I Need A Good Case

I'm looking for a case that looks great inside and out. I am putting a full water cooling system inside it. The side window needs to be on the left side (facing the front).

I would like for it to have side mounted rad support like the TJ11 and the 900D. I was looking at the NZXT Phantom 820. Please post your ideas and let me know what you think!

Not a great case for water cooling. 

 

I have an NZXT Switch 810 and love it.

2 240MM Radiator mounts and a 120MM Radiator mount. Doesn't sound too shabby.

But it has an awful window because of fan mounts so unless the op wants to do modding it wont be very good

It's way too small to really be practical for it. It's airflow isn't great either. I saw it as the worst of both worlds. NZXT Switch 810 without the pedestal 360mm in the top, 240mm in the bottom, 120mm in the front and in the rear. equivalent to a 360 rad with a 480mm rad.

Hey so since you have a Switch 810 do you know if its possible to un-screw the second optical drive bay and replace it with the lowest hard drive sled? So that all you have is 1 optical drive slot and 3 3.5" bays?

Not without modding, no. the 5.25 bays would have to be cut out. It should be doable though. I use the hot swap bay for my HDD.

You could just get 5.25 inch to 3.5inch adapters
