yeah, I think its pretty acheivable with a reasonable sized radiator that sits out side the case but trying to make it all fit in the case and still work is tricky :roll: I figured using 2x radiators like mine: http://max8888.orcon.net.nz/images/current%20system/DSC00001.jpg and having them in a ser...
