New Case for Watercooling

MoraisGT

Hey guys!

 

I'm tired of my current case (NZXT Switch 810), the plastics squeak, the rubbers ar dry and brittle....

 

So I was looking for an alternative, my system is as follows:

 

3930k

X79 Sabertooth

Seasonic G-750

2x 3.5" HDD

2x 2.5" SSD

R9 280X (to he upgraded soon)

 

My plan is to fit this hardware in the new case along with 2 360mm radiators (ideally 45mm thick) in push-pull (not extremely important but it would be nice), a dual-bay reservoir and a single-bay fan controller

 

By budget is around 180-200€.

I don't have limitations in terms of where to buy the case as long as it's in the EU.

 

What do you suggest?

 

Thank's in advance ;)

theres a somewhat limited selection of cases that support dual 360 rads, but I believe the thermaltake core x9 does.

Its automatic, just press this button!

@MoraisGT omg lol i just noticed that.

 

But check out caselabs. they have some nice cases

Indeed they do, but they are a little bit more expensive than what I am looking to spend (like a lot more expensive) :D

Yea but it's more a truck than a case

So true it hurts

I did, the one that fits my budget (the Luxe) does not support 2x 360mm radiators. I would love to get my hands on a Primo, but it's just too expensive :P

Budget is 200 max, not 250

The reason I immediately excluded the Primo was because I as seeing 300€+ price tags!

I diddnt' know it was at around 250€....maybe I'll considerate it, thank you ;)

It does not need to be a full tower...it can be a weird form factor like the thermaltake x9 that mrgooglegeek suggested.

Well, I just finished watching a review of the Core X9 from Thermaltake and I really like it :)

 

I'm going to need some time to think if I buy it now or if I should wait and sabe up for the Primo....tough choice :D

 

Thank you very much to everyone who chiped in!

Dual 360's require a fairly large case and your price range eliminates Caselabs, Silverstone, Lian Li, Phanteks Enthoo Primo, and Corsair 900D.

 

Thermaltake core x71 and Raijintek Asterion are my reccomendations, favoring the Asterion for size and aesthetic.

I would highly recommend the Corsair 750D. I have used it in 2 builds which were both liquid cooled and the case was perfect for the job. I also have two friends who use the "High Airflow" version and they love it. although I would recommend instead of doing a push-pull just do a pull setup. It makes it a lot easier when cleaning dust also in my experience I only saw a 1-2 degree deference between push-pull vs just a pull.

You may not be able to fit 2x360mm rads but you I have 2x240mm AND a 120mm all in mine and it's more than I need.
