Hi guys & Gals

Need a case that will do the following job going to be a water cooled case i would like a dual loop setup and would like to fit in a 480 and 360 OR two 360. However i dont want fans to sit in the bottom of the case as i will be having the case sitting on my desk and i do have papers on the desk as well.

Also i need to have 5 5" bays free to use for dvd drives and fan controller, and 4 3" bays for my harddrives.

Any help would be great please


Will be using the asus extreme IV board as well
 
will i have room for a 360 at the front of that case plus the 5 5" drives plus my hard drives, cause if i do this would be ideal

Dont want to put fans on the bottom of the case..
 
+1 for the Elysium.

Why dual loops? It's completely pointless.

The elysium is one of the best for watercooling. Maybe a TJ07?
 
ok with a single loop the cooling fluid runs through the CPU the mosfet the bios chips the ram and then onto the dual GPU,by the time it hits the GPU's its not cool enough to effectivley cool the GPU's

one loop for the MB other loop for the GPU,

looks like either the ely or the TJ then
 
Can you still actually buy a tj07.... Surely you'd be looking at a tj11.

Alternatives are corsair 800d, xigmatek Elysium, haf x, cosmos s2, shinobi xl

It'll be fine. Trust me ;)

i promise you it's a complete waste of time and money

TJ11 is in a completely different price category to the 07. The 11 is basically big 07 with all the issues solved and many imporvements, but it's not really a replacement for it

Alternatives are corsair 800d, xigmatek Elysium,
haf x only 360 rad :/
, cosmos s2,
shinobi xl same problem as HAF, unless you lose drive bays

I'm pretty sure you can only fit a 360 in the top of an Elysium and 240 in the bottom, unless you lose drive bays/optical bays, in which case you can fit the 480 in front and 360 in top.....

May be wrong though, but that was my belief...

That's correct, but that's 600mm of raddage without losing any drive bays whereas the other cases can only offer 360mm

Hmm thought a 240 in the bottom of the Xigmatek messed up the PSU cabling - might not, but I remember TTL mentioning it. So may have changed since then. But can't quite remember...
