so guys? what case do you think is ideal for water cooling(custom loop) and overclocking

i also want alot of space for hard drives because as time goes by itll be my main storage device as well.

ive been looking at the 750D and 800D but i want to know what else would be good options, if the case is worth what it can do then im willing to spend up to 450 nzd on it.

If you're considering doing an expensive custom loop solution you should also spend some money on a case to house it all. The 750D/800D case is not ideal for water cooling as it only supports a single 360 radiator out of the box. While this is enough for cooling a CPU and a graphics card, if you go beyond that (SLI setup) you will really start to struggle. The 900D however will fit two 480 radiators sandwiched in the bottom and should be well within your budget. As an extra bonus it also looks absolutely outstanding.

i originally wanted the 750D but then swayed to the 800D because of the hotswap bays but the 800D doesnt have room for a front rad like the 750D..

its design seems a bit flawed as well.. must check out the 900D

While you do have the option to mod in a rad in the front of the 750D, you really ruin the overall look of the case by doing so. I definitely think you should go for the 900D. Either that or you should check out the TJ07 which is also a fantastic case, it does take a lot of work to make it work well though.

Huge case, small pricetag? Xigmatek Elysium, SOOO much space for watercooling. Look up some reviews of it, you will love it.

The 900D is over $580 in NZ sadly /:
