Hey, I'm trying to find a cheap case which I can watercool, at first I was looking into the corsair 500r, but it doesn't seem to add much to the 300r which is £40 cheaper, but I've heard some people say you can add a Rad into the top and others say you can't. Does anyone know if you can? And even if you can since you guys just know everything, what case would you recommend sub £100. Thanks

At the top you got ~30mm and then another ~30 with the top 'filter' on. But if you go without the filter you can put the fans inside and at the top a big fat rad like this guy: http://www.overclock.net/t/1119694/official-corsair-carbide-series-200r-300r-400r-500r-owners-club/3420#post_19805589

 

At the front I dont think you can fit a 240 rad without mod.

Thanks, personally I'd prefer to have just one rad though, thoughts on the r4/500r?

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UDH5

Ivybridge i5-3570K - 4.2 OC

H60 prebuild watercooler

GTX 650 Ti

4GB ram, only have 32bit windows 8

OCZ vertex 4- 120GB

 

Samsung 1TB HD

Seasonic G series 650W 80plus gold PSU

 

Hoping to get next gen GPU, since they haven't got any specs yet, either AMD or Nvidia.

 

So the plan was to get the case, and move my current rig into it, then when the new cards come out/ when I have the time to watercool my gpu and cpu, to get the new card and the watercooling gear. Thanks for the help

Ok I don't no if I'm posting this on the right thread but my specs are

I7 3770k

Asus maximus v gene mobo

Corsair 750 watt

16gb g skill ddr3 ram

And I was wondering if I get a coolermaster cm storm enforcer if I could mount a corsair h100 in the top of the case with no issues?? I'm not 100% sure

-sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong thread again, but yeah I'm a noob.-

Thanks.
