New case for watercooling.

Vigoro · 25 Aug 2008 at 23:59

I am looking for a new case, as i have decided i want to build up a watercooled system over a couple of months ^^, and i would like some suggestions please!

It has to be able to fit a p5q-e motherboard and a 4850, but i also want to be able to fit in a 360mm radiator inside of it aswell, as my p182 seems too tight for space.

I also want a small ish case preferably sub £100!

Hope this isnt too much to ask ^^

why do you need the rad on the inside? an antec 900/1200 would mount the rad on the back using a radbox

Vigoro · 26 Aug 2008 at 00:23

Personal preference, i prefer having all my components in one case rather that hanging off the back. If i wanted it on the outside i could do that with my p182

Silverstone Tj-09 or even TJ-10 is highly recommended.

I just got a TJ-09 for the same reason as I was fed up having my rad on the outside of my p160 case.

Nice neat tidy job with loads of space inside now. Money well spent and a bargain for £90 from MM

a V1000+ for circa £50 - £60 second hand. Theres a couple on MM at the moment.

Silverstone TJ07 - Awesome case and lot's of room. Can accommodate a quad radiator too. I'm waiting to get the internals of mine powdercoated.

Bit expensive for me liking :rolleyes:

Akasa Eclipse 62:

Loads of width as well as height.

Or if you've got the will power to save up long enough....the TJ-09

Had it two years nearly - lots of different hardware in there across these shots

was debating getting a micro atx motherboard and putting it in an old case i got lying around with a rad in the bottom

doubt it would work

AndyOcUK · 27 Aug 2008 at 12:53

My RAD is mounted on the back with one of these:

Absolute GENIUS solution IMO

Vigoro · 27 Aug 2008 at 13:02

Well i got one of these lying about at the minute, and i either use it to mount all the watercooling stuff in and have it next to my p182, or flog it to my brother for a silly amount ^^

CoolerMaser Cosmos S will fit a 120.3 rad in with no mods.

Brilliant case. I have one and did fit a Thermochill 360 rad inside by removing the hdd bays.

AJ_ · 27 Aug 2008 at 20:53

Lian Li A05-B. you can fit 2x MCR220's in, and its one of the smallest full ATX cases on the markets. Its only £70 aswell.

Gog · 27 Aug 2008 at 22:46

Eclipse for me too.

Cut the top and fitted a MCR220, with the micro-res fits nicely on the side of a drive bay. Pump sits behind the HDD cage at the bottom. Got my lighting on a switch in the front PCI slot.
