If you're planing on building a custom water-cooling loop, then 900D is for you. If you're not planning on build a custom loop, airflow of the 900D is SHIT. Just something to keep in mind. I own a 900D, I can judge.

At that price level I'd probably go for some Caselabs thing, especially if you are going for a custom liquid cooling loop.

Case Labs are better for "Extremely Highend" builds.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

well it depends, are you water cooling

 

you can make a high end rig in a mitx case these days

 

for water cooling it is great, but if you are not or just using a  aio, or a basic loop then something like a a 760t or a enthoo pro is also great

900D to be honest has pretty terrible build quality and feels cheap for what you are paying.

linus thinks the build quality is fine and if you think it feels cheap then thats because corsair did some weight reduction on this huge case so that it doesnt weight 80 pounds

thats why some metal panels are thinner and feel "cheap" even though they do a perfectly good job of holing all your components

 

not everyone can afford a $600 caselabs case...

It's not the be-all-end-all case, no - it depends on the needs of the user. 

 

If you can fill up a 900D, then that's an impressive feat.

"Good" for what?

Good for massive custom water-cooling system? Yes of course (provided that you know what you're doing).

Good for a average air cooling build or midrange water-cooling system? Ehhhh, you can save a lot of money with other cases and still get good performance/aesthetics.

I assume you mean case suitable for liquid cooling.

 

It depends on the size rads you want to use and how many per size. So....

 

How many rads and what sizes?

Honestly you should do some research before hand. You don't look like you are advanced enough to venture into the world of custom liquid cooling.

Yeah, I meant the case with the best design to support a liquid cooling system.

defo a full tower so you've room for everything. Phanteks, Corsair, Thermaltake. 

 

Maybe Cooler Master.

I hope that you realize the financial scope of what you want to undertake, watercooling ain't cheap and you're going to be raping your wallet buying just the waterblocks for three GPU's.

I'm using atx, 2-3 way sli, and a few ssds. What's the best liquid cooled case for the money?

 

is there a way that you can keep one thread available for your case choice?

having 6 threads dealing with the same subject best case.

 

if you haven't found out yet, list your build requirements (hardware), budget

and location then the community can help. these half-started threads with no

direction will make the community not participate, due to the numerous

threads already started and answered.

 

so what hardware are you using? how much are you budgeting for a case?

where are you located?

Corsair 760T looks pretty good for the money.
I believe you can get a 240mm rad (or even a 280mm but not sure) in the front and a 360mm rad in the top
but you would lose some off the ODD bays if you use a 360mm rad up top.
it also has good cable management and you can still mount your ssd's and hdd's too.

Also the nzxt 810 switch is a monster off a case with lots off room for water cooling. but may need a bit off modding.
it costs about the same as the corsair 760t too.
