Default New case, water cooling Help!

Good morning,

I am looking for a case to install this stuff: http://www.overclock.net/intel-gener...ml#post7524658

As you can see originally I planned on getting a corsair obsidian, but I have changed my mind. I am now looking for a cheaper case, that I can get a 360 rad into.

I am quite happy to cut into the top of the case or something to put the rad in, and also will cut out my own side window. I already have a dremel and jig saw so meh

I would like to get a case that would allow for modding in the future (or simple things now like a side window ect)

Lian li has caught my eye lately, would this fulfill my requirements: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=12342

If not any other case suggestions? I'm aware of the cosmos (top of my price bracket at the moment) and HAF (I would cut out the window and grill and put my own window in)

The Lian Li would work, if you were planning on putting the radiator mounted on the top, near the PSU, it may pose a challenge.
I recommended this case to someone the other day, it's huge and has tons of head room for large radiators (A lot of modding opportunities):

I would have issues getting that chieftec case in australia, also would rather stay away from thermaltake.

I imagine I couldn't get a rocketfish here either , Islands can really suck sometimes.

with the 70f if i took off the top harddrive cage, recon I would get a radiator in there then? Because i would definatly not have that many harddrives

Do you mean the 5.25" caddy on the same level as the PSU rack? I think you might be able to wedge a 360mm rad. in that space... Let me find the 70f's dimensions.

Edit: I didn't even notice - you can mount your PSU at the bottom. Problem solved!

mm according to this picture http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/...c1fdc7aabd.jpg

looks like there is not enough room as radiator is 410mm.

I just remembered another requirement, I wish to put in another loop later, with a 240 rad, don;t think this lian li could get two in

bugger double post, my bad
