Mitx and watercooling. Worth the effort?

CJonny · 29 Jul 2015 at 20:26

As above really im looking to build a micro itx build when skylake comes out. I really like the idea of a wc 250d or Prodijy case. I just wanted your guys opinions on whether it is worth the effort of going small form factor running a loop For a cpu and gpu or would it be a lot easier getting a medium size atx case?

I'd say yes as i'm planning one in a 250d, going to be a squeeze though

Going to be easier in a bigger case but where's the fun in that!?

I haven't seen this case? Shall check it out.

It's going to be a LAN PC, not touching my main PC with Watercooling

I have been very tempted but i'm not rich enough for z170 at the moment, although the boards are gorgeous.

I do like the look of the evolve case. Plus it looks to be slightly larger than cases in the other builds I have seen, so maybe room for 2x 240 rads in there.

im not 100% sure because i havent been around the PC scene for long but the z170 boards shouldnt be as costly as the x99 boards. thats why im waiting. im on a z68 now lol.

you would do a WC loop in your LAN (carrying it around so things could come loose) PC?

i think it fits a 280mm in the roof and a 240 in the front
