 I want to do custom water cooling 

 

Posted

I know this is a common discussion, but I really can't decide. I own a i7 4790k and a 970 I have 1 SSD and one HDD and for the CPU cooling, I have a Dark Rock Pro 3. However I want to do custom water cooling in the feature and I really love silence. The HDD and SSD are also planned to get new family members. I just can't decide :(

Straight up for any sort of cooling (water or air) the define S is superior.

 

Superior to basically every other mid-tower on the market actually (once you buy additional fans).

 

It's only marginally damaging trade off is its relatively poor drive support.
