Quest For A Case (360 Radiator)

[RobertVanGilder]

I've been trying to find an old or cheap case that will be able to fit a 360mm radiator native. I've found some old cosmos S for 120 bucks but I'm looking for something that will cost under 100 bucks. I've looked at the define arc midi, but I have a 5.25 reservoir so it would only fit a 240..

 

HELP!

The NZXT phantom will work for about 100

Hi Robert,

 

I think your only solution is ebay. You go and search and search. Unfortunately, I don't think that you have any chance to find something under 100 bucks. The 3x120 position is so unusual that all these cases are aiming at reflecting the loop price - they are a bit pricey. I would go with that cosmos S or just try to mount it somewhere else - with some additional spacing you can fit it on the to and mount it on the 2 x 120 position or I've seen those mount on the 120 mm position in the back.

I think that you are only able to mount it on the top with some extra modding. They say it only supports 2 x 200mm

use a pump top like XSPC has for D5 and DDC:

 

D5

 

DDC

 

removes the need for 5.25" ODD bays..

Well I guess I could go up to 200 bucks. And the thing is that I don't have time for modding. Chck out my build log. Its called Goni custom water cooled build. The dremelling took me forever...

I've been thinking about the bitfenix shinobi xl or some kind of an old lian life case..

You can get the NZXT Switch 810, which is an excellent case, which supports a 360mm radiatior and a 240mm radiator etc.. It is a very nice looking case too.

@T345 I know that NZXT cases are cheap, but they're plastic, and they have that "gaming" design that I don't like...Does anyone know if the Corsair Vengeance C70 can fit a 360 anywhere?

[Morfy]

It can, with some modding, which i get you are not interested in, sooo... Not.

Saying that the NZXT Switch 810 looks like 'gaming' design, and saying the C70 doesn't is quite mad :D 

To be honest, if you don't want something with a gaming design, you could get the Coolermaster 692, which supports 2x 240mm radiators, both quite thick, and that might be something you would be looking for. The C70 can't by default fit a 360mm radiator, if you mod a Corsair Carbide 200r you could fit a thick radiator in the front push pull (360mm) 

[RobertVanGilder]

That's crazy. A Corsair 200r with a triple rad!.Anyways, I'm probably going to save up for a couple of months and get a decent case with a basement. Something like a silver TJ07...

the C70 can take a 360 rad, but it'll be XT45 or EX/ST30, depending on mobo and fans used.

the ODD dive bays have been left intact, but again, depending on mobo and hardware.

With a little bit of modding, you could probably fit a 360 rad in my case, the thermaltake chaser. around $100, and has a very open-air design.
