Cube case to get

[Hikaru12]

So I stopped by MicroCenter the other day and picked up the HAF XB which is a great case but I was doing some measuring the other day and as much as I'd like to add a bunch of custom WC'ing to it, it's not really going to happen unless I mod the hell out of it. So now I'm on the hunt for a nice cube case that can fit an ATX motherboard and has decent watercooling support. I'm stuck between the Corsair 540 and the Lian Li PC-D600. I really like the Lian Li because it has greater WC support, it's all aluminum and it's a full tower so it can accommodate upgrades. My biggest gripes with it are the non-tooless drive bays and the fact that you can only take out half of them (it's all or nothing with this case).

 

I love the look of the 540 and it has the WC support I need but I don't like the vertical drive bays as that makes fan controllers and other 5.25" devices look awkward.

 

What do you guys recommend? Feel free to throw in your own suggestions as well. Much appreciated.

i like the look of the corsair air 540 way more than the lian li case you posted, so that is what i would recommend to get

The XB can get a lot in it considered taking a dremel to it anyway seeing you already have it?

Looking at a $350 budget.

 

I was thinking of using that HAF XB case as a mobile LAN machine with a AIO. I currently don't have a dremel and it would have been more expensive for me to mod it. It does seem like a shame to just have it sitting in my closet.

 

Also, yes I know Caselabs are the gods of cases but I don't know if I can fork over that kind of money and still have to get fan filters and everything else.

Meh it looks alright. I was looking at something more boxy or double-stacked. Thanks though.

Air 540 gets my vote. I'll soon get one myself.

I'll probably end up getting the 540 to save money but I can afford a Caselabs S8 (just would have to add a bunch of money for accessories).
