Mid tower case, Your opinion needed

Go to solution Solved by Homicidium,

Preferably it would be good to have it inside the case but I wouldnt build it myself I`d likely get a pre built by Cooler Master

 

The R4 will fit both Seidon and Eisberg AIO inside. Make sure you check out the video Linus did. 

It can get a little tight up there, but the mesh enables you to install it even a little off set to get a little more clearance, but other than that it's the perfect case for your needs. It's silent (Sound dampening) and offers space for 140mm fans and I believe 6 Hard Drives, so you should be good in that respect :)

As I am in grade 8 and my parents are looking for a grading gift I suggested a new case so we agreed and the budget is around $100 but I want something that will last me well, that supports liquid cooling, and is decent looking. I do use quite a few HDD and have  zero SSD's  and I do use optical drives. PCIE slots are not a huge concern for me but would like more than 3 as I have a dual slot GPU and need room for future improvements. In your opinion what case would best suit me?

Newegg currently offers the R4 for 100$

But my question is, what you understand under the term "water cooling", just an AIO - Solution or a full grown water cooling loop?

This one would work with stuff like the H100i as well, but the radiator would sit outside :/

+1 for the R4, that case really is something...

Or what about the 300R? Perhaps even the 350D if you have an mATX board?

*Note - You could get the R4 from NCIX for the same price as newegg, saves the import tax? (<---- Is there any?)

The 300r is a pretty good mid tower case which supports a water cooler. Looks good, got all the functionality of higher end cases but in a smaller form factor. Would definitely recommend.
