I'm pretty certain that with some drilling the mobo tray will fit XL ATX :)

The T11 is worth every penny :
 
Yeah but its kind of out of my price range and at the min im not really looking for hard modding to much my current case now cant fit a powersuply whilst housing my motherboard and its the same size as the tj07 :) so i just want a case that fits the motherboard nicely from the let go :)

The elysium can fit a 360 in the top and the 240 in the bottom, maybe that would be the best choice?
 
thats the one ive been thinking of getting, remembering this is for water cooling and i cant find details about how well it is for water :) i was wanting to use this kit

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-079-XS&groupid=962&catid=1532&subcat=

as its my first time water cooling. im not sure of the comparability of this kit with the case

Edit - im also really keen for aesthetics thats why im kind of picky about this i really want a great looking machine something i can show in the case gallery

500 is quite over on my price and is that 2 reservoirs for just cpu ? that would be crazy performance would this be a lot better performance than the rs360? and i was a little concerned about the size of the rads there quite small arent they

Whenever I spec a loop, I try to make it so that pretty much anything can bve added without needing an upgrade.

There's one res, two rads in there to take full advantage of the elysium.

If it's a CPU only loop, then that will be completely overkill, but the RX 360 kit would be good. The loop I specced includes a 7970 block (feel free to take it out) and you can take the 240 rad out. If you leave the spec as it is, you can quite easily add 3x 7970's into it if you ever decide to. If you take the 240 rad out, then you can have another gfx card, maybe 2 in the loop aswell and it'll still run silently.

Ofcourse, if you have no intentions at all of ever adding GPU's to the loop, then the RX 360 will easily be enough :)
 
i would like to add gpus to the loop but not at present id rather wait untill im sli till i water my 580 seems pretty cool already will be fine for now :D also could you recomend a 580 water block? like i say this is the first ive ever attempted water if i get that entire set minus the gpu block- how would it best be run like what order do i need to be putting the water through for example res-pump-rad-rad-cpu-res or would it be better having it in a different configuration or would it not make a difference

temps equalize rapidly throughout the loop so you can stick the rads anywhere.

The only loop order you should obey is res before pump, but this is only to make filling easier.

All the GPU blocks perform similarly, so go with whichever looks the best.

My personal fav:

it is indeed :D:p
 
You seem to of bypassed my suggestion of the BitFenix Shinobi XL
But I'll pop it in again as it seems to tick all your boxes
Specs list it as XL-ATX compatible
Can fit a triple in the roof, triple in the front and a dual on the bottom
And its nowhere near as fugly as the Elysium
Only small thing is its not out til end of Feb, but if youre in no rush its worth considering
Edit: Oh I guess it doesnt have a window actually

the shinobi is a good case, but the xigmatek is so beautifully big. Really depends on personal taste :p

The shinobi can be made to look good aswell :D

Also, only put 4 fans in the spec earlier, you need 5 :(
 
My main problem with the shinobi is theres no window on it and how big exactly is the elysium because i dont really want something the same size as me and ok so 5 fans not 4 :) gotcha
 
I aint your average male il take a look anyway i think it looks quite nice wouldent say the nicest case but i atleast it has a window :D id use the haf X but could i fit that loop inside it?

you could, but the HAF is **** compared to the elysium

worked with the HAF and it was a bit too small for my liking
