Case Recommendations

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I might need a new case because I might sell my Merlin. I don't like it. I have a budget of ~200 (preferable not that) and would like it to support:

 

1-2 360 rads, if not then one thick 360 and thick 240.

a reservoir and pump

Have enough room for a HDD somewhere (behind the motherboard tray is fine)

Be kind of small, but big is ok

 

I'm thinking either the H440 or the Arc Midi R2. I could get the 360/240 in either and in the R2 maybe even 2x360s if I remove the 5.25" bays.

 

Any more suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Would it support a 360 in the front with no 5.25" bays?

I couldn't tell you, sorry. You can remove all drive cages and the 5.25", so I think so... But I'm not exactly a non-AIO water cooling guy :\

240 in front, 360 on top, 240 on bottom, 120 on back. You can get a 5.25 to 3.5 adapter to install your HDD like this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9358/hdc-69/35_HDD_to_525_Drive_Bay_Universal_Adapter_Bracket-35525.html?tl=g34c273s852&id=CPrCUIoq .

I might return it because the thing just doesn't work right. I can't get anything to fit and it looks horrible when I do.

He said it was 'too big.'

He said it 'didn't fit anywhere.'

He said it was 'fully aluminum.'

He said it 'looked empty.'

He said it had 'terrible paint.'

The M8.

[ericlee30]

Go with the H440 bro, you will not regret it. but I personally would get the Enthoo primo pro if you do not want a big case.
