So here goes, I'm having a problem finding the case of like to build in eventually , I have time to find it since my build won't start for a few months down the road , I'm looking for a large case, full tower , I do plan on water cooling it mainly for looks, I will be overclocking but not extreme overclocking to the max limits , 

 

the he case I originally wanted was and so far still is the 900d I like the idea of having a basement to hide the psu and I like the way they look with the rad in the basement with fans showing through. The problem is I don't like the idea of having the 5.25" drive bays being in there , when I do the custom loop I plan on having 2 loops and would like 2 vertical resivoirs next to the mobo I also want the clean look behind all the components similar to the caselabs sma8 is the exact look I'm going for , are there any other cases that have that look that don't cost $600+ ?

unfortunately most full tower cases come with drive cages and such for obvious reasons.

Have you seen the new evga cases? they seem like good option for watercooling

Thermalfake has a full tower you'd probably like. I think it's called the x71?

You sir may have just found the case I have been looking for!

 

i would have preferred a wider case but I may have to downscale my dreams a bit and go with this case and do a single loop until I feel like dropping the 700 on a caselabs case , I'll have to do some research in this case but it may be just what I was looking for and $200 less than the 900d , this will take some looking into thank you very much.

 

if anybody else knows of any more similar cases please keep them coming!

 

those caselabs cases are downright insaine with the customizations bailable on them but each option is about 30 bucks so a $600 case goes to 700+ real quick especially if you opt for the $250 paint schemes
