Could this work?

I recently bought my first real PC. Ryzen 5 1500x, 8gb of ram, r5 250 and a WDD caviar black 640gbb. I know it is nothing special but i focused the main budget on the processor. So i have the stock cooler for the processor and i am happy with it, but i wish to install a water cooler later, but the big problem is my case doesn't have place to mount the radiators (atleast not as big as i would like(my prefered size would be 240x120)) You would just say ''buy a new case'', but i want it so my pc is somewhat mobile. So could i buy a seperate case mount the radiators there aswell the water tank and all and make holes in both cases for the water cooling loop so it comes from one pc to the other? But i want it so i can exchange the coolers quickly, so if i wanna go somewhere i can do it in quick 10-20 minutes.

Ah, I would just stick with air cooling as you'll get better performance.

 

What you suggested really won't work with the swapping between cases and all that.

I would genrally avoid SFF custom watercooling if you have no prior experience

Its not really a small form factor as i would have 2 cases to work with.

Just remove the side panel and put a rad in

That defeats the whole purpose of it being SFF as it's no longer portable tho
