600t vs c70 vs 500r

BaconMaster

Hello everyone. I dont know which one to choose, i want a case that has good airflow and enough room to hide all of the TX 850's cables. I was leaning towards the 600t but the reason i dont like it is that it can only use a 200mm fan in te front and also that it is a lil bit big for my desk. PD: right now i have an air cooled system but im planning on watercool it, also i dont have the tools for case modding.

None of those cases are optimal for WC, but I would go for the C70 TheSLSAMG

If you wanna watercool then i recommend the nzxt phantom series, they make it a lot easier with more space, at any rate the c70 and the 500r are out of the picture.

600T might be good.  As well as the 500R. Very spacious for a top 240mm radiator at the top.

If you have a dremel and sand paper you can expand the top of the 600T to fit a 360mm radiator.

Add a front 240mm radiator to the front of the case.

Lol Asking advice to the biggest noob on the forum , the SLSAMG.

I Rather ask advice to my GT-R Alpha 16

 

OT :

 

500R is a nice watercooling case as far as i know. 600T is also nice but a little more difficult to work in.

C70 is just a bad looking and bad performing case IMO.

Interested in Business and Technology

Any case is pretty much watercooling ready out of the box, 500R is spacious you could put a 240mm + a 140/120mm at the back next to the back I/O + a dual bay reservoir and maybe another 240mm

Im not too sure about the 500r but the c70 is bollocks for dual rads, the 600t is ok

It isnt available in my country :(

Corsair C70 would be the best option in terms of watercooling.

Im not so convinced about 200mm rads for watercooling, also 200mm are not so good even

Wanna go for gold and try? C70 is big & capable of watercooling a descent rig with probably 2-3 graphics card + a high power draw processor

I would get a Corsair 750d lots of space for watercooling you can fit up to 4 radiators. 1 120mm, 2 240mm, and 1 360 radiator= INSANE COOLING.

It also is not actually that expensive at the moment

Life.exe is missing

I've seen 2 120mm and 1 360mm on a 600T case... That's more than enough IMO lol...

That's because it's a modded one, i clearly stated at the begining that i dont count with any modding tool

I like the C70 because of it has lots of room for cable management and there are lots of fan mounts which should be enough for watercooling imo.
