Default Help Me find a new case! ( to shove my WC loop in of course)

So I have My Pc in an Antec 900, with switching to water air flow isn't as big a deal as it once was ( yes you still need decent airflow for any and everything that isn't in the loop so don't be like LIES THATS NOT TRUE). Anyway I am looking @ full towers as i want to integrate my 360 rad into the case or at the very least one where i have more room my current loop is kinda meh since it was my first go I plan to order more tubing so i can re... uh re plumb it ? Any way a pic will be up shortly to show you what i mean

I think if I were buying a case for WC'ing it would be a Cooler Master Stacker... Or a Chemming/Chieftec server if I wanted to mod it much....

It will not be easy to find a case where the 360 will fit easily. However, with a little modding, there are a couple of great choices. I have this Lian-Li PC-G75B case and when I mod it this summer, I should have enough room for my 480 rad to fit into the top. (See my sig build logs to check it out).

I believe that a 360 easily fits into the bottom of this case, as well as this one. You may also be able to fit a 360 in the front of a Thermaltake Armor or a Coolermaster Stacker.

*I'm using xoxide.com to find these: http://www.xoxide.com/full-tower-cases.html

Yea, the V2000 will fit a 360 rad into the bottom bay assuming you remove all the HDD racks down there, so you will have to find another place for them (Lian Li sells 2 or 3 bay rack devices that can hold your HDDs).

Yeah, I have one of those nifty three-bay ones with the fan in front. Its really quite nice.

edit: how the hell? I just posted this, and yet it said I did it an hour ago. Trippy.... so am I in the past, or am I in the present changing the past? Either way, Admin needs to fix this before we rip a hole in the time-space continuum.

edit edit: sigh... saved the edit and the clock went back to normal. WTH?

yeah im not sure if i really want the rad internal as CD just made me a great looking fan shroud, but at the very least the Antec900 is just so cramped with the 1/2 OD tubing

Silverstove TJ07. CyberDruid did a built for QuakeMazer and he fit a quad rad in it:

As you can see there's a lot of room in it:

(didn't embed the pics because it would have stretched the thread). Here's the link to the build log if you're interested.
