Sorry but another spec me a case thread!

I been slowly looking through threads trying to decide what case to get as my current thermaltake damier seems to roast my components + its pretty ugly!

I want to spend not more than £100 and I want one with a window or one with a window availible for it. Also and heres where im getting stuck it needs to be able to fit a double thermochill radiator. Preferably in the case but i would consider mounting it outside if it looked ok.

I'm thinking along the lines of an Eclipse 62 but i need to be persauded on fitting my water cooling in it!

Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case - No PSU (CA-005-AK) - £82.19

If you want to spend a little more, i'd personally choose

Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Silver) (CA-039-AN) - £91.64

P180 i've just got yesterday, and its a very well built and designed case.

Thanks the antec looks great and ive considered it but i dont think it would be very good for water cooling.

I seriously want the eclipse 62 but just need that final push on where I can fit my 2x120 rad and my eheim 1250 pump?

Well the Kandalf has enough room for your pump plus tube holes in the rear of the case...but at £113 its not cheap.

Akasa Eclipse.
It really is an awesome case

am so close to buying the eclipse does anybody already have one with a double rad and a large pump fitted? if so pics would be good!

You can fit a 120.3 in one comfortably as I have seen it done, although I have no pictures to hand.

The P180 has more threads on this section with issues than any other I have known, bar the P150.

Support is excellent, but you have to use it far to much on the Antecs.

Eclipse is the way to go if you want watercooling, or a Lian Li G70, Stacker 810 / Original.

About the top three options before you start talking £300+ on the case.

Just what i wanted to hear all i need now is to hunt down some pictures!!!

Check the watercooled cases gallery on here, it should be about somewhere in overclocking and cooling.

Thanks Ive found a few.

Just looked at the stacker 810 and have decided it fits my needs better as it already has room for a twin radiator. Just got to find someone who stocks them and the window panel now!! Thanks for the help
