Adding an all-in-one CPU water cooling kit to my PC. It wasn't! I bought one & brought it home, then attempted to install it. Nope! No points in the case to fasten the radiator to. Yay! Discovered that there is an optional mounting bracket, but no one locally has it. Not even the manufacturer has it. Double yay! Found one on eBay and two and bit weeks later the brackets turned up.
I pull me pc apart again to finally instal the kit and discovered that the radiator won't fit as the brackets don't line up. I soon realized what the problem was, I'm trying fit a 140mm wide radiator in a space designed for 120mm. Triple yay! So I spent awhile working the problem and coming to the conclusion that the brackets just needed more holes, but how? Using a radiator fan as a template I drilled some holes, roughly. After some finessing I got the radiator mounted, the pc reassembled and running.
Yet considering the trouble I had doing that & the fact there's no cable management, I suspect that I should get a new case. Yeah, that's going to be fu, doubt there's too many cases with 4 5&1/4 bays + hdd & can take a 280mm rad.
