I am new to watercooling, and I want to get it as right as possible the first time.

First thing is the case. I saw the MM Ascension, which is awesome, but pushing the boundries of gigantic for me. What would I be giving up by getting the H2gO?

A little info, I am probably looking at CPU and GPU cooling, I'll probably never have more than dual crossfire on the graphics side. I don't need massive overclocking, I just want a cool, relatively quiet system. I want a case that I can maneuver in comfortably, but I won't have more than 2-4 hard drives. Appearance is far less important than function.
 
The MM U2UFO is a bit smaller than the Ascension, and is REAL easy to kit-out for water cooling and otherwise customize. I'd have to be hard pressed to go back to a standard dimension case. ;) What do you loose with the g0? Size and a bit of flexibility from the way it looks.
 
I guess I'm asking, based on what I want to do, it sounds like the smaller case is more than enough for me but I just want to make sure.
 
Then the dimensions should have been all you needed to know. The perspective I offered was meant to give you some "flavor", because I own a MM case that's water cooled, nothing more.
 
What you'd be giving up with an MM H2G0 is Radiator size. The largest radiators I can put in my H2G0 are 2x120's where as many folks are more inclined to move to an Ascension case because the size and number of radiators that can be kept internal to the case. I love the small(er) form factor and the horizontal orientation of the motherboard tray on the H2G0, and the fact that it doesn't take up a lot of desktop space, but if I really wanted to run dual loops, I'd probably go larger with a custom MM case design.
