Help with modding an Fractal Design Define Mini!

[Simon752]

Hello All case modding enthusiasts! I want to fit an 240mm radiator in the top of my Define Mini, Like "Fr0st" did on his Red Carbon project. If i understand correctly he made the hole in the top longer and put a fan grill Like this one  on top of that hole, Is that a good way of modding my case to fit a 240mm radiator?

Pictures will come when i start modding! ;)

no it is not the way to fit a 240.. he was going to putting a 360 in the roof so he cut

a 360 hole.

 

here is the full build: LINKY

 

post #355 has a full shot of layout..

 

 

tbh, wrong case to be modding for water-cooling. but if you do, you need to offset

mount the radiator like the mid/mini to have less interference with RAM/MOSFET

'sinks and 8-pin (you see he left those fans off). so out of 7-fans planned, he only

used 3-fans. not very efficient.

Yeah i see that now, maybe i should just put a 240mm radiator in the front instead. :)
