Good case for completely internal watercooling for $250-$300US

[lowfat]

I know this has probably been asked many many times but i searched and couldn't find a whole lot.

What I am looking for is a case that I can fit a dual radiator/heatercore completely internal without a RadBox or anything. I also use no drive bays at all, so that doesn't matter much to me.

So far I've found a Silverstone TJ-09 and a Gigabyte Aurora 570, neither of which look like there would be enough clearance from the radiator/fans to the CPU. A Silverstone TJ-07 looks like it would work, but i really don't like how the PSU is at the bottom yet the motherboard isn't inverted.

And no mountain mods case, as they are extremely ugly IMO.

EDIT: I might add that I really love a Stacker 830, but I don't know if a 2X120 heatercore will fit in the front or not.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Lian LI Pc V2000 loads of room but pricey, although I am biased I own one! Just in your budget with postage.

I have the Temjin 7 and it huge plenty of room and much better built than most, I don't like to slag other bits off but I've had most and this is nicer built it all comes to bits with screws no rivets here mate. So it's a modders dream.

Can't fit a dual radiator without modification though. I use to use a PC-V1000, but sold it for that reason.

Is it possible to turn the motherboard tray around so the motherboard is inverted like a Lian Li PC-V1000? If so then it would definatey work. I think I remember seeing this before, but don't know for sure.

lol I thought you want a case that fits dual radiator (2 rads) but now I completely understand that you want a case that fits dual 120mm rad w/o much of modification, I have seen TJ-09 w/ dual 120mm rad mounted on top w/ small 90 angle bracket or Stacker 810. I'd suggest pick the case you like and modify it to whatever you want to fit it in, I think you should find a case that fits triple 120mm rad so you can watercool your whole system, more heat generated in modern technology so bigger rad would be a better choice for future-proof

with a little modding, I have a BI Stealth GT and a BIX in my PC-60, with plans for expansion...

Anything is possible. It's how much work you wanna do.

Uh oh I think you might be in trouble, because pretty much no case fits rads without mods. Gigabyte aurora does but...
You COULD buy one of those thingies that mounts a fan in the drive bays, then attach the rad onto it...eats up 6 drive bays but oh well.

I don't trust myself cutting a $300CAD case.

lian li g70....

Stacker 810, you can mount a dual RAD internal @ the location where dual exhaust 120s are, and another in the front..

or have one laying in the bottom of the case, and one in the front.

plenty of room. Might even be able to mount both rads in the front if you are okay with one optical drive.

Just my .002. Case should cost about...........150-170$ US, not sure about Canadian$$$
