New Case or WC\'ing?

How can I mount one on the front drive bay?
I'd like to, but it'd be very expensive...

i'll show it on my pics.
will only cost you the price of the fan.
the things you need to mount them come included with the case
 
no problem, was gonna make the pics anyway.
If i were you i'll take the fan from the kama bay and use it the way i'll show you.
doesn't cost you 3 5.25 drive bays and looks better :P
but that's for you to decide.

Personaly i would never go water cooling because if it leaks you can kiss goodbye to all that expensive equipment.

i would change your case to the 900 as it has loads of airflow

Not of you use non-conductive liquid.

I\'m really, really, liking the look of the P182, it has so many awesome features! But I dont know if it lacks in keeping things cool?

Yeah, I see what you mean about the WC\'ing ;) lol

My friend has the P182 and now has the 900, both of us prefer the 900 to the P182 any day, especially when it comes to cooling.

That watercooling kit youve posted performs on par with top end air cooling, as is definatly not worth it !!

If your seriosu about w/c, then theres no oint in cheaping out, so youll need around £150, id go for a new heatsink if its temps your after, considering the artic freezer is easily outperformed now, and your case looks cool anyway

As taylor said, if you buy water cooling kits that are on the low-end side, you won't get much more effective cooling then you could with a high-end air cooler and decent case fans.
 
Ok sure, I'm actually looking forward to seeing this now as I don't know what to expect! :P

What reasons do you have for favouring it? :)

Also, Geoff, what would you recomend from these options;

Get an Antec 900 and keep my current HSF.

Get an Antec P182 and keep my current HSF and mount the Sythe Kama Bay on the front.

Or get a Cool Masters 690, a Tuniq Tower and mount the Kama Bay on the front.

Would the last option be worth the money and see any difference in the temps?

Everyone has their own opinion, I just prefer the 900 because of the great case cooling, the look of the exterior, and that you don't need to open a door to use the drive bays. That was a major turn off for me, because I usually have my headphones connected to my X-Fi drive bay.

i would say go with the antec 900, cause im not convinced about this whole wcing thing, i mean one bay day and there goes your system

Does no one listen? You fill the loop with non conductive fluid, and because motherboards etc... have such low current, it wont die when the fluid hits it

wow, if you read my post you will see that there are plenty of non-conductive liquids out there that are proven not to short out your components if it leaks.

If you are that paranoid, then I would buy several types of non-conductive liquid and pour it over an electronic device that's not worth much to you, such as an old radio circuit board.
 
I could do, but I'd have to take the MOBO out and it's a pain in the ass and such forth :P
I don't know, pick a hand! lol
 
Just get the stupid 900 already. :P

Seriously, the p182 is a good choice, but no side panel window, right? I like windows, but that's up to you. There's definitely more room in the p182, but, it's also way bigger. I've seen it in person, and you may have a problem setting it up on your desk - if that's where you want it.

You get great cooling out of the box with the 900; with the p182, you may need to buy additional fans.

You'll manage the cables fine in the 900, if that's your only concern. ;)
