Thinking off

As title thinking of getting Antec P180 aluminium super miditower, buildinf a video encoding tower needs to be silent so will be water cooled will it have enough room for all the bits?
As this tower is about the same size as my existing Antec box and water fits ok in there, but the inside of this one is a bit different so hence the post.
Thanks

water cooling to keep it quiet is silly.

get a decent aircooler and a good fan.. save urself a load of beer tokens and avoid the fuss of waterccoling all together.

you would need atleast one fan on the rad anyway, more if you want half decent temperatures.

Just buy the Antec P182 (steel, so its quiet).

Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler as listed above, Noctua case fans (5 of them) or Sharkoons. Then get quiet HDD's, (i.e. Samsungs or Western Digital Caviars), plus a quiet PSU (Enermax Modu+ or Corsair) and if necessary, put a third party HSF on your graphics card.
