If you had done any research other than what we had told you in your past threads you would have seen that both cases can comfortably fit 120mm radiators internally without modification, and they should both take dual rads on the back using a special fitting.

With modification You could easily fit a 120.2 in the top of the Eclipse, not so sure on the PC7, haven't got one to hand that I can measure.
 
After much research i have decided to get this
Lian li
With fans the eclipse comes close to that price so anyone would be mad
to get the eclipse over the lian li. :cool:

Swings and roundabouts, the Eclipse has superior air cooling but the V series is built better.

Long argument that has had me and WJA96 in a debate on here for well over a year, we have come to a sort of truce that each has their place and their own merits but for the majority of people the Eclipse is superior.

The difference between superb and superb is not much each with their plus points, whichever camp you are on you think that one is the best.

Viva la v1000+! ;)

Anyway to the matter in hand, buy a Zen. As has been said... a few times by lots of people actually in the past... you will not appreciate a Lian Li until you see one in the flesh, they look nothing like the pictures for a start.

If you do not want to listen to the advice of people on a forum then it is your decision, but it appears that the same advice is being offered in this thread as before. Stick to a standard case design, be it NZXT, ATCs, Lian Li or Akasa made. Just stick to a 120/120 setup.

Get the 900 if you want, it is a good case if you have the system to make the most of it and potentially it can out perform an Eclipse depending on if you trust an inaccurate way of measuring temperatures or not. :)

what do you mean by 120/120 setup, do you mean 120 mm fans front and back.

Not plural, singular. 120mm fan front, 120mm fan rear.

Yet to find a motherboard that measures temperatures accurately.
 
Because if you have fitted water cooling into a lot of cases you could probably get a dual loop in comfortably, but if you have never done it before you may struggle to fit one loop.

You could always get a system like the reserator, what water cooling gear you going to be fitting?

A lot changes with computers in a year.

You may be best just buying a great air cooling case now like the PC7+ then upgrade to say a G70 next year.

need new case cant be any bigger than 64x55x21cm d-h-w, im building it in june/july with fans then thinking bout going watercoolin next year bout july o and it needs to fit a 8800gtx, i dont like the designs of lian li but like the antec 900

I was in the same situation, in the end I opted for a thermaltake eureka.
Has room for an extended atx board. Installed a 9700nt. 680i and a 8800gtx in it and it still looks empty. Also has a removable mobo tray.



Oodles of room for SLI and personally think it looks better than the nine hundred. The nine hundred does fit but have heard its still tight.

Has premade holes for water cooling at rear so you can mount an external radiator without futher case modification.

Worth a look
