Looking for options on what people may know about that I have not considered.

 

I am looking for a new case for my current system to move to and thinking of possible GPU upgrades in the future. I am generating a lot of heat that I need to get rid of. So, I need case that can support:

 

1 - mATX or ATX motherboard - not picky, currently have mATX board
2 - 2 x 360mm radiators. One will be a Alphacool UT60 one, so needs a lot of clearance. Even 3+ 360 rad support would be great.
3 - at least one additional 240mm rad as well

 

I am looking to have a minimum of a UT360 in push/pull, a second XSPC 360 (and possibly a third) and at least one XSPC 240 all running on the system. My current 360/280/240/140 cannot keep up, bloody Folding.  :)

 

Thinking along the lines of the HAF Stacker, the Thermaltake Core x2 or x9, various Caselabs, Lian Li cube, etc.

 

Anyone have any other ideas?

I see you are doing more folding! Maybe build a smaller build and use an external radiator cluster, kinda like the whole room WC project

The whole external thing was never effective, either in cooling or in costs. :)

 

Sure, I could go with an external 9x120 unit or some such, but then you have a moster rad sitting outside the case, you need to do something with. But, does give though, external rad in another part of the house maybe? Hmmm... Have to think on that...

Did you consider the Obsidan 900D?

 

Nice catch, had originally looked at this when it first came out, but hadn't thought if it. Wonder if anyone around here has a used one...
