Hey guys,

I've been buzzing around the case forum for a while deciding on a new case - I want to future proof myself for when I finally start my watercooling project.

Are there any cases with the separate bottom section for W/C/Psu stuff like in the TJ07 for slightly less money? :o
 
While not as expensive have a look at the new corsair carbide 540, it's cube like in shape has a nice big window and a separate chamber for the non show off parts like psu, storage drives etc

There's a couple in the project logs I believe with water cooling to give you an idea
 
You pay for the quality. I have loved my TJ07 since the day I got it and never once have I regretted spending £260 or what ever it was back then on one.

Only down side to the TJ07 is lack of space behind the motherboard tray. Might have to make a small cut to allow easy routing for the thicker cables.

Well if I was gonna spend that kind of money, I'd probably go for the CM Comos 2, purely on Aesthetics :O it's beautiful!

Each to their own. I'm not really clued up on current cases as I don't think I'll need to upgrade my case ever.

Can the PSU be side mounted in the COMOS2 like the TJ07? Otherwise it looks as though you would not get a 4x120mm rad in the base like you can in the TJ07.

I don't have enough hardware to need a rad system that big :P I wasn't planning to get a custom loop anyway, just gonna go for sealed cpu kit for now :)

Pfft!! You need to man up hahaha. Well I think the TJ07 would be overkill unless you were going for a custom loop. I don't know what the length of the hoses are on those closed loops but might be too short if you wanted to house in the lower compartment.

I bought my TJ07 when ever it was with watercooling in the back of my mind. I'm now doing my first ever watercooled build.

I love mine but that is the only gripe I have about them. I have made my cut but it is not big enough to be honest so will need to go again.


I really like the mods you can get for the TJ07 as well places like coldzero are awesome at what they do.
