off her XLan Gear case.

Yea you literally just need a box with dimensions for cutting holes to mount the radiator(s).

You could make it yourself, I've bought sheet metal and delrin from http://www.onlinemetals.com/ they are a good resource, you may want to check if there is a similar store closer to your area though as the shipping on sheet metal and plastics is what kills you.
