Im in the process of getting a hold of a new water cooling setup and basically im looking for a case that i can either just cut two 120mm holes in the top to fit a 240mm rad. Im not looking for a case that will take lots of work as i dont have the time anymore to hack and slash.

What is important to me is that the case looks good, is light (aluminum) and is nice and roomy. As for budget im trying not to go over £140.

What case would you guys recommend, iv had my eye on the Eclipse 62, 3D aroura and a few others, however baring in mind that iv got a X1900XT and two HD's i dont think the 3D aroura is adaquate (plus poor input ventilation) and nor do i think the Eclipse 62 is the right case due to it being a bit short. :confused:

The aurara would be good as it has the dual back fans so it will be a doddle to mount the rad there. Where dya get the idea that the front ventilation isnt very good? - I havent heard that complaint before.

When you say the Eclipse is short, I presume you mean in height not depth ;)
I imagine you could fit 120.2 rad in the top if you don't use the top dvd drive slot.

i found the review on customPC mag website. Also looking at the XbitLabs review of the case the HD temp is rather high compared to a thermaltake shark.

As for eclipse being short i did indeed mean in height, i was tempted to call it short and stumpy :p

i was also looking at some Lian Li cases but im not to keen on the 80mm fan holes found in many of the full tower cases which id consider more suitable for water cooling.

Get an original Coolermaster Stacker... If you can find one, it seems OcUK have stopped stocking them now? :confused:

i think coolermaster must have stopped producing them :eek: despite them being preferred by the overclocker over the paper thin 830.
