Would going from Mid-tower to FULL Tower help with installing 360mm AIO?

Currently, I use a Mid-tower case and I tried installing a 240 mm AIO, and it was too crammed space so I RMA'd it.

 

If I bought a FULL TOWER case, would it make installing a full 360 mm AIO easier?

2nd question, Would a Full Tower make everything a lot easier to install and move around 'in general'?

 

Or am I on the wrong track here completely?

 

Many Thanks!.😄

Well it depends on the case design. For both installing AIO & general maneuvering space
I have seen an obscure brand full tower with bad design.

Link your case here.

It's not necessarily mid- or full-tower cases you should look for, but to specifically check radiator compatibility. Some mid-tower cases can fit 360 rads, some full tower cases can barely fit a 240. You need to check compatibility.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There was always some odd shaped something in the way and I could never get the radiator to mount flush on the top, and after 4 or 5 hours I gave up.

Id also look at air coolers, typically simmilar temps as a 240mm air, while being cheaper, quieter and more reliable.

I bought the Vetroo V5 and once all is back together can report on temps.
