I think the arc have more RAD space

I doubt that the 350d can fit 600mm of rads like the Arc

Whoever thinks a 350D is better for watercooling is lacking knowledge in the subject.

Since it's going to be an m-ATX build, I'd probably go for the 350D.

Hi guys I'm planning a watercooled m-ATX build and I was wondering which case would be better for it. Thanks in advance

 

for strictly water cooling the arc mini hands down is the best compatible cabinet.

350D has no 360 support, arc mini does. interior space is equal. unless you are

using a Rampage Gene for last slot SLI/CFX the fifth slot is not needed.

for 240 rad support, the arc mini again is better with larger roof support in thick

options available. the 350D is stuck on 25mm radiator, unless the fans are

outside the case (eww).

 

i just went through this for air-cooling and next will be water. and i found the cases

to be equal on air, but water is going to be easier in the arc mini (R1 or R2).

Definitely go with the Fractal Design Arc Mini or the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 like airdeano suggested.

Exactly when ever someone recommends a 350D for wc I just Facepalm.Reason being you can't fit a 360 rad in there.It's only good for air cooling.Arc Mini R2 FTW.

Arc Mini R2 has better rad support.

60mm 360 at the top, 80mm 240 at front.
