Hey guys,

I'm looking for a good black case for water cooling, it needs to support two 360 rads and it can only be 650mm high. I don't need any 5.25" bays. And I only need room for 1 SSD and 1 HDD, but other than that nothing is needed.

 

Bugdet: 250$

 

EDIT: Don't like brushed aluminum (Like the look of it, but not the actual thing)

EDIT EDIT: I have come to the conclusion that I will only need one 360 rad and a 240 or 280 rad

My setup: i5 3570K  - Corsair H100i - MSI Z77 GD65 - 256 GB Samsung 840 pro SSD - Corsair AX760i - Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 2GB - 4x4 GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RAM - Corsair Carbide 500R (modded side window)

Well, this have the things I need and in the right size. Although I'm not a fan of brushed aluminum, should have mentioned that in the top comment

What's your budget?

Well... I would say that the max amount of money I have for a case is 250$

If you don't like brushed aluminum then get the NZXT switch 810

Doesn't fit dual-360 rad, right? 

The OP could also go with a 360 and a really really thick 280 in some smaller cases (Primoo is the only one that supports dual-360 rads in that pricepoint to my knowledge, 900D is much taller, more expensive).

144Hz goodness

NZXT H440 fits 2 360mm rads afaik. 

Thanks for your replies guys, but after some thinking, I have come to the conclusion that I will only need one 360 rad and a 240 or 280 rad, if anyone have some suggestions to a case for a loop like that, I would very much appreciate it :)

The same criteria as before, just the rad support is changed.

Don't really like it's look, would rather have something that's completely black
