Im in the market for a new case as my current akasa eclipse is getting a bit cramped, ive narrowed my choice down to theese two, initially ill be using air cooling but i may be going to watercooling at some point in the future, which of theese cases would be the best choice, components ill be using are listed in sig.

Only one real answer, especially if H20 is involved..... TJ

I had a read through rjkoneill's build log using the tj07, it does look like a great case, particularly when it comes to watercooling.

I would get odsidian my self because its bigger more room for longer graphics cards

+1 TJ

The Corsair can fit a tripple rad in the roof without any mods.

The TJ07 is a good choice

The tj07 definitely looks great for watercooling, though the plain silver finish internally is a bit iffy, (i prefer black) i suppose i could get it powdercoated, the corsair is black internally, but with it being such a new case theres very few watercooled builds utilising it from what ive seen (well except corsairs own h50) which isnt proper watercooling imho, though the cable management in the corsair is very impressive, this is something that really annoys me on my akasa eclipse, if they could have cut a simple 2 inch slot to route the main 24 pin atx cable through, then take it through the top hole on the mobo tray, it would make a lot of difference, i dont want to do it myself now as it would only detract from what is an otherwise pristine condition case, wouldnt want to effect its resale value as ill be definitely moving to a new case.
