Project: Damkia

Post by aussiematt84 »

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?

Still pretty large, but much better.

Good luck with the build. ;)

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?

They do exist; here's an example.

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.
