Hi All
hvaing found out just how how the chipset on a 680i gets im looking to go dual loop and WC my board as well as the cpu and sli so theres no way that all going on one loop.
problme is im pretty sure it wont fit my stacker (810 before you say uts been done as ive only seen 83*)
so whats the cheapest case that will hold that easily or has anyone done dual in a 810(im off to scower the threads now).

Rocketfish at your local best buy(pending you live in the states). I have dual loops in my G70(like the older sibling to the Rocketfish case, both made by Lian-Li) and it honestly looks like the case was made to run dual loops. There is just enough space to fit everything.

I have a Stacker T01. That is the same size as the 810, only the 810 has the PSU on the bottom of the case.
So you would need to put one of the rads at the top of the case.
I have all in one single loop, but could make it into 2 loops easily (adding one pump)
All I have in my Stacker is in my sig. And a link to some pictures.

G70 - http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=204&products_id=4258
Its old now I figure. There are newer case that replace this one apparently.

Lian Li made it for Best Buys Rocketfish brand.
You'll only be able to see it on the Bestbuy and Rocketfish websites.

For the price you pay, It's a great case, even at the $120 mark. Granted I payed $50 for mine.

The Durham NC Best Buy has them for $50. I'm not sure of the price in other stores, but they are all under $120.

think im going to try and get a rocketfish imported , couple of sellers on ebay that say they will ship to hear.
real shame actually as it would sell like wild fire ,if i can egt one sent over im gonna buy as liek you said they do go for about $60 on the bay so thats like £30 whihc is unhearrd of over here !
