I just ordered http://www.swiftnets.com/products/h20-x20-edge.asp for my 920 cpu. I plan on using the rad universal mount to attach it to the back of my computer on the outside. I may even consider installing it internally. Anyone ever see a water setup inside a 900?. Ill post some pics in a few days as im currently waiting on the parts. Also bought 110cfm sycthe fans x2 and a 90cfm fan maybe for the side idk as of yet. any suggestions?

I just finished a build last in an Antec 902. IMO, you'll be very hard pressed to find space to mount a radiator of any size internally. Outside via a rad box would be your best bet.

Post same pics please!
+1 I'd like to see it when you get it all done. As Sleepee stated, you'll be hard-pressed to fit it inside without some serious modding. However, running it outside rear should not present any problems. Are you going with the double or triple version? I've heard that running it vertical is better anyway. For some reason these don't do as well horizontally, but I don't know that for a fact. I can see how filling the res would be much better and easier if the rad was on the outside anyway. Good luck. I'm interested in how it performs.

Ok tomorrow im getting fans and such from ups. So yeah im running external rad box. Now should i keep the fans on the back of the rad so that they are PULLING air into the case? its a dual rad 2x120 fans. My rear fan is also 120mm should i turn it aroudn to suck air in? Reason im asking is because ive heard from elsewhere that pulling cold air in is needed to get the best overall cpu temp, is this correct? I could even make the side fan an exhuast too along with the top fan. its the huge bigboy fan i think its called lol, or will that just the air to stay in the middle..two front fans as well pulling like 60cfm i think..they say they are 79..but they def arent lol. Let me know what you would do here, thanks.

Very nice. I had a 260 too but got fed up with the heat issues when I ran tri sli. I received that parts today and im going to walmart or somehwere to buy some distilled water, maybe hose cutters, wire ties and thats about it. I noticed that the pump on the bottom of the rad has a 3pin for mobo to regulate the fan speed and the molex to power the pump. AND the two fans on my rad use 3 pin and they didnt give me converters although i mihgt have one around, but they did give me a 12v to 7 and a 12to 5v which could be useful in the future. I think ill just rewire my two new fans to the rad instead since i hate having cables giong through my case. Ill post some pics of before and after later today.

average temps are now 32c 920 oced to 3.2 planning on hitting 3.8 in a week. Im letting the paste get settled in more before i do that. 5850 idle 43c, before the water cooling setup i think it was around 48c,even with my side fan. I wish it would sit at 35 that would be nice.
