ok looking to go into water cooling not long got an antec 900 but its smaller than my old case (casetek ck-1020)
so i want something big
any ideas? ohh must be black aswell
 
Stacker T101/810? Those are available in black, but bezel is silver. Also a few of the LL are very roomy (2000 line) but quite expensive.
 
Lian Li PC-G70? V2000?

I've had the Eclipse, and have the PC-A10, and i would say they are air rather than water cases. TJ-09 looks the same.

Roomy but not big, once you fit hard drives, limited space for resovoir by the looks of it. Just a standard Midi tower.

Not noticed how wide it is?
space for a pump and res behind the hdd bay easily, could even put the res on *** side of the 5.25 bays if it is fairly thin (less than 4 cm ish)

Yeah but do they have to be ugly as well as large?

Well the Mozart and the Cube cases aren't that appealing visually imo.

Anyone you should be looking at your screen (or maybe your keyboard if you are n00b!) not the case!
Function over Form.
 
still, the Eclipse isnt the best case to mod to fir WC into. Not many 5 1/4 bays for bay mounted WC, and the top has the PSU which'll restrict the space for WC up top.

PC-G70, tons of space, some would say it's the ideal watercooling case (short of an MM).... can EASILY fit a 120.3 internaly, and probably another loop for gfx if needed. I've seen good setups in TJ-07's as well.

guys, he wants a case for WATER COOLING, so stop going on about how good the Eclipse is, although you can sneak a pump/res down the side, you will be HARD pressed to fit a 120.3 in there, max limit is nearer to 2x120.2, 1x120.2, and that's if you dont mind sacrificing half the drive bays to fit a 120.2 on the top, and you dont have a stupidly sized PSU.

MM's cost a fortune, fow which you can probably buy another case AND the watercooling. I'd say get a cheaper case (which is just about ANY case) and spend the money on decent WC, especialy if it's your first time.

I'd look around, and try and find some pics of WC rigs in the different cases, and compare that to what YOU want to build. That way you'll have an idea on placement, performance, and not be dissapointed.

N00b? Can we talk like adults here please?

I'm sorry but since my computer sits in my living room then the aesthetics have their place. You don't have to look at it all the time but it helps if it looks in place in your house. Since you can have form and function (most of the Lian Li range) then I'd choose them before sacrificing form for function.
