Bit of an unusual one here as this is a temporary purchase..
Im looking for a case that I can use as a learning experience for building my first watercooled machine.
Eventually I want to have either a TJ07, or if Im lucky a TJ11 and do something really good with it, but I want to have a practice first and learn the ropes on something else..
It is going to be a sabertooth x79 build, with 2 SSD's and 1 HDD, maybe a DVD, Im not sure yet. I would prefer a mid tower for this, as I have some re-arranging to do before I can get a TJ07 or TJ11 sized case under my desk, that is a seperate project.
Whatever case I use, it will have to fit 2 x 120.2 rads, one top and 1 bottom.
My best bet seems to be the CM690 as it will take all the hardware, but I also like the anidees AI-6BW as it looks OK and no-one has done anythinng with it, so that appeals as well..
measurememts are similar, but I have one doubt. In order to get a PSU and a 120.2 rad in the bottom Im going to need the full 528 mm of the CM690 as there is only 1.5cm to spare based on other builds that I have seen.
The AI-6BW is 527mm, but is that incuding the door, because if it is, then Im probably struggling for space, if it is just the main case, then I could probably get away with it?
Anyone know or have the AI-6BW and could take a measurement for me??
