Yeah but at $30 who's complaining?
I want a IandH stealth res, but they were out of stock at "Hank's fuck shop" so the balancer is a stand in

I mean the rear end of the case, not the space behind the mobo tray

I don't like the lunds tbh. Unless you use the 5.25 bay mounting plate thingy and some bright LEDs. Then it looks sick as bro.

But I wanted to stick mayhem's purple dye in some of this and run clear tube and a tube res to show off the colour

Yeah I saw the link in your build log, but I still like the idea of pastel purple fluid. If only Nils' purple sleeve was actually purple

Read the thread to see why cylinder res.
I wouldn't have a problem if they just didn't have that built in shroud, but they just had to go and stick it on the wrong side didn't they
Couldn't they have just added some ports and stop fitting to the other side to I could just flip it around?

Edit: TKR don't have anything I want in terms of res, aquatube looks silly, lund looks even sillier...
Those itrap things look cheap, I don't want a bay res because it's up the opposite end of the case to everything else and yeah. Tube res ftw.

The shroud side is the right side for having fans in pull and exhausting. Correct me if I'm wrong but marginally better performance like that?
That's how mine's set up anyway.
Have you actually secured the Phobya res yet? because the finish on it is bad, mine had flakes right on the holes.

yeah mine are in pull and intaking from the bottom.
And like I said, idm if it's a bit shitty quality, it's a cheap(ish) temp solution until I can get the IandH stealth

Yes, I have seen your (several) rants on the subject.

Aw crap, looks like I'll have to take the drive cage out and maybe cut an extra hole in the end of the case just to fit Mr Radiator.

Goodbye structural integrity
