Bitfenix Prodigy (Also Phenom) has been a default for a long time.

 

EVGA Hadron Hydro also might be something that you are interested in.

I have been looking for an mITX case, and I've been wondering what the best one is? I've been looking at Corsair's 250d, which is the only that I've seen that can house an h100i.

I'd love to get your thoughts about this case? Are there any better ITX cases available?(that can house a 240mm radiator)

has a 500w psu so he might be limited with the evga hydro and the hydro is made for custom loops not pre filled so that may be another issue

500w will easily handle whatever you put into the case.

Depends on what you mean by best. Personally, I think the best ITX case is the Caselabs S3, but that might not be the case for you since the case is quite large, even for an ITX case. It is also expensive.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

People are not digging the corsair 250d from what I've heard, Lian Li makes some really good cases that are very high quality. Also, if your on the cheap the Cooler Master Elite 110 is really good for the money.

Narp. You'd still have ~100w headroom. ~50w above recommended.

But let's be real, sticking a heater like that in a small case like that isn't the wisest decision.

i like the fractal design node 304

I've been checking out the prodigy and it seems like my best bet.
