I'm looking to build a mATX water-cooled system and I'm thinking of using a thermatake V21, 2x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 radiators, an Alphacool Lighttower res and a phobya d12 pump.

 

Has any one got an experience with this case? If so will there be enough room to make this set up look clean, I have seen some youtube videos and they all look messy.

 

The specs of the system:

 

i7- 6700k

ASRock Z170M Extreme4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Gigabyte 980 Ti 6GB WINDFORCE 

500GB samsung EVO

EVGA supernova G2 550w

 

P.S. If anyone has a CAD model of the case or know where to find one that would be a massive help

What rads are you thinking?

 

I'm not so sure the V21 will fit more than a single 240mm with the tubes and all.  I guess you could do two at the top as long as you have motherboard clearance.

Realistically you could fit at most two 2x 120mm or two 2x 140mm rads in the top (assuming the gpu isn't in the way only one if it is), but I haven't water cooled anything in my case, as for where to put the res the basement has a lot of room though the case doesn't really have much in terms of cable management options so keep that in mind as the tubes will have cables surrounding it in that case

These are the rads I'm looking at: Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 240mm

 

I was thinking of putting one of the rads on the front and one on the top, this image: http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/item/11/133/11-133-274/CoreV211118_8.jpg shows that you can fit a rad in the front, does there look to be enough room for fans and a rad in the front?

 

Thanks for the help.

It looks like the rad will go on the outside of the chassis (under the front plate) and you can mount the fans inside the chassis on the front of the case.  I see pictures on google with a top 240mm rad and two 120mm fans inside the case, so as long as the rad for the front mounts outside the chassis under the front plate, your setup should work!
