Posted December 11, 2014 Im looking for a full aluminum case similar in style of the Corsair Obsidian 450D or the Lian Li PC 9F, I love the look of the Lian Li but the radiator support is terrible, I plan on doing a custom loop for my 4770k and 2 R9 280X's so I'm looking for a case that has that minimalistic style of these 2 cases but fully aluminium and supports at least a 240mm rad and a 360 rad, thanks.

I also looked on caselabs but the cases are huge, whereas the smaller ones are more cube shaped or I dont really like the look of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't caselabs customize everything ? maybe they would a case for your need but I think you will have to bay a premium. ﷲ Muslim Member ﷲ KennyS and ScreaM are my role models in CSGO.

Posted December 11, 2014 Do what we did in the old days, mod the hell out of it. Both the PC9F and 450D are great starting points and with a little bit of dremel'ing and a little bit of manufacturing you'll be left with a fantastic system that no one else in the world has. (Steer clear of the biohazard fan grills and similar though, they belong in the past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 11, 2014 FT05 looks pretty coolIt is.Looked at this a while ago, sadly you cant really water cool with it.Sure you can. Dual 180 rad in the bottom= 360mm rad that is 180mm wide ≈ 420mm rad≈ enough for your rig with the dual 180 and a 120≈ 520mmI have it and love it, air cooled tho n0ah1897, on 05 Mar 2014 - 2:08 PM, said: "Computers are like girls.

Posted December 11, 2014 FT05 looks pretty cool Looked at this a while ago, sadly you cant really water cool with it. Ecoboost is right, the FT05 looks great, and Spwath has it. Watercooling it isn't that tricky, you can have a 360*180mm radiator or a 360*120mm radiator in the bottom and a 120mm radiator in the top. Only thing is you'd have to sacrifice your 3.5" drives to watercool it, but you can mod a mounting for them no trouble I reckon. A bit of bungee and you could suspend them off the PSU.

I was about to ask about the hdd's as I have 2 of them to put somewhere plus an ssd as well haha, is there anything like a mounting system that could attach to a rad? Ive seen something similar for a pump that can be mounted to a rad before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 11, 2014 I was about to ask about the hdd's as I have 2 of them to put somewhere plus an ssd as well haha, is there anything like a mounting system that could attach to a rad? Ive seen something similar for a pump that can be mounted to a rad before the SSD can be stored behind the motherboard tray, but to mount the hard drives you'll probably need to use some anti vibration pads on the hard drives and effectively place them on top of the radiator, or if you don't mind putting a screw or two into the case you could get some HDD rails and install those higher up in the case.
