Ok so I have a Thermaltake Chaser Series Chaser MK-I (VN300M1W2N) Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case and I'm wanting to do liquid cooling but I'm not sure where i can put one or two radiators. Do I need a different case?

According to newegg it is liquid cool ready, whatever that means. I'm assuming there is radiator support either on the top or the front of the case. But it doesn't say what size can fit in it so you'd have to find a spot and measure.

 

Edit- It says the top can support 2 140mm or 2 120mm fans, so I'm assuming a 280mm or a 240mm radiator would fit there and on the front supports two 120mm fans so a 240mm radiator would fit there.

Checked their website for you. Basically the fan setup tells you what kind of rads can go in there. 240 or 280 in top and a 240 in the front would be a good way to go. Pretty crappy for a 'liquid cooling ready' case.

Would it be worth it to get a different case like a Phanteks Phanteks Enthoo Series or what are some other cases that would be good?

The Phanteks Enthoo series cases are great cases, wether it is worth it is completely up to you. Do you like the cases? If so, it probably is.

From ThermalTake.

Doesn't look like the front can fit a radiator, unless the 3.5" bays are removable.

Depends on how crazy you want to get with the rads. The Enthoo series is great and has awesome rad support, but I personally don't like the outside. I'm currently looking at getting a 750D but the front airflow sucks so you would have to mod it and make a mesh cover, use spacers to offset the cover or make holes in the front panel if you want good airflow. Corsair 450D for a mid tower WC build or the 540 Air?
