Looking for a case for watercooling

[NanoBob]

This is my first topic on the forums, so please excuse me if I should've posted this in the watercooling section instead.

 

Basicly I'm looking for a new case as in the near future I'm going to watercool my current build. Now I've looked around quite a bunch for a nice case, but they haven't all met my requirements. I'm not on a set budget, but I am looking for something which isn't way overpriced. So I was wondering what cases you guys would recommend?

What I'm looking for is a case with the following:

• Motherboard and PSU are ATX, so case would need to be so as well
• Tempered glass side panel
• Enough room for water cooling components, including a 360mm radiator
• SSD mounts on the back of the motherboard tray.
• PSU basement / cover (optional)

I'm looking forward to your suggestions and thanks in advance.

The P400 Tempered glass would fit those needs, similarly with the 570X from corsair.

Yeah that's the one I have been looking into recently as well. The only thing I disliked about it is if I wanted to mount the 360 rad in the front I believe the PSU basement has to be removed.

 

Also I do like the corsair 570X, but a friend of mine owns that, which frankly makes it a no go for me to get the same one.

For the P400 there is a panel you can remove for the front rad.

I think the sidepanel on that one is too small for my liking, I am really looking for one with a full sidepanel window.

That seems perfect, would the HDD drive bays underneath need to be removed as well, or can those be left there?

Yes those drive bays would need to be removed.

Haha, I do hope they can be removed without cutting. But I'll probably find out soon enough.
