Get an Phantom 530 instead of the old Phantom. It has slightly different styling but still has the core Phantom design along with much updated features. That case definitely supports an x60/x61. 

NEW BUILD LOG!!!: Project Comilinx http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/313532-in-progress-project-comilinx-side-panel-modpainting-update-1932015/

Other build: Project Impracticality http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/131898-wip-project-impracticality-new-name-partsdesign-update/

Oh. Well then. I'd say that it should support the x61/x60.

It has awkward top water cooling mounting though. I'd rather go for a Noctua air cooler or something. I have one sitting beside me as well and it's running an 1090t OC'd cool and quiet on an NH-D14

doesnt change the fact that watercooling is better for higher overclocks at lower temps and thats what i need. especially since i live in a hot and humid environment

The NH-D15 is competitive with AIO water coolers.

Yep, there are so many air coolers out there that are cheaper, more reliable, and sometimes better than their AIO counterparts. AIOs are hard to justify in most cases.

well i dont want a air cooler, i understand after OC and all it runs around 60C degrees and its a great cooler, but the corsair h100i and the kraken have leds in it and i have a blue led on the side panel and my brother nicknamed my computer the blue beast, and the cpu being the 'heart' of the 'blue beast' i want red leds over the cpu while having great overclocking abilitys. that being said i dont want a air cooler, i live in a hot environment as said and air just isnt logical for my situation. not saying anything about air coolers i understand theyre great and i understand putting water in any system has risks.. just what i want :)

Well as I said the top 240mm rad mounts separate from the chassis and it looks odd and a bit ugly IMO. I used to have a Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme in it, so I know in person. If it was me and I had to go with water cooling I'd go with a thick 120mm in the back with p/p

"Rawr XD"

its hard to see inside the case to much and my friends dont even know what goes on inside a computer case, they still think alienware are awesome computers for the money. I just want raw performance
