WC Case Ideas Needed

GiraffePencils · 28 Mar 2014 at 13:07

Hey all,

I'm considering adjusting my PC upgrade plans and was hoping people could give me some suggestions.

I'm wanting it Watercool and would like to fit 2*360mm rads.
Having to mod the case a bit is no problem for me.
And good cases to look at?

Budget 250ish

Make it easy and get an Enthoo Primo?

Got a budget?

Umm I'd say budget's 250, including any mods (materials/paint/etc)

Primo's nice, bigger window'd be nice.

2 360s and 240/280 out of a box, possible upgrade adding another 360.

4 360s max.

420/480 + 360 or 420/480 + 240

Even with most basic options these are really great.
What actually makes them better is that they can be expanded.
Want to upgrade top of the case to allow thicker rads at a later date?
You can buy it easy. All cases can be expanded with a pedestals, that adds 2 rad slots, psu slots, hdd space etc.
Yeah I know, they are expensive but as someone said in a comment on CL site, 'just bought my last case'.

You know you want to

edit: noticed you said 250£, well SM8 would probably cost you around 300£ with delivery and tax, basic options.

Trust me bart, Case labs are high on the want list, but a holiday would also be nice this year, the family wouldn't forgive me

Enthoo Primo without a doubt!

This, got this case but only on air cooling. For 200 quid nothing beats it for water cooling options, it's designed primarily as a wc case, multiple rad, res, pump options. I kinda feel my lowly air cooler setup doesn't do it justice. Best case ive ever owned, and im a bit of a sucker for elegant well designed cases.
