Looking for a case for a watercooling setup(Amd 64 S939, ATI X800, 1 or 2 HDDs, 1 Floppy, 2 optical).

As for the watercooling components. 1 CPU WB, 1 GPU WB, 1 Pump, 1 Heatercore w/ shroud.

Looking to keep all this inside the case in a aesthetically pleasing manner.

So far I have come up with(Correct me if I am wrong on these):

-Chenming 901(Can't find any with a window?... I guess I could always do it after, but I don't have a jigsaw, do have air tools though :stick: )

-Coolermaster Stacker

-Thermaltake Xaser III


More suggestions are welcome(No Lianli please, I just don't care for their looks). And/or which of the 3 would be best?

Thanks guys/gals

I have a coolermaster stacker and it has TONS of room. I didn't mount the heatercore in the case though it was too wide without modding the case, but I have seen them mounted in the front.

most people use the CM staccker, this is good and bad. Good becuase you know it will work of water cooling. (you could wount the rad at the top of the case) and everything will fit. It is bad becuase everyone has one, they arent as cool if a ton of people have it.....

personally, i HATE how the stacker looks. Its just so ugly...

I have the lian li pc75, and while 200$, it has PLENTY of room and the construction quality is excellent. You can take the entire case apart without a screwdriver and it has a built in fan controller that can use 2 3 pin fans.

The CM Stacker is looking good, but it is just so expensive. Quality isn't cheap though ><. I do like the fact that I can go do a dual powersupply though.

I have dual PSU's in mine and they fit great. the only problem is I could not fit the Dangerden Heatercore in the case, so I have it outside the case. this case was too expensive to start cutting. There are some heatercores that will fit in the front of the case without modding the case but mine will not.

That made no sense whatsoever. The cm stacker is an awesome case that is why so many people have then. I guess lian Li's are foul because everyone has one of those too
:D

I was going to go with a lianli but I think they are overpriced and my case has wheels and it has already run over more than a few toes :toast:

Got SL73 from Silverpcs for H2O cooling. Local pickup and some discounts :P Has nice sound proofing (it knocks down sound slightly better proofing will be nice but would be asking too much :P), wheels, and detachable thick aluminum door in front. Still pondering over how to mod the case for double heatercore and double 80mm radiator :P (one for CPU one for GPU, I am going to have 2 separate loops)
