Ok... with my new build in mind I am going to need a monster case... will need to fit the following:

2 Power Supplies
Full water cooling setup with Thermochill PA120.3 120mm Triple Radiator

It would be nice to have lots of room and little modding required to fit the pump and res... also might want to upgrade to 2 loops at some point in the future so space for another smaller radiator and water setup would be nice

Plus the case has to look cool and preferbly be black and have windows... any ideas?
 
Have to agree the Mountain Mods range of cases will do the job fine.I've putting off buying one of these for the past year or so and finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago.I was shocked at the size of the thing its huge & the build quality is excellent.Got 9 x Yate Loons installed running of 2 x zalman fan controllers and the thing is so quiet & the only thing i can hear now is my graphics card fan.So if i was you & like the look of the Mountain Mods cases get one you wont regret it:)

I don't really understand why people rave over these mountain mods things. They look exactly like a gigantic borg cube off star trek. Each to their own i guess.

Seconded, I think they look a mess. Atleast the Lian Li remains classy.
I'd always choose less space and a standard tower case over a cube.
 
The UFO's certainly aint for everyone. Only performance junkies need apply. I personally think Lian-Li cases are bland, boring and unimaginitive. They look nice in an office or a minimilist freaks living area(I have a pc60 for the family in my living room :D) but for those 'extreme' among us the MM cases fit the bill perfectly, of which I have also have U2-UFO in the study to house 'my' pc.

I don't agree that they all look a 'mess', some look a little out there but thats because they allow the owner to express there own taste whereas every lian li I see is pretty much the same as every other one you see.
 
Yup I have to say I am not a fan of the Lian-Li look, but then again I think the thermaltake cases look nice *ducks for cover*... I just think those UFO's look awsome though.. defo going to get one

:eek:

Blasphemy!

I'll show you how a lian-li is supposed to look!

I'm not actually a fan of most mm UFO's, purely because how people have made then look, but i take your ufo as an exception, very nearly bought one purely based on what you did with yours. Only opted for the v2000 because i love the stylish look of my v1000, and would give me a fair bit of work :D
 
Lol m8. Don't get me wrong I do like Lian Li cases, the quality is awesome and they do look stunning yet descrete. Their build quality is the benchmark for other cases to follow but considering the OP's needs then I just can't think of a better case for space and performance than the UFO, especially as it can accomodate a PA 120.3, 2 PSU's and plenty of room for a dual or even triple loop should he wish to expand his cooling horizons in the future with NO modding required. Some UFO's do look tacky but blame that on the owners tastes - I have seen some 'modded' Lian Li's that I think look discusting but others find amazing. I just fail to understand why someone would buy a 'classic' and then mod it with led fans and cathodes. Thats like taking an E-type jag and sticking a spoiler on with underside neons.

Beauty as they say, is in the eye of the beholder.
