So I was looking for some cases for my build and I stumbled upon Frozen Cpu's Liquid Cooled Cases. I saw a case there the Phantom 820 and the HAF X both with liquid cooling that was installed already by Frozen Cpu. So I have two questions

 

1) Is the Pre-cooled case with the liquid system already installed good? I mean is this option a good one? Asking this because I am a completed Noob at building rigs and a case with a liquid system already built in is an attractive offer

 

2) If this is a good option, which case should I choose?

 

Here are the links

 Thanks for the help! :D

Doing a custom loop doesn't give good performance per dollar but is instead just something to do because it's cool and quiet. If you really want to maximize your experience from having a custom loop, you might as well do it yourself.

 

You could just as well get an AIO cooler or a large air cooler.

Both cases are great options and frozencpu is a great retailer, although the preinstalled waterloop is fine, it'll only be cooling CPU in both of those situations, which is mostly what anyone would need, but if you want to expand it will take some work, and I do believe both of those waterloops in both cases do not come with coolant in them, so you'll have to fill them yourself and check for leaks, doing your own watercooling loop is fun, but yes, the preinstalled water cooling loop will suite you just fine.

Yes I could install one myself but since it's my first time I doubt il be able to do it successful. As for the air cooling I'm planning to overclock and and all in one is possible but not really what im looking for either. Anyone have suggestions about which case is better though?
