Hey all,
Thought I would start a log on the progress of this watercooling/casemod.
The name of the project is a combination of my son and daughters names.
All I have done so far is cut out the top of the case with a jigsaw for a 240mm radiator.
Planning on removing the bottom hdd cages to add another 120mm radiator. Then I will be painting the entire case in black the motherboard tray and all, any advice on that guys?

The images will probably show if you compress and resize them a bit.
Here is one compressed way down. Stll looks good.

Still pretty large, but much better.
Good luck with the build.

Re: Project: Damkia
What water cooling are you putting in?
I don't think I've ever seen one with two radiators before - sounds interesting
Also, what case is that?

The case is a Gigabyte Aurora 3D 570, just an old one I had laying around and thought I would experiment with.
Im going to be adding a 240mm radiator at the top along with a 120mm radiator at the bottom where the current hdd cage is, I will be removing that part next.

Re: Project: Damkia
You do seem to have a lot of Gigabyte cases lying around
