Coolermaster Haf-X

 

Samsung Internal Combo Blue ray Drive

 

Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM  

 

Sapphire AMD Radeon 7970 (3072MB) (2 Crossfire) 

 

Phanteks Premium 140mm Fans Red (2)  

 

Silent Cougar Vortex 120mm Fan  

 

Seagate Barracuda 2TB Hardrive  

 

Corsair AX1200 with Custom Braided red leads

 

Asus Maximus Extreme V 

 

Intel 3rd generation Core I7-3770k CPU 

 

Antec Kuhler H20 920  

 

 

Hi people was wondering whether anyone could give me any advice on an E-atx motherboard supporting case, it needs to have good water cooling capabilities, because soon I shall add my own custom loop, and the main reason Im replacing my Haf-x is because I really want a case with a big side windows so I can see all of my tech.

 

Was also wonderding can you buy modded side panels?

 

Many Thanks Jack

 

P.S. PLEASE CAN WINDSPEED36 NOT LOCK THIS TOPIC AS CASES ARE NOT THE SAME AS WATER BLOCKS IF HE DOESN'T ALREADY KNOW!

What's your price range?  The Corsair 900D is the best for custom water cooling.

Thanks for your replies at the moment I'm focusing on the nzxt switch, what are the disadvantages of it over the 900d?

oh don't worry about the price thanks

If price isn't an issue then the Corsair 900D is near enough the best you can buy for custom water cooling and it looks amazing.  The NZXT Switch is tiny compared to it and isn't as well optimised for custom loop water cooling as the 900D.  http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-cases/obsidian-series-pc-case/obsidian-series-900d-super-tower-case.html

the sentry controllers aren t that good, i got the lx version(pci) and the date and hour keeps on changing, auto fan mode can t be adjusted and you need probes, and manual fan speed doesn t hold.

(you set a fan to 40% speed, the day after it ll be at 0 or 50% depending on how it feels...
