Suggest me a case

[Skiiwee29]

So I am going to be changing out my case. I love the MasterCase Maker 5, but... it doesnt seem to support any type of custom water cooling loop, only really AIOs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811119310

 

So what do I need? In order of importance:

 

Support for custom water cooling loop ( http://www.performance-pcs.com/featured-products/ek-kit-l240-r2-0-watercooling-kit.html )

Case must be black and/or black/red (ATX Mid Tower)

Power Supply Shroud

I do not use my 5.25" drive bays, so these would be optional

 

Cases I have been considering:

 

Fractal Design Define S: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352055&cm_re=Define_S-_-11-352-055-_-Product

Phanteks Evolv PH: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811854021

Phanteks Eclipes P400S Tempered Glass: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854050

 

Please give me your suggestions on a case for my system. Budget is flexible around the $150 USD.

P400S might be a bit small. Try an Enthoo Pro, NZXT H440, NZXT Noctis 450

Evolv is my pick tho

I looked at the H440 as an option, but I dont really like that big black bar that covers the 5.25" drive bay area. Not a fan of that.

kind of off topic but where did you find a link to that P400s?

it may not, but it has that mounting points bar stuff so I dont like that visually.

I know, The P400s TG has been known to release for a few months now but was delayed until now.

So I ended up going with the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. I will do a build log of moving my system into the new case in probably 2 weeks.
