Good Case for Watercooling

mattfinch · 9 Dec 2008 at 18:37

Ok, so I'm currently using an antec 900, with conventional Air Cooling, but I've had enough with the dust, and am going to get water cooling, so my question is this, what are the best cases to buy for water cooling, preferably all contained inside the case.

But I don't want to end up with a case that's 6' Tall or something, about 900 sized would be preferable.

Oh and some good cable management solutions would be nice.

so, not full tower basicly?

Mountain mods, failing that a Silverstone Tj07 although thats probably to tall

What size rad are you using?

A coolermaster HAF 932 can fit a triple rad in the top without modding the case.

Probably 120x120. I'd only be cooling the CPU and possibly NB.

Pretty much any case can fit with a 120mm rad, it just bolts straight on to the fan.

If you have a thermochill it has different spacings so you will have to drill more holes

Yeah, looks like I'll just end up getting a HAF 932, I've been trying to avoid forking out the money but it is on offer.

Thanks anyway.

Antec 900

I put a 120.3 rad in mine and it works well. Hoover your room if you don't want dust

same here - i've got a 120.2 rad in my Antec 900 and watercooled the cpu and gpu no bother.
