Corsair or NZXT ?

[Mukessh]

Hey guys , which would be a better case for custom watercooling ? 

 

Corsair 500R or NZXT Phantom 410 ?

500r

[ericlee30]

I personally would go with the Corsair 500R

[Ps_domingo]

Though I'm a corsair fanboy. I'd go with the NZXT phantom. Better for aircooling. :) 

[RaVenBelgium]

I think the Phantom would give you more mod options, if you're into that

I'm looking to do custom watercooling .

Yeah, get the Phantom, it will look awesome  ;)

[Hyp0xia]

The NZXT Phantom looks like a child's plaything. It's just a lump of ugly plastic. Get the 500r from Corsair.

[FireFox]

If it was my money I'd probably go with the Corsair 500R

Well it's not that clean as the 500R, but it has some texture which makes it pretty cool  ;)

NZXT 

[Hyydrah]

The Phantom, but personally I don't like either case too much. You might like the 350D.

I have the NZXT 410 and it is a bit small, but a custom loop isn't impossible. It is a well build case so it is worth getting.

[Flamewalker]

With the phantom 410 you can't reallly do push pull rad on the top, so either push or pull (think you have like only 49 mm space on the top (a thermaltake water extreme 2.0 just fits under it)), but you can mod the front so you can get a rad at the front with push pull

I would look at the Corsair 350D, or NZXT 810 or 630

[legodude]

The Phantom, but personally I don't like either case too much. You might like the 350D.

 

You're really trying to sell the 350D!  :lol:

[Hyydrah]

You're really trying to sell the 350D!  :lol:

But it's superior to the two! But in all honesty I actually prefer the 900D or R4,

[Mdgtman91]

the 350D really is pretty beast

500r will get the job done

[raxx]

Isn't the 350D an M-ATX case?

[AustinTheIntern]

Switch 810...

650D/350D

[AustinTheIntern]

Isn't the 350D an M-ATX case?

Yes, a beast one that looks sexy and has a ton of space.

[XiaoPigs]

500R hands down. It's good enough for watercooling and I hate plastic cases :p Still a big fan of the switch 810 though

[Art Vandelay]

I think the Phantom would give you more mod options, if you're into that

The original phantom is terrible, though. A phantom 630 would be alright.

 

I'd suggest a fractal design XL R2; it's pretty cheap and can hold a fair bit of WC equipment.

I'm not going to lie I really want the 900D and I love the 350D too! :)

Yeah, I'm considering getting the 900D.
