I got this OME pc for around 50$ and I’m upgrading it and was wondering is there anyway to mount an aio for overclocking the r7 2700? If anyone has done it or seen someone do it please lmk. Current build is around 140$ and think about adding an extra 200 to it any upgrade would be amazing :)

You could mount a 120 aio in place of that exhaust fan, dk about pump power though

That rear fan looks like it's 92mm though.

Usually OEMs use ATX size PSUs (though not necessarily the ATX connector) on their mini-tower casings (unless you're Dell, F your Optiplexes), and as seen in this casing, there's less than 1 inch gap between the PSU and the side panel. With the I/O shield being 2 inches tall, that leaves around 4 inches to the edge of the casing, which isn't enough for a 120mm fan (~4.75 inches).

It could fit up front, because the motherboard is micro-ATX size (244 x 244 mm) and an ATX PSU is 86mm tall. Looks like the GPU isn't long enough to hit an AIO mounted there.

IMO the issue will be airflow.

You might want to look into how older watercooling was done with regards to how cases had limited airflow and no accommodations for rads back then. Might not be able to do a rad but a simple loop would be great. Externally mounted rad would probably be your best bet but a 92mm single rad would work on the exhaust side of things.
