Thinking of building a lan case with Sli 780ti or equivalent however not sure which case would suit me. I want it to be compact as possible with adequate cooling for a full mobo block, with gpu waterblocks. Suggestions please?

I don't think you'll have enough radiator space to water cool.

The Corsair Carbide Air 240 is coming out soon and it 's pretty awesome for water cooling.

Ft03 could be possible, but hard

I know the case. I actually really like the FT03 but I never taught watercooling would be practical in it. Except for a CPU AIO maibe.

i'd suggest the arc mini R2. the 350D would be fine if no overclocking was done. the

thin 240 in the roof is the killer for SLI/CFX. the arc mini R2 can handle the SLI/CFX

with a 360x 60 mount in the roof and 240x whatever in the front. easily capable for

low fan speed operation.

secondly, the arc mini R2 is smaller overall than the 350 with a more rigid chassis

build and support with the side panels.

i wanted to build a wc loop in a ft03 however i didnt think there was enough cooling potential.  That ac mini r2 i havent looked at but from pictures, it seems around the right size

using clear tubes with colored fluid would cause tube to be stained? is that correct?
