What would be a case that has the most room to put the radiators and/or pumps/reservoirs. I'm looking for the roomiest case, not the biggest. Usually big cases waste their space on 11! 5 1/4th bays.....does anyone NEED that much space? I hate my Armor, so much waste...

Is there an ATX-compatable cube out there? Is it worth getting for inserting radiators/pumps?
 
U2-UFO, Silverstone TJ-07, or any other case mentioned in the hundreds of "Best watercooling case" threads that would have turned up if you had searched ;)
 
The Gigabyte 3d Aurora, Silverstone TJ-07, Mountain Mods U2-UFO, Lian-Li V-2000
 
I always loved that UFO case... Its bad ass, but hsa a nice price tag. I will let you know how I like the Gigabyte Case once I get everything rockin :)
 
Thanks for the help. Also: Sorry about forgetting to search, I am usually too damn lazy. So thanks for handling the repeat thread.
 
Just picked up a stacker 810 myself.
I am in the process of cutting the hole for dual 120mm rad on top and am likeing it so far.

I debated between the T01 and 810, but decided on the 810 because I like the dual 120mm exausts so I can put my 120mm rez in place for one of the fans.
Also, the price I got for the 810 made it a better choice for me, over the T01.

In other words, get a T01 or 810 depending on the exact requirements you want since both kick booty.

gigabyte 3d aurura. you can fit a 120mmx2 rad on the inside. roomy and has big holes with gaskets on the rear panel for running hoses to the outside.

I'm using an Antec P180 for my single loop water-cooled setup.

Doesn't seem too cramped. I shall have pics up in the next week or so.

However, if you're going for a double or even triple-120mm rad, then I'd recommend a full tower such as the Lian-Li PC75.

How the hell do you install the DVD drive, I have a Plextor 716a and it will not slide in the front bay, it does not fit and I have no clue what the plastic slide things on the side are for?
 
make sure the plastic rail on the side of the drive cage is pulled all the way to the left (towards the inside of the case) you might have to screw around a bit to fit in the drive. make sure it is going in completely square in all dimensions. i have a toshiba dvdrw that was a little tight and a benq dvdrw lightscribe that slid right in. after you have the front of the drive lined up, push the rail to the right(front), it make take a little strength, it will pop into the screw holes. then push down the little tab near the middle of the rail to lock it in. it comes with a 300 page (well, big) instruction book, maybe theres some tips in there.


fresh from the wavemaster, still with the aluminum coolermaster bezels attached.
