It's fine, but I'd get the Corsiar 300R.

It's not a brilliant case. And just by looking, I can tell you it's not very well suited for watercooling. 

 

EDIT: @dadasmithywinkle 300R is almost twice the cost. 200R is more in the same price range. Still a better case than the Thermaltake one.

The 300R is like $20 extra here in the US. However, the 200R would be better, price wise.

Ah, it's a difference between £30 and £60-£70 over here.

i'm hesitating abiut the corsair carbide 200r becoz of its power button. its very small. i fear it may cause problems for me in the future.

A really good and cheap case for anyone new to use that is $60 is the Sentey Optimous GS-6000.

What sort of problems do you think you'll have?

@Tcbp  its too small...

How does the button being small cause problems LATER? Also if your a bit savvy with electronics then you can resolder a larger switch like this one http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php/topic/389-diy-guide-install-fighter-pilot-toggle-switch/or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjjMO3az84 

 

Also if there's plenty of cases to choose from you don't have to get that one.

I basically put the Corsair 300r on every build list. Great case, great price!
