which 1 out of 7 shall i choose for watercooling and why?

hey guys,

So im planning on watercooling my rig in the near future and need room for ¤ 360 rad and a 240 at least and i fancy a new case to look at

So theres some cases i like but just cant decide!

1) shinobi XL (black with blue window)
2)elysium (black with window)
3)switch 810 (matt black)
4) cm storm trooper (will mod top for a 360 rad)
5)aerocool x-predator
6) HAF X
7) thermaltake overseer RX-I

I will be using the XSPC D5 RX360 kit with an additional RX240 rad, it will be cooling a i5 760 with two GTX670's, (will be just cpu for a few months) so im going to be using a dual bay res/pump combo and nees an additional two bays for a fan controller and disc drive.

So what case would you choose for this setup and why?

Cheers guys and thanks for your time

First off, im not into custom watercooling so i don't know the exact deatils but i do read a lot of reviews on cases and read customer reviews too.

From what i have read the Switch 810, is one of the best case for that kind of use.

Another one you should look at is the 800D, its probably out of your budget but this is very well reviewed aswell..

Im looking around the 150 mark, thats were most of these cases are, theres a 900d coming out that looks amazing but its going to be way out of my budget im afraid

I have had a HAF X for a couple of years now and can recommend it, I can be certain it will fit almost any graphics card and could quite easily entertain a custom loop.

The only downsides are the industrial looks, I really liked it when i first got it, but the more i have it, the more i would prefer something a bit sleeker looking, but thats down to personal tastes.

If you can hack the size and looks of the HAF-X its a very good case, especially for Hot graphics cards as well with the side fan it has with the air duct (apparently designed with Nvidia for their range of 400 series super hot cards)
