Time and time again we get asked how we mount radiators in our cases, or how we fit windows... well, the theory is all the same for both... masking tape, time, care and attention, a jigsaw, some files, and some blowhole rubber...
Here comes the guide!

For illustrative purposes, the plan is to fit a ThermoChill HE120.1 and then a 120.2 into a LianLi case....
The LianLi PC60 has one distinct disadvantage when it comes to fitting watercooling to it... namely, the position and style in which the top panels' 80mm fan is mounted...

For the jigsaw, u want some GOOD QUALITY metal cuting blades, suitable for sheet steel and aluminium upto 2.5mm thick...
And follow all precautions as stated on the packet... JIGSAWS ARE DANGEROUS!
Eye and finger protection is the most important. Both myself and Stevie have been to hospital as a result of metal shards in the eye from not wearing goggles when cutting...
