A small article on how I installed the watercooling unit from the Koolance PC2-C case into my Antec Plusview 1000! I found the aircooling of my P4 2.8Ghz way too loud so I set out to get this baby watercooled, and while we?re at it why not chill my Radeon also?

Koolance >> Antec

I started this mod yesterday, I planned to install the water-cooling from my Koolance PC2-C into my Antec PlusView 1000.

So I got going, removed all the parts from the Koolance:

I encountered my first problem, the top of the ANTEC case is riveted and it took me 30min with my drill to remove the top:

I then measured the dimensions of the radiator and fans, I marked it & used my Dremel to get this result:

I then started to look for the best spot in the Antec case where I could put the reservoir & water pump, after making a hole in the bottom (to be able to refill the reservoir) I had it installed down there.

The next challenge was finding a suitable location for the "control" unit, after some research I found out that using some motherboard studs I could attach it safely without risk of a short-circuit.
