So, I recently bought a Swiftech H20 220 Ultra kit and went to install it in my P182 (which I love as a case), the only problem is that it is far too small with a GTS8800 in the case as it is with just air cooling.

So I am looking for a new case to put my stuff into, I want a big case, if I can install the water cooling kit internally without too much modding then I dont mind, but I have no problems with it on the ourside of the case (but would prefer not to have to drill holes through the case)?

I have been looking at Lian Li and Silverstone but dont really know what people think, each's merits are. So any suggestions?

Price not a major issue.
 
Good place to start would be either the Lian-li V2000, just go over to xtremesystems and view the V1000/V2000 thread and have a look at other people's rigs.

Akasa eclipse would also be good for the swiftech kit, nice wide case allows you to situate the pump near the front of the case at the bottom where the drive bays are with enough space for the swiftech rad to run in the floor of the case.

Never any experience with wc'ing and a silverstone so can't say much about them.
 
In relation to the eclipse and v2000 the floor of the case is pretty much the only place you can sitiuate the rad without modding :)
 
My fav. has to be the lianli 343b.

Plenty of room, and the ability to add more loops later on if you require.

You want a big case, you cant get much bigger :D

Love mine :D
 
Ok, so interesting cases so far:

Silverstone TJ07B

Looks awesome, but even I balk at £270 on a case. So I want someone to tell me it is beyond awesome and I will never need another case.

Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P80B

This again looks awesome, even better than the one above. Not as pricey but still a fair chunk. I think I am currently leaning towards this.

Lian Li 343b, I dont like the look of. And I do want it to sit under my desk, which the ones above will. But this one wont due to the table having a weird shape and a leg in the wrong place.

Or what about one of these:Lian-Li PC-V2110B
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...i PC-V2110B Aluminium Super Ful Tower - Black

Is the price difference worth it between the teo Lian Li cases?

Any other suggestions for water cooling I am missing.

Again aim is on minimal modicifation and a system doesnt require everything jammed in.

I am fairly confused right now and dont know what I should be leaning for, as my main aim is ease of setup. (Im a lazy *******).
 
The more I look the more impressed I am with this, and I think I will maybe go for it: Lian-Li PC-V2110B

Any final thoughts before I order?
 
Lian Li A70/A71.

If you can't fit your water cooling internally then it has the holes out the back for the pipes already.

I reckon will be less modding then the 2110 as well. Lian Li also bring out some ready available tops precut for 120mm fans in the roof as well for use the A70/71 7010/7110 series.

I have a 120.3 in the top of mine & it will take a 120.2 in the front with a small bit of modding;) Loads of space
