case?

[shocktech]

hey i decided im not gonna get water cooling for my first build... but i still want to get a case thats big enough to fit watercooling for the future.. i was looking at either the LL pc-65b or the chenming 601... are they big enough and what do you think of them. (parts i want are in my sig)

[MaxxxRacer]

You can fit water into quite a small case, but you have to make some compromises.

The 75 is huge and you can fit water in easily.
The problem I have with it is that it sticks out a long way (its very long)

I ended up getting a PC60 for my PC parts and I put a PC50 underneath for the watercooling.

What watercooling are you going to get, best to decide that then choose the case.

the pc50 is still big enough, even though it's hard to get everthink fit. but it is possible to get a good watercooling setup inside a pc50, even though there isn't then enoguh room for moren then a dvd player and 2 hdd's.

after i get my parts and build it im going to upgrade to water cooling when i get the money... thinking this:
Pump:swiftech MCP655
CPU block: swiftech STORM copper
GPU block: low profile acetal maze4 6800 (does that fit the 7800?)
radiator: thermochill HE 120.3
tubing: primoflex 1/2ID uv green with 10 steel hose clamps and swiftech coolsleeves 625
reservoir:typhoon single 5 1/4 bay uv green
Tline:danger den blue aluminum fillport
coolant: 8oz zerex
and arctic silver 5... where do you put the arctic silver 5 with water cooling?

oh and if you have any suggestions on what to get please make them.

also im not sure if i should get any fx series off ebay... i hear the 3700 san diego is just as good as them... correct me if im wrong. also dont know about the 2 hitachis.. might just get 1 of them then get a 36gb raptor what should i do? :P

ive got an antec plusview 1000 (chenming 601) and with my setup its pretty cramped in there! im looking into getting a new case in the upcoming year.

chevette core with 2 coolingworks shrouds and 2 sunon 120x38 in push/pull, mcp-650, swiftech storm G4, 2 hdd's, 1 dvd-rw, 1 dvd-rom, hardcano12, video/sound cards.

everything is internal and its VERY, VERY tight. nice looking though, imo.
