in need of a larger case.

at the moment i have a cm690 advanced II with 2 x 240mm rads the case is great but i want some more room to work in, is there any bigger cases that can take 2 x 240mm rads with out modification? :confused:

I've heard someone say this before. How practical is it to put Rads on a side panel?
If you make the tubes to long surely there's a risk of kinking/twisting, but if they're too short you can't get the side panel off?

EDIT: I agree about the CM 690 II though, it's a bit snug for watercooling isn't it?

Do you have to stick with 2 x 240's ? Cause the haf case there is pre mounting holes for a 360 in the top and could easily fit a 120 or 140 on the rear.

CM ATCS 840, a 360 in the top and a 240 next to the hdd bays - no mods required. (could use 240 or even a 480 maybe in the top)

I actually really like the CM-690's snugness. I can understand if you want more room to work with or you wish to have a better cooling solution overall, but I think that as long as its kept tidy there is no reason the CM-690 cant meet your needs.
