What's the phanteks full tower case like for watercooling an sli-tri system dual loop? Enough space. I have the 900d thinking maybe it's time for a change.
The 480 that can fit down the bottom can it be on its side or has to lay flat?

What would their other cases be like ? I will be cooling cpu, Mobo, ram and a single gpu. I'd like to look at one but know no one.
 
Thing with phanteks is that they are fairly new at making cases, so they don't have the experience like other manufacturers. Which shows because they waste space in their cases with useless, riveted **** and ****ing nailed expandability and compatibility.

I don't know the specifics but their cases are really good for watercooling as they have thought about how loops will work when built. So include purpose made fittings to put your res and pump etc. There is also absurd amounts of rad options in the Primo and the Pro is well featured too for a mid tower.
 
The rad lies flat. Not being funny, but you can easily tell by simply looking at the case :)
You can also do a simple Google image search for 'enthoo primo water cooled' to see what others have done with theirs, as well as check out the build log section here.
 
I'd have honestly gone for one, I regret getting the nzxt 820 now.

Saying they're new to the game is rather funny. Theirs a pump mount in the case spec made for ddc/d5 pumps. The only downside is the large bay but you can put the hdd cage in the bay. THe fact you can put a 420 in the roof and a 480 in the bottom means you can have more than enough cooling for any system. Even if tri-sli, theirs lots of youtube reviews on it also which have looked at it purelly for watercooling.
 
I have one Enthoo Primo with dual loop and 3 gpus, 2x360, 1x240 and 1x120 rads.. but you can fit 2x480 (top and bottom).
Top is an easy fit, the bottom could be trick depending on your rad, because I'm using AX rads they are a little bit bigger than normal rads, so I had to make it fit on the bottom, normal rads would be ok.

The tube reservoir is for the gpus and for the cpu I'm using a bay reservoir, also I have a 240 rad on the front that you cannot see on the picture.

Nice build dude currently using 2 ek 480PE Rads and a single 240PE in a 900D I have been looking at their smaller cases to.
