Hate my HAF-x

[lrlcr]

The more I live with it, the more I realise i don't like my HAF-x. It's too garish and there isn't room for really neat watercooling, with only real room for a 3*120 up top and possibly a 120 on the back. I doubt i'll be able to get two 200mm phobya rads in the roof without some big modding.

I'm after a case I can keep indefinitely. I want to be able to fit a couple of rads inside without modding and ideally it'll have a proper backplate for the HDD so I don't need to hook the cables up to the back of the drives. I've got 3-4 HDD for storage which i'd like to put in, none of this single hdd and ssd malarky for me.

I'm looking to WC a 2500k, and a couple of next gen cards (current MSI 6950 TFIII isn't really wc able) down the line, so will need a couple of big rads, and ideally I'd like to use a bay res with an integrated pump.

Is the TJ11 with an icybox 5 bay the only real option? The mountain mods don't look terribly well finished or as neat as the cooling box on the Temjin and the same for the XSPC cases.

If I had the money id go for the TJ11 it has both good air cooling and water if you fancy. I prefer the TJ11 then the mountain mod cases its way more sexier too

Have you looked at the xigmated elysium? It's what I'm getiting next for a water project. It can fit a 420 or 360 radiator at the top and a 240 or even another 360 at the bottom with some slight modding or like I'm going to do a 420 plus 2x 140 radiators. and room for pump and reservoirs etc.
