Hello everyone, I am about to embark on the process of planning then funding then building my first custom liquid cooling setup.
I have 2 options for cases.
My old Cooler Master HAF 932
Mine isn't the new advanced model pictured here, dunno if there are any changes other than the random USB3 things in the middle of the 5.25" bays.
Or my Cooler Master CM690ii
The HAF has lots of rust on it since I used to live by the sea when I was a kid and dust would collect on the top and salty water residue would settle on the dust causing pretty major rust strait through the paintwork, so to use this I was thinking of sending it to a car panel beater company, maybe they can sand it down and give it a really nice coat of paint, but this is an extra expense, so for now maybe I'll use my other case...
The other case is pretty small, I barely cramp my motherboard, GPU and 120mm radiator from my H50 in at the moment. I have seen some people get nice looking results from a CM690ii, however for my first build maybe it's a little ambitious?
Any thoughts?
P.S. if anyone has found and pictures of a HAF932 done up with watercooling pleeeease link me, I've found nothing here or even with google images.
