Hi.

I'm looking to purchase a new case for my new build which includes the above mentioned aio cooler as it won't fit in my current Fractal design Define R5.

Ideally i would like to top mount it and for it to come with a glass side panel and i wouldn't like to spend anymore than £150.

Any recommendations appreciated thanks.
 
The radiator and fan are just to big, on fractals website its says there's a thickness limitation of 55m for both fan and radiator and the artics thickness is 65mm for the top.
On the front i have 4 sata ssd's that prevent me from installing it there.
 
I am using one of the optical drives but this morning i've removed it and tried to relocate the ssd's but its more hassle than its worth imo and i'd rather just buy another case, plus as my neice is having my old motherboard, processor and cpu she might as well have the case as well.

So if anyone has any recommmendations i'd greatly appreciate it thanks.
 
I don't really have any other priorities other than getting the radiator to fit, but I've been looking at the Asus tuf gt501which I like the look of, it seems well built, reasonably priced and it has reserved space in the top and front for radiators plus I have an Asus tuf motherboard to go into it not that it will make much difference.
 
I checked out the the Thermaltake but it was a bit more than i wanted to pay and i also looked at the Phanteks P500 but it was out of stock everywhere so i went for the asus as i mentioned above, but thanks for your input it was much appreciated.
