Is it possible to do water cooling with this case?
http://www.xoxide.com/lianlipcv1000b.html

What cases should I be looking that have intergated water cooling options? 200-250$
Currently have an Antec 1200, but I don't think it has space for all the parts, and I rather have all my water cooling stuff inside.
 
the 1200 should be fine,you can put a swiftek 3x120 rad in the front, a d4 pump, and a water block all internally.
Thats the setup i would get, plus you dont need to buy any fans,so it will be really cheap.
for blocks look at the swiftek gtz, ocz hydroflow (budget choice) or maybe the enzotek luna if you like how it looks
 
btw integrated wcing is generally of terrible quality, and is not worth it by any means

I don't mean like cases that already bring watercooling stuff in it, but have a water cooling design to place the rad, pump, etc.
 
Lian Li's are good, but all require modding for internal setup as far as I know. There are several cases from Cooler Master that are tailored for water cooling without modding: Cosmos (S), HAF 932, ATCS 840. TJ07-TJ10 series from Silverstone also work.

Ah, so which Lian Li's are usable for wcing? Don't mind if I have to do some modding.
 
I just bought the Antec 1200 and I'm going to put 2 120x2 radiator's in it.. One mounted in the back and one mounted in the front.. That way I can still have my hard drive mounts.. There is plenty of room for that.. With that set up you will have room for one CD/DVD drive and 3 hard drives that way..Also and all the fans are intergrated and have speed control..
 
Just want to say, the cool master HAF 932 is an amazing case with tons of room. You can mount a tripple rad up top or a double rad on the bottom all internally without modding (the PSU can be mounted on top or bottom depending on your choice).

its also cheap, coming in at around $150 give or take $20.

But the antec 1200 you have, like already stated it can take a triple rad up front.
 
check out some of the galleries, it's been done before. The 1200 gives you some more room, but Dark Prodigy (iirc) made a beautiful WC'd dual opty rig. Someone might have a link perhaps.
 
I want to get rid of the Antec 1200 :p Its pretty dam ugly, and I really don't so many fans if I'm going to WC. Right?

thats a matter of opinion, I happen to like it and so do many others. Its one of those cases that you either love or hate lol.
 
The Coolermaster CM Stacker 810 can also easily accommodate water cooling unmoded. I personally have one of these with a PA120.2 Radiator that i just screwed into the 5.25 mounting rails. I have also seen this case modded to fit 3 Dual 120mm Radiators. The down side to this case is that it is absolutely massive. But you have tones of room for water cooling setups.
 
Silverstone TJ07 is one of the most popular choices. Has room for a quad radiator in the bottom, and a dual on top with no or minimal modding needed. Or a triple and dual in the bottom and a dual on top - again with no or minimal modding.

I personally have a triple and dual rad in the bottom of the case with no modding. Just a bit of acousti foam for the radiators to rest on and tygon to hold them in place.

The downside is that lots of people have one already so you might almost feel like you're just following the crowd as it almost seems to be a bit too popular with the watercooling crowd (although there are good reasons why this is).
