Hi there :)

 

I'm looking for a new case that will be used for watercooling...

 

I am looking for a Full Tower case that will have enough space so i can make a nice clean and cool build without having everything to be tight

 

A good example of a case i dont like for watercooling is Phanteks Primo, it has a HUGE panel on the side that covers the 1/3rd of the case and makes it look very narrow

 

 

Budget: 300 euro tops

 

 

Thanks!

What about something like a Corsair 750D, 800D or 900D?

Please quote me in any answers to my posts, so that I can read them easily and don´t forget about them. Thanks!

 

I love spending my time with PC tinkering, networking and server-stuff.

 540 is a bit small, everything will look rly tight inside there

 

and caselabs will cost me over 600e

Yeah, Caselabs is pretty expensive..

 

I can´t think of any other big case, that also has a PSU cover.

 

Maybe a H440? It´s rather small compared to the other cases though.

It doesn´t have a PSU cover, but as soon as the side pannel is closed you can´t really see the PSU.

Other than that the Primo is the only other case I can think of at the moment.

Maybe you can find one used.  I see them popping up on overclock.net from time to time.  I have two of them and they are well worth the initial investment.  The guys over at Caselabs are very down to earth guys and will help you with anything you need.

Fractal R5, too small, watercooling will be very tight in there and again, visible psu which i dont like :(

 

How many and what size rads are you going to install?  I think "too small" is very relative.  I personally consider the Parvum case you linked too small for any of my main systems.

One 360 rad and its not relative as i already said that i need a Full Tower for my needs as i dont want the interior to look extremely tight :) 

 

Also, i need a PSU cover!

This case has no PSU cover and all the interior looks extremely tight fitted in there...so....this case doesnt work for me sadly :/

Well there are a ton of cases to include the Fractal R5 that will hold that easily.  

 

If you go too big with only one rad, one pump and a single res, you'll actually run into an issue of your case looking too empty, which to some is just as bad as looking too crowded. Ultimately, you'll have to go for what you like.

 

You can download the manuals for the different cases that you are looking at and map out your water cooling and plumbing.  That'll give you a good idea of how it would look after install.

The point of this thread is to find a case :) If i already knew the case i wanted to get i would make a thread asking for recommendations :)

 

You lost me man, but give us a shout when you do need help and good luck.  :|

Well, it's obvious that you are lost, because you 

 

1) recommend a midi tower after saying on my first post that i am looking for a Full Tower and 2) you come up with a reply like  "You can download the manuals for the different cases that you are looking at and map out your water cooling and plumbing.  That'll give you a good idea of how it would look after install" which is out of place because i am not looking at any case, i have not yet came up with any cases yet. 

 

If looking for and looking at are synonyms, then excuse me, my bad, English's not my native language

Oh I'm far from lost.  I've actually got every case I need and they work very nicely.  You however have said two completely opposite things within one thread.  

 

You opened a thread saying that you're looking for a new case and then several posts later say that you're not looking for a case right now.  You're wasting people's time and calling them lost while you're at it.

 

In a nutshell, your thread was a waste of time and your attempt to recover by making it look like someone is picking on you because you don't speak English is pretty pathetic.  

 

Good luck looking for your perfect case that you're not actually looking for.

When did i say that i am not looking for a case? I said i am not looking at specific cases to download manuals for, i was replying to you when you told me to download the manuals at the cases i am looking at, but i am not looking at any cases, i am looking for them, i didnt find any case that meets my needs in order to download the manuals :S ...

Now you're going well past annoying.  Can you actually read the stuff that you're typing?
