FT02 for watercooling?

It would be difficult, but doable. You would also have trouble mounting external rads. I think the rotated-mobo designs of some silverstone cases are meant for their superior upwards air cooling path, not for any sort of WC.
 
Very nice case, just not for WCing easily. Classic looks vs utility dilemma. Just depends on how much work and money you want to throw at it. Anything can be done if the budget is big enough.
 
I also have the ft02 and same problems. I like the recommendation for the stealth gts 360 and I am currently looking at it. the depth of just under 30mm is perfect.

Can the stock 180mm fans push air through that? Or perhap I should also consider getting the new AP fans?
 
I have ben looking at this case hard for my son.

I HAD intended to watercool, but I think it would be difficult with a long GPU.

The case comes with internal radiator mounts, I can't remember if you take the middle and right fan out or just remove the fan guards, but Silverstone says a 30mm thick radiator will fit......probably a dual fan rad. You could easily mount the pump and reservoir in the front bays.

Secondly, if you use an external setup, there is no where to run the tubing into the case, since the PSU is mounted on the back like it is.....and no where to put a RadBox.... I had figured I'd have to run the tubing in through that back handle opening, underneath the top and then cut a portion of the vent out that sits just below and to the left of the I/O panel. It could be done, but it would take some work with a dremmel.

The best bet would probably be a Koolance Exos unit.

You can watercool with this case, but it would take some planning.
