Recommend my next case

[Morbidos]

So, after redoing my watercooling I have decided my case is to cramped and I want a new case, I have thought up a few requirements

- Must be able to hold a 360 rad

- Must have PSU in basement

- Must have good cable management possibility 

 

Initially I was thinking of the HAF stacker 935 and put the small part in the bottom as a basement and to house the watercooling but this case is no longer available here in cold old Noway so tadaaa I'm screwd... anyone know of any good cases that can do the above?

 

Price point, I don't know... Just give me tips and I'll have to check the Norwegian prices along the way..

Corsair 900 D?

Maybe a Thermaltake View 27

360mm rad support and a basement isn't easy to find unless you want a huge case.

 

Anidees AI-Crystal is the best non huge case that meets your requirements.

 

Without accounting for size you have

NZXT H440, Thermaltake Core X71, Phanteks Enthoo Primo, Corsair 900D, EVGA DG-8 series

Phanteks?

 

Not sure on the 360 rad... sure I watched a review and they did say it would...

Corsair Carbide Clear 400C or 600C, although if you don't mind the lack of a basement for the PSU the Fractal Design Define S is a better choice.

I currently have a Fractal design define r5 and i absolutely love it. The case is extremely quiet and it looks really nice without those flashy colors everywhere. I don't know if it can mount a 360 rad but check out the define 5 as well.

Looks real clean, I'll give it that! but I think I'm going for something a bit more flashy:)

the Anidees looks stunning... wow... I might have to look into that, it's not available over here tho but I found it on amazon so.. maby! Thanx

*Edit* after watching Lukes review on that case... I'll pass... yet a nother "could have been, but is not" product... crist..

 

The NZXT, never liked it much.. for no good reason

Core x71, That is case porn... out of stock in both the stores over here that has it for sale so... might wait and se how that pans out

Enthoo Primo, not available, and I didnt like the desing.. looks wierd IMO

900D: it is a contender... a bit dull and expensive over here atleast but I'll put it on my list...

EVGA DG-8: drooling over this but, not available here and I doubt it will be afordable if it becomes available...

 

Thnx for very good suggestions!

Not bad at all... shame it's not available here, but if it were it'd probably cost my most of my sole and an arm to boot

[Morbidos]

I think I have landed on a 900D, as long as noone comes up with something better between now and when I have saved up enough money:)

[dinnozo]

Perhaps the one from skunkworks from jay, but it has a hefty price.

Do you want it to look pretty (e.g. do you care about aesthetics) ?

Budget?

Any preference on material (Aluminium or Plastic)?

Fractal Define S or the CM Master Case 5 are great options then.

Yes I have looked at them both actually but as stated earlier I think I'll go with the 900D as I like the shear size of the thing... having the Aquastream XT pump, that needs it's space and I dont plan on using the Aquainlett for it, was looking at the T-virus reservoir's so I think the 900D will suit me fine...

Cro Cop is smaller than Bob Sapp and Hong Man Choi but we see how those fights went.

 

It has all the support you could as for and much better build quality. It's not small though. It's a little taller than the huge 780T. It supports dual 360 rads, has no basement but at least the PSU is shrouded, and the airflow is fantastic. Not sure why you'd get a 900D when it's price and size overkill for what it is. At that price you should conside CaseLabs or a CM Cosmos II with a window from MNPCTech.
