I don't see why you can't. Why do you doubt that you can?

Yes, the price is steep. But the panel is aluminum, which makes it easy to drill and cut.

You should only have to remove the panel from its pneumatic hinge and the case so you can work on it.

I see several options. If the system you want to install has a smaller radiator assembly than the Tai-Chi, then you could close off the remaining part of the case-panel hole with a Lexan window and molding.

Unless you have some exotic home-made water-cooling rig that uses a 150mm fan, it couldn't require a bigger hole, even if it requires small holes drilled in different locations than those already there to secure the radiator assembly and the other parts to the inside of the case-panel.

So I would think the impact of modding the case on the case's "re-sale-ability" is pretty small, if any.

Geez. I've seen good cases before, but this thing could tip me over the edge of sticking with recycled circa-1998 full-tower OEM cases for mods. Or, conversely, it sort of suggests ideas that would make a case-modding project on one of those old cases take a lot more time and care.

Thanks for showing that link to the Tai-Chi ad.
