Im tiered of my ABS Black Pearl and Im thinking of getting a new case.
this is a great deal, and after promo code you get it for roughly $100 with free shipping. My question is, will it fit a 360mm rad up top and 240 in the bottom with minimum to none modifications?

Thanks thumb.gif

From what I can see as I don't own the case It won't fit a 360 or a 240 without some cutting. The vent on the bottom is only for a single fan so airflow would lack there if a 240 was placed without some cutting. Up top there is mounting for a 240 but clearance would be a slight issue against the top of the motherboard.

You'll need to dome cutting here, that's for sure. If you really wanted to do something with no modifications you could install a Corsair or Antec Watercooler such as Corsair H80, 100 or Antec Kuhler, just mount it on motherboard exhaust port, for 360 you're out of luck here for 240 it's possible mount it, but I believe that clearance would an issue. I'd get Corsair 800D or Xigmatek Elysium a 360 rad can fit there without any problem.

Thanks guys for your answers. So what about an NZXT switch or HAF X, or HAF 932?

HAF X will be able to fit a 360 Rad, you'll have to remove 200mm fans on top to achieve that, almost no modding whatsoever. As far HAF 932 I've had no experience with it, but I've heard it is possible to fit a 360 in it. NZXT Switch, judging by the pictures a 360 may fit in there but I am not certain.

Yeah judging by the pictures it seems like it. Found two more cases Im interested in....Coolormaster Storm Trooper, and Rosewill black hawk ultra. Its going to be between these two and the HAF X

storm trooper = air cooled - supports H 100 with push pull on top
Haf x = liquid cooled - should support everything ?

your better off with the HAF X for what you asked
but personally i would get the storm trooper and i will be getting it soon XD
