Advice on moving from water cooling to air cooling

[SiM]

My issues with it are, the thinner side panels especially with a window, the 200mm fan being difficult to replace with something other than the antec big boy, and drive cages (do they have rubber grommets or something similar?).

shhhh, you peanut butter jelly bear

Lol they are unresolved issue's I should mention. I will no doubt get a chance to use one in the near future so I might be suprised, I was by the CM690

Ok, so if people are conviced I can get a silent system I am willing to invest. I love playing with computer, so I am also feeding my hobbie.

My next step is to buy a Mountain mod Accention

As above.

This will house two triple rads with no effort. This would force me into buying a new rad too as the one currently I use it part of the case and I would sell as complete.

Second thing is new power supply - (xmas time now) and probably a new pump, but only use one loop....

Sound silent yet?

Those MM are certainly big and capable. Do you like the size and styling of them? For the same money you can get a custom, more regular sized case that is a bit more unique. Head over to www.chilledpc.co.uk for a few ideas on custom watercooled cases.

While a single loop and a PA120.3 will cool it ok, it is still a lot of blocks and total flow will 'only' be around 1.2 US gpm. Much better than the XSPC res/pump. I would still have a preference for 2 loops with the cpu on its own if you are using the EK supreme. If you do go for a single loop, consider swapping the supreme block for an XSPC edge which is much less restrictive and more suited to multi-block loops.

I was nearly going to buy a silverstone TJ07 and have the the triple top fan mount mod made by Tom at Chilled-Pc but then came across the mountain mod and thought, thats a case for life. Thats a case you can't improve on. Would never have an issue for space, fans, cooling or anything.

Too be honest I plan to buy the case in September and it will depend on money, but the silverstone TJ07 with a triple fan mod and black inside coating is pretty much the same price as the Ascension with the mods I want...

Custom pain jobs don't impress me.
