You might be able to put in a double or triple rad in the drive bays of the armour, but this will severely limit how many hard drives and disk drives you can have.

The TJ 07 doesn't require a huge amount of modification. You can see along the bottom of the case where there is a grill and mesh, there is ample enough room for a quad radiator there, and you can put it in without having to drill any holes if you wanted. Life only becomes difficult with the TJ07 when you want to mount a double in the roof, as that requires modifying the motherboard tray.

The Mozart is a great case, but it will require modification if you wanted to fit any radiators bigger than a single, as there aren't any cases that match directly up to the fan hole, and screw positionings of the radiators other than some specialist watercooling cases. The Mozart is also a very big, big case. It's not something you could really have on top of the desk.

Cheers for the rates guys. Glad to know I'm of some use.

Yea the TJ07 is looking more appealing now that I have looked at it more.

Although I still can't get my mind off the Cosmos S! It just so sleek! I was thinking it might be possible to mount an exterior double rad at the back as it does have 2 holes in the rear for the tubes. hhhmmm, thoughts?

The Mozart is a cool case, being able to include a 7" touch screen monitor and an extro mini ITX system into your PC is a pretty cool idea. It's just a shame that not everyone has room for them.

The Cosmos S is a nice looking case, I wasn't sold on the standard model, but after seeing the Cosmos S in real life I wouldn't mind one myself.

As for exterior water cooling it would be possible to mount a rad externally, it just makes life a little awkward if you want to move your case. I'm not entirely 100% certain, but with a little bit of modding you should be able to fit a thermochill triple in the top of the case. I know that some rads fit straight away, but seeing as the thermochill is the best triple rad you would want to use one of those really.

As I don't have one to hand I can't guarantee it,, but I should imagine, that given the air flow dynamic design of the front drive bays it should also be possible to fit a double rad in the front if you don't mind having less space for hdd's and optical drives.

Well I don't think I will be moving the case anywhere!! Any all I want in the front bays is 1xDVD, 2xHDD and the reservoir. So technically that should take up 4 bays, leaving six for any rads.

Anyway If I got a triple up top and a double out the back that should be enough!?

Yeah, I was just suggesting mounting a double in the drive bays as an alternative to an externally mounted double.
