Default Good case for a CPU Water Loop?

Well, I was looking for a new case for when I put in a CPU water cooling loop since my air cooling temps are higher than I want them to be and my Storm Scout is probably too small. What case could fit the rad, res, pump, and all the new fans and stuff?

HAF 932. If you have the budget, then the Corsair Obsidian 800D

Where can I mount the radiator though? That's what I was wondering. I don't really like to mod my case because of my lack of knowledge/tools

800D seems a lil out of my budget i'm looking at under 200$ right now.

I freakin love my Lian Li PC-A71
Tons of room and fantastic for serious modding since it's all aluminum (easy to cut/bend, etc)

these are the two loops I had/have




that's a 360 rad up top with 40mm shroud and gentle typhoons. tons of space top side. a 480 would fit too with some good modding skills.



**edit, never mind if you dont want to do any case modding.
that limits the choices

Don't know if you're still looking for an answer to this, but yes. It fits perfectly. I have mine up top with 25mm Yate Loons on both sides of it.
