i know nothing about cases but my pnzrbox isnt big enough for watercooled gpu and a psu :(

i want a case with good airflow/fans
iv got 650mm height (-space for airflow with a top fan) and about 550mm depth under the bench width doesnt matter at all.

what is there available?
 
ps it needs to have holes for water tubing to go outside. unless it has room to mount a triple rad internally

Budget?

Watercooling cases (the ones that could fit the tripple rad internally, with no modding):
Xigmatek Elysium (618 H, 663 D)
NZXT Switch 810 (595 H, 585 D)
Corsair 800D (609 H, 609 D)
HAF X (550 H, 550D)

There are other cases that'd accommodate a triple rad, but not in your size specs.

Depending on your rad, you might want to take a look at the Bitfenix Shinobi XL. It will take a 360mm Rad in the top, but only a 45mm Rad max I think, and that's with the one set of fans.

There are other cases that are in this price bracket that can take the equivelant of a 360 rad (650D etc...) but they won't take a complete 360 rad.

budget is dont know lol might be able to stretch to £150 but much more is really pushing it. i dont know how much a decent case would be

what do you think of this?

i could get away wit a longer case and let it poke out from under the desk

that looks like it ticks a lot of boxes

The RV03 can take a massive rad in the bottom of it (I think), but it rely's upon a bit of dremeling, and some general awkwardness.

The Xigmatek Elysium as I said, yeah is a good choice. It'll fit everything you want it to, and probably much more to be honest. It's a behemoth, and probably the best choice for you if you want to be aware of price, but still get masses amount of space in a case that will live mostly underneath your desk.

im leaning towards the elysium it LOOKS like i could fit the triple rad with push/pull fans on it aswell in the top which would be great because the watercooling tubing would be much shorter :)


thanks for the advice il research the others but that is winning so far
 
Oh yeah, you could easily fit that in the top of the Elysium. I think it'll actually do a 420mm Rad (3x140) if you really wanted...

yeh spec says it can :)

can fit a lot of fans in it too

360 rad should be fine for a 7970 and a 3770 though hmm maybe i could swap the rad for a 420 lol
