Need a new case

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about getting a new case so I can tuck my PC away rather than having it on top of my desk... The current case I have is the corsair 200R but need something a little smaller and with the capability of watercooling in the future. I have an ATX mobo so unfortunately a mATX case isn't an option at the moment.

I measured the vacant space I will utilise and the size of the case needs to be no more than: 39cm high x 29cm wide x 38cm deep. This is with allowing for a few cm either side and 5cm at the top for some air flow.

Can anyone recommend a case within those limits?

Thanks
 
Wow that's a smart case! I really do like it, I love the idea of separate sections for mobo and PSU etc. Much like the corsair 540. Literally the only thing I don't know if I need is the CD drive. With it being mounted at the rear it might be a bit of a problem as the PC would be pushed up against a wall with the exception of cables coming out the back... Other than that it pretty much ticks all the boxes. :)
 
Are there any other cases that have two separate compartments? I only know of the corsair 540 and now this cooltek W2

Also, I've watched a couple of reviews of the cooltek W2 and I'm struggling to understand how it can offer good air flow seeing as the two front fans are blocked by the aluminium front panel?

Would this impact of on the effect of watercooling if the Rad was positioned there?
