Watercooling case question

amdandy · 25 Jan 2013 at 17:08

I am looking for a case that can fit a 360mm radiator in the roof and a 240mm radiator in the bottom without any modding, I have had a coolermaster haf x for the past two years and fancy a change. I have been looking at the nzxt phantom 820 as I don't want to spend a stupid amount of cash on a case, I am looking to spend between 2-300 at the most and must be understated looking (not too flash looking) if that makes sense, cheers in advance.

Meant to say, it would need to fit a maximus v extreme mb

Switch 810, elysium and I think the shinobi xl

I quite like the look of the Elysium, would a thick 240mm rad fit straight in the front of that case or failing that how about mounting it in the bottom of the case across from the power supply as I have a couple of different rad mounts ( I am useless at measuring and drilling holes and would end up mucking it up)

As above

I'd go for the Switch 810 but I'm biased

Should have no bother with a thick 240 in the front of the elysium

I forgot to have a look at the switch 810, I have to admit that case is pretty much exactly what I am looking for and will fit my 2 watercooling loops.

It will indeed, the Phantom 820 is basically a Switch 810 with an extra £50 on the price tag

The switch is a great case for the money, I recommend it to many

I like it, it is nice an not flash but can hide a monster PC inside

I have the elysium with a thick 240 in the bottom in front of psu and a 360 in the top no problem

Another vote for switch 810 (biased again though) you should easy get a 240 in the bottom, i have a 280 down there with small modding.
