I am currently using the Thermaltake Mozart Tx case with a full normal ATX motherboard in one part, and a miniATX in another case attached to the 7 inch bay they boast about. I enjoyed the case for a while, but it needs replacement. I am looking at either splitting the case up, and having the comps in separate cases now. I am only looking for a case for my main motherboard, but I want room in the case so that if I want to add watercooling in the future I have the space to not have it be cramped, and can make it look clean and professional. There are two cases I am currently looking at. The Silverstone TJ09, and the mountainmods U2-UFO CYO (as want a variation of a few of the UFO ones). I was wondering what your guy's opinions of the two cases are, and if u have another case that looks great and runs great both with air cooling, and later space for water cooling.

Thanks, Nathan
 
I would like to add that I will be making the purchase this monday, so any information before then would be helpful.
 
I can highly suggest the mountain mods U2-UFO cyo. I picked one up about a month ago. I found it completely amazing. The way it is capable of rotating panels is just incredible. I got an Opti-1203 front with a triple standard back and a horizontal brace. Half windows on the sides with a diamond top. Space and ease of setup for water cooling is the bomb as well. I've got one thermochill pa 120.3 cooling the video card and one cooling the gpu. The radiators just bolt on directly to the case or fans/case. No drilling needed. I got a dual loop configuration w low speed yate loons spinning at about 800 RPM. The only thing I can hear is the SATA drive and a slight noise from the water pumps. Q6600 cores operate at 23c idle 28c load and the GPU runs 40c-48c. Cores overclock to 3.6 ghz stable at default voltage. It's a BIG case with lots of space and so many features you can't go wrong.
 
Thanks for the information, Im assuming you put the rads in the front 6? where did your hard drives go then? Does the diamond top support 120mm fans, or 80mm? as in the pics they look smaller. and do u use fan controllers in a setup like that? it seems a bit pricey with having to buy fans separate.
