Change of Case

Hey guys,

 

Well I did my first build about 2 years ago. I got this huge case (Cosmos 2) I love the case. However, I being getting to many expenses with college, so I'm unable to use for water cooling this beast of a case. So I started to think, I should change my case for a smaller one like a Corsair 540, or a Define R4, or anything close to that, for a smaller place.

 

So my question is, should I keep the Cosmos 2 and try to keep saving money to do some upgrades and finally Custom WC, or should I try to sell and get a smaller case?

 

Thank you.

Are you moving into residence? If so, you should definitely get a smaller more compact case :)

It really depends on you. I'd say go for the water cooling because water cooling, buy if you're short in patience, money or space, maybe you should go with a smaller case. Once again though, it's up to you.

Is it a monkey? Is it an ape? I don't care, I LOVE'EM!

I'm not sure when I will be moving, I know the Cosmos 2 is a pain to move around without WC already. Also I dont think I will move to small place, I have a table that is near 8 feet (around 2.5meters) So if fits the table the Cosmos 2 will fit just fine.

I'm not short in patience, is just sad sometimes to see that the inside being so empty :/

Gee I know that feeling, mATX in mid tower here. However it will look more full with water cooling.

Yeah I have a eATX on the Cosmos, so doesnt look so empty, but still very fucking empty. I wish the 540 was out when I got the Cosmos 2, so I would get a nice case cheaper, and still able to WC, but it wasnt out when I got it :// so a lot cash went into the case.
