What case for uber watercooling?

So as my idea of the thermaltake GT didnt go down well,

what case would you buy to water cool your rig and gpu?

Ive had a HAFX (ugly) and currently have a NZXT Phantom which wont be good enough for an uber cooling rig.

looking to cool my cpu and gtx590 so no doubt need to house a 360 and a 240 rad

Xigmatek Elysium is definitely worth looking at, its huge

In my opinion, the ultimate watercooling case is still the TJ07, they can be had for around £120 second hand if you can find them!

They do look good, although I've never owned one, but have a look at some of the bigger Lian Li's as well. The V2000, although old, is massive, and looks good IMO. There's a build in "Case Project Logs".

800D is what I would go for.

Silverstone TJ07
Silverstone TJ11
Corsair 800D
Xigmatek Elysium
XSPC H1
XSPC H2
Most of the CaseLabs cases
Most of the Mountain Mods cases.

Can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

For water cooling and showing off - the Danger Den acrylic cases. IMHO nicer than mountain mods

Lian Li A70b suble and pretty!

That would depend on how uber you want it. If we are talking 'uber' that has been done a thousand times before (but has loads of user logs and therefore loads of support/advice), you won't find a much better case than the TJ07. It's a fantastic base for watercooling and requires no/little modding.

If however you want ultimate cooling and you want a little more originality/exclusivity without the hassle of cutting up a case and oodles amount of space then you will be hard pushed to beat the mountainmods range. They are chalk and cheese as far as cases go but are two of the best cases around for watercooling.
