Re: best case for water cooling

If you can't find a good case for 300 bucks not much we can do for you.

PS what is a watercooling case? All my goodies fit inside my CM Stacker, and you can mod any case with a lot less then 300 bucks worth of tools.

Re: best case for water cooling

Also the CoolerMaster HAF932 is a good candidate for water.

Antec 1200. You won't be LAN partying with a WC setup anyway.

Re: best case for water cooling

Lian-Li PC-P80....
Room for a 140.3 Thermochill in the front and an optical drive too,
enough space inside to mod the Hdd caddies to fit behind the rad....
And one of the few "future proof" cases with 10 expansion slots (in case you go Tri Sli.. )
Some like the look, some don't, but a very capable watercooling case.
