Watercooling Help

Can I fit a watercooler in this Case?

I was thinking of an external kit but an internal kit would be better.

Mabey a Danger Den kit so I can strew the parts around in different spots.

What are you planning on cooling with water?

One thing I can see that might work is to put a double 120mm rad like the swiftech MCR220 in the top of the case. Move your two optical drives down to the lower 2 bays. The rad and fans would probably fit there, might not be a lot of room though for airflow, but it may work. I would mount it with the rad against the top, with the fans next, blowing down into the case. If you need more cooling capacity, mod the back of the case to fit a 120mm fan instead of the current 80mm and put a single 120mm rad back there along with the double in the top.

As for res and the pump, put them where they would fit best.

A totally internal loop in that case will be really tough, but I think it is possible if you plan it out really well. 3/8" tubing might be better here simply because of space constraints, 1/2" or 7/16" might not fit too well.

seeing how your still using the stock heat sink. I would recomend you learn more about air cooling b4 you experiement with water. A aftermarket Air heat sink might be a better approach. Mounting the radiator on the top can have issues with bleeding, and also moding the case.
