Question 1

what is dimentions of whole case?

Accepted Answer

This should answer any questions you have.
Just a personnel note, with a full ATX motherboard you will need to remove the radiator from the case to install.

21.1 x 8.7 x 22.2 inch

Question 2

Will the CPU cooler work with a Intel 1150 chip?

Accepted Answer

I used mine with a LGA 1155 socket for a I7 processor and ASUS P8Z68VLX. And from the research I have done the processor fan mounts for the 1150 and 1155 sockets are the same. The mounting kit has 3 sets of the most popular mounts used.

Question 3

What's the upgrade potential of the parts involved? Is the pump and res going to be strong enough for me to add in a couple more rads and tubing for an expanded GPU/RAM addon?

Accepted Answer

The problem I run into with this isn't the pump and reservoir, they seem to be strong and big enough for any additions you would want to make. The problem is the case, there isn't enough room to add any more radiators or even upgrade the one it comes with for a bigger one. If you want outta the box use only this is a good option however if your wanting to do add-ons, then I would recommend buying the case that will support it and buying your water cooling system separately.

Question 4

What components can be liquid cooled from the get go with this case?

Accepted Answer

To answer your question directly, this chassis bundle, as is, cools only one component with water blocks, and that is the CPU. Nothing else. Anything else you do, will require additional components bought separately.

The problem, like some of the other discussions in this Q/A forum, is space. In order to add a GPU, RAM, etc cooler onto the existing loop, you will have to add additional cooling radiators, but space aside, the only way a radiator can actually do its job is by displaying surface heat with air flow, which is why every radiator you see comes with fans attached to it.

I've been going back and forth with the support desk at Thermaltake, and have a pretty good idea of what's possible with this chassis/LCS package now. You'll have to be creative with where and what you do as far as this goes. Your options are the floor in-take fan (terrible idea, not enough air flow), the back out-put fan, (which means adding a small single slot radiator/fan kit but its too close to the top radiator, which makes it sort of a dumb place to put another radiator) and then finally the front intake fan, (which is likely your best and only reasonable space you can manage to fit another 240mm radiator, dual fan package, that is both close to the GPU for short hoses, and plenty of fresh cool intake air from outside.)
