    Micro ATX case for WC

    I am need of some help.

    I have acquired a ASUS Rampage Gene III X58 Micro ATX Mobo.

    I am need to sell my Silverstone TJ07 monster case and down size (another little one on the way and my gaming room is becoming a nursery ) I currently have an ASUS Sabertooth X58 mobo that I will sell as well.

    Currently in my TJ07 I have 1 x triple 120mm Rad and 1 x double 120mm Rad in my WC loop cooling my CPU only (i7 930 @ 4.2 Ghz).
    My question is what is the best Micro ATX case to house one of my Rad and cool my CPU?

    I have not seen many Micro ATX housing a WC Rad so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Have a look at Fractal Design cases.
    Lian Li A05 is good but requires extensive modding.
    Silverstone TJ08-E is okay.
    Everything else is pretty bad for the most part.
    You could also wait for Caselabs, they are coming out with an mATX case soon.

    I was looking at this as it seems there is enough room in the front for a 240 Rad.

    These can take a 240 rad, yeah, in fact, most can. If you want more rads it gets complicated, though.
    Also make sure to keep video card length in mind.
