I moved the Kuhler's radiator from the back of the case to the front. I had to get some mounting brackets and secure the radiator that way but I like the look up front and the temps are the same as when it was in the back, so that's a bonus. It took about an hour, mostly figuring out how to mount it up front. Actual labor time was like 15 minutes.

Here are a few pics I took. I forgot to snap some of the mounting brackets, but I don't feel like pulling it apart to take some more.

Oh, just for comparison, here's how it looked mounted in the back.

Love the case six, looks sooo clean and neat! I got the same one, and its nowhere near as clean and dust free as yours. Question: I like the extra fan you got in front, whats that?

I like it too; you can change the lights to blink, strobe, or stay on like you see in the pic. It's very quiet and moves a ton of air 85cfm.

It's a T.B.APOLLISH 12cm. ENERMAX - Product

Not yet. It'd be over $300 for what I'd want and this is just a simple out of the box install for less than $70.00. I keep thinking about it, but have never done any water cooling before so it makes me a little hesitant besides the price.

Understandable. I agree WC is expensive but you'll deff love it after you do it, no more high temps at all. My cpu is at 4.0 with a loaded game or 32C.. Which isn't bad what so ever. I dont OC the gpu's but they run cold also. Something just to think about in the future though.
 
I thought your were going to mount that pocket pussy you were talking about...lol;
Looks nice & clean; I think for your next mod you should pull all your stiff and paint everything black; that would tighten up that bad boy.

Nah, if I was going to do anything else I'd just get a new case. I'm still torn between the HAF X and the Thermaltake Level GT 10
 
Nah I like the style and layout, but hate the small fans. It'd be great if I was doing water cooling but right now I'm not but thanks for the suggestion.
