    Smallest case I can get to fit my hardware?

    I need to know whats the best case to get that will fit my hardware. Something thats not overly giant.

    I have a D5, Swiftech Storm, and normal sized dual heater core (2x120mm). I have a thermaltake tsunami dream right now and there is noway it will fit.

    I plan on putting the heatercore in the top of whatever case I get. I want everything to fit nicely all inside the case.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks

    full tower case. a mid tower would be pushing it badly.

    I have seen people do dual 120mm rads in Lian Li PC-60/65's.... but that was with modding I think...

    The thing with the mountain mods Twice7 is that the 120mm fans are spaced quite far apart. also, cubes are just plain bigger...

    Thanks for all the tips. I really like the look of that Silverstone TJ03. I still have to look at all the others you guys posted. In the Silverstone TJ03, would putting the dual rad up top interfere with the first 2 dvd drive slots? If so I could just mount my fan controllers up there.

    Seems like its a spaced out enough case inside that the pump will fit fine too.

    I'll probably pick the best one in a $200 price range.

    It would interfere with the top two bays, however you could put your fan controllers up there.

    it's possible with a kingwin case kt624.. it's similar to the lianli pc60 series.




    but it must be modified inorder to fit.

    Do the mountain mods cubes come in the 200$ price range? if not ive always been a lian li fan.

    check www.directron.com, they have a ton of cases on there. and had some of the cheapest prices I could find.
