right today i am attaching my 1800 to my case... iv decided to have it so the connectors on the rad are both at the back of the case. Because the rad. is so big it will be dropping off at the bottom... now i have got a feeling and the measurments are showing that the rad is going to be touching the floow before the case. :-[ any ideas on what to do? could i buy some more feet for the lian li case to make it taller.. at the moment i think im just going to have to put some books on the bottom of it lol

Thanks

Hi

Maybe that will be helpfull: The airplex evo 1800 have M4 Threads to fix it everywhere you want. Maybe you will find some fittings in a near "do-it-yourself"-store.

It looks to me like the rad's mounting holes are part way along the rad's edge so you shouldn't have any trouble mounting it as in the pics you supplied.

if the rad is actually longer than your case is tall, then you don't really have a 'tidy' option, either it'll be sticking out at the top, or sticking out at the bottom, as the following diagram shows:

possibly the wheels for the v-series cases? i'm sure you must be able to get them as a replacement part somewhere!

yes they would be good to have... does anyone have this case... could you possibly measure the height of them?

Thank you

don't worry about the feet height thing.. iv been looking around the net and found them for $29.99 and i live in england so with postage it doesn't look very good for the money terms. Thinking now of having to re-drill.

a good example of why you should measure twice, drill once.

don't worry, i'm sure everyone's made mistakes, i know i have:

I had just cut the top fan blow hole out (on an Lian Li pc 6065a) to fit in an aquatube, and was filing the edges smooth, and i slipped with the file. Twice.

yeah i know, where were my three layers of masking tape to protect my lovely (ish) case? :'(

i'm now thinking of putting in an ape 120 grill with a fan on it, just to cover the scratch! (well, actually, to remove it)
