Hello, I,m planning to build a proper water cooled pc over the next few months and i was wondering what most people would offer as a case. i know things like the phanteks enthoo evolv and the fractal design define s ,but was wondering  if there were any other cases that anyone suggests. No budget so go wild if you want just no case labs please. This computer does have to be able to be moved with some degree of ease. 

    Must fit this hardware!

Asus x99 strix gaming 

2 mechanical hard drives

1 intel ssd

Corsair rm 750

gtx 1070.

honestly... What is your reason for going custom watercooling?

 

Is it sheer total bling and to hell with practicality? Enthoo Evolv ATX TG

Is it extreme functionality support with a mix bag of looks? MasterCase Maker 5 or BeQuiet Dark Base 900 Pro

Is it just the best silent build money can buy? Fractal Design Define S

 

For me the third option was my calling card, and for water-cooling mid-towers the Define S is simply unparalleled. 

 

I don't particularly recommend anything larger than the Mastercase Pro/Maker 5 though since hardware dwarfism looks like shit.

 

Anyways, enjoy your build (and if you do get the Define S, consider doing the quick and simple glass panel mod, example in my signature)!
