Corsair has also done their own installation videos:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Corsair H50 requires a 120mm fan for
installation. Some cases cannot fit or support
a fan of that size. Before purchasing a H50,
check your case. I purchased my H50 knowing
I would need to mount it externally.
I have not seen an external mount before but
in my situation it should work as expected.
Installation Videos
Check out the video on the motherboard removal, CPU change and H50 installation.
Let’s see some video!
Conclusion
I have a little bit of clean up (on the case edge) but I am very happy with the results. During the summer I can remove the side panel and insert test equipment as needed. With the H50, I can leave the unit on all summer in my hot garage and not worry about CPU temps.
The Craftsman cabinet bracket is removable so I can move it to another rolley or just take it off if I ever want to change PCs.
Added a second fan on June 29th for push-pull testing!
The WEI numbers are not bad considering that the whole rig (with tax) was $321. I did not add a video card (it is a test rig) so I could even get higher numbers for just a few dollars more. For whatever WEI is worth of course…
See you next Friday night,

Nice one Tim – Tiffany is going to kill you one of these days!
Tim has way nicer hands than the gorilla hands guy in the Corsair videos. haha.
Where did the side mount for your roll-away come from (got a link)?? Does it provide for the high-mount of the monitor (via a VESA mount?)?
I've not used the H50, but I know that Corsair documents a dual-fan push-pull scenario, so what about pushing the air out through the radiator or swapping the fan and radiator (and adding a fan grille/guard) and doing a pull though exhausting the heat outside the case instead? Does that case have any other fans beside the one in the Power Supply and if so, did you reverse them from intake to exhaust?
The monitor is mounted on an inverted hanging ceiling mount. The
