New case for watercooling

Calum · 23 Oct 2006 at 16:03

As title, need a new case around the £80 mark.

Not keen on the lan li's, so there's a start at least.

Many thanks

Coolermaster Stackers or Aerocool masstige's (you can pick them up for £35).

The stackers are way outta my price range

You looking at the Coolermaster Stacker 810?

Search for an Aerocool massitge

Gigabyte 3D Aurora

no holes to drill, no pannles to hack open. simply pop a dual radiator on the back of the case ( 2x120mm fans on top of eachother) and pop the water lines through the pre-drilled, pre rubber flapped ( lol ) holes and away you go.

great quality case and tons... TONS of places to stuff wires etc.

Sorry to bring up my old topic, but after reading a few reviews on the internet about the compatibility between the gigabyte 3d aurora and the Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra it seems that lots of people have problems fitting them, would it be better to go for an antec p180?

Here are the pics of the 3daurora:

(sorry about quality - phone cam)

Its messy atm because iv got a new CPU Coming + rad and waterblock etc xD

o0 a virgin one

little tip for you if you wanna keep your wires TIDY !

snap the end parts off the HDD sliders, and then turn your hard drives around so that the wires can be fed from the back.

then take all of the front pannel leads and thread them UNDER the bottom HDD cage. makes the whoel thing look a lot more tidy. gimme a shout if you need pics
