I posted these pics in another thread to give someone some advice on modding their new tsuanami case, but I would figure I would post it in this forum so everyone one else can take a look in case they also need some pointers on modding their case to get everything to fit and look nice.

In my case I have 3 total hard drives, a dvd burner/dvd rom.

Here are the pics.

I'm getting a Tsunami as well for my upcoming water cooling project, now one question why didn't you just use the back 120mm area for the heater core? Seems like it would be much easier.

Because #1, it would make the radiator stick out further, and #2, its better to pull air through the radiator then push it from the front.
 
Can't you just do this. Put the radiator in the 120mm hole, and then have the 120mm fan to the right blowing air onto it?

I dont understand that. The radiator is bolted in where the 120mm fan was, but if its on the right side its blowing on the side of the radiator.... That does nothing, and doesnt make much sense.

Am i understanding you correctly? Anyway, im not making any changes because this is the best method of fitting the items in this case so far, and I have modified around 30 or so of these cases like this already that I sell at my shop.

Grahxen,
What did you put on the harddrives so that it can be placed in the CD-drives area?

I will have some pics over the weekend, I have the same case and the custom made copper radiator, mounted IN the drive cage, is going to be fed fresh air from the front 120mm fan...it also has a 92mm Panaflo pulling air THROUGH the radiator....I don't like external radiators, it ruins the aesthetics, gets in the way when going to LAN's, etc.
 
Hey, I have the same case and am in the planning stages of a wc setup.

Do you folks have any ideas about what I can put in that 92mm fan hole on the side? I'm trying to decide if a round res would work there (like the thermaltake one, or an ac or innovatek), but don't know if I would need to make some sort of bracket so it's weight isn't on the window.

What do you think?
