I am going to buy a new case for watercooling. I'm not into modding my case because for me I just don't have the time. What case would you suggest watercooling fits in the best?
 
Akasa Eclipse 62 or Globalwin YCC-61F1 (same thing, different name)

Perfect size for watercooling.. and looks good too.
 
This truly is an "eye of the beholder" subject. To me, any case with a computer in it is worthy of water cooling and should thus be done. Now if you're talking about ease of install or just plain good looks I'd have to say: the CM stacker, any of the YY Cube, any of the mountain mods cubes, any lian li fulltower set-up (in ATX or BTX), any silverstone fulltower (same as lian li), and lastly the CM wavemaster....just because the name fits with a water cooling theme.
 
Coolermaster Stacker all the way. You can fit a dual 120mm heatercore in there with no effort at all, dont even need to go near touching any sort of power tools. (you *might* need a screwdriver, thats it).

The only other cases that can provide this ease of installation are the cube cases with 120mm fan mounts. Everything else you would either have to get dual 80mm radiator or two separate 120mm radiators. That both costs more, and adds more restriction and hassle to putting together the watercooling loop.

If you want a reasonably priced, decent looking, readily available case that will allow you to put together a good watercooling setup without ANY modifications then the only place you want your computer to be is in the Coolermaster Stacker.
 
For ease of installing radiators without any mounting, I'll give you my extremely biased opinion............ :D Mountain Mods UFO.............. :cool: It's got the option of using several different dual fan radiators or heater cores without any mods. Tons of room for just about anything you could ever want to install in a case. This all comes at a very high price though................ :eek: You also have the option for having the case built to your specs if you have the cash, they will do anything you want or need. Fit and finish are the toughest on the market (powder coat),

What about the Gigabyte 3D Aurora? All-aluminum... 3 120mm fans... Rear grommets for tubing... Side mesh/window thingy... It's brand new and it looks great!

Oh yeah... Doesn't come out for a couple weeks. *sigh*
