Notes By Owner
This is the first time I have done water cooling. I have had the Stacker 831 for years now and it seemed big at the time but now it is small inside compared to the new cases getting around. I started off with the Swiftech H20-220 kit and added more things as the build continued. I thought it would take me a few days to get it together but because of the small interior and all the things I wanted inside (didn't want to go outside the case) it took me time to try things and adjust as needed. Just dummy OC'd at the moment to 3.6 CPU and 800/1600 on the GTX570. So far so good.
I had to move my HHD box further inside the case and turn it vertical to make room for the 240Rad in the front. A few holes needed to be drilled. A long slow process when you have to put everything inside to find I need to move something somewhere else. Out is all comes, try again. Loved the process though. Had a great time doing this. Will be doing it again and I'm trying to get my friends to do it so I can help. LOL
I did add some Koolance Quick Disconnects so I can still remove the MB tray, with everything still attached, from the front radiator. Makes it easy to get inside the case still. Any tips? Feel free to tell me. :)
