Re: Caselabs S8S Build by rewarder #2
Ok then ... here we go with a first update. I finally started on this one. In the beginning I wanted to use the 60mm Alphacool radiator but it turned out it was too fat again. I wanted to install the radiator here:

When the radiator is in place, it touches the power and reset button. In the end this is where you would have will have the fittings and therefore the installation would be pretty circumstantial, especially since I'm about to use fat tubes. Finally I ended up using a slim triple radiator, but even installing that one with the fat tubes was quite a fight.
Apart from changing the triple radiator I decided to also install an additional single as well as a dual radiator.

Continuing I had to find a way/place to install the EK Pump reservoir combo. After looking at the case for a while I found a cover plate for a 120mm spot. I drilled some holes in it and mounted it at the 240 radiator, which I place in the front of the case. I'm surprisingly happy with the result.
