So, I'm guessing that I'm out of luck, but maybe one of you guys are more creative than I am.
The problem is that I have a G5 case, with the matx original Laserhive mod, that retains the bottom PSU (I have fitted an 800W Corsair into the enclosure).
My problem is that in my current setup I have two 140mm AIO Liquid Coolers, one for my GPU (GTX1080) and one for my CPU (6700k). And I would like to fit one of them in at least, while not removing any of the original components. That is to say, I would like to keep a BR-drive in there, since I don't like the thought of the drive"flap" having no function, and I plan to populate two 3.5" storage drives in the HDD-bay, along with two SSDs, hidden behind the G5 shield.
But where to put one of the 140mm radiators? I could of course drop the BR-drive, and put one there, but I'm not a fan of the idea. I could maybe create two L-shaped brackets and have it hanging from under the BR-drive. But that would eliminate the space for the two fans in the front, and maybe make it impossible to remove the acrylic panel.
So from my vantage point, I am either going to lose some (more) original layout, OR having to drop the liquid cooler for my GTX 1080.
Do you guys see any ways to fix this?
(note: I am moving from a NZXT S340, and it's problematic temps)
