Best 1080 ti for water cooling

Inwin makes great cases, but the TG ones are like all Glass cases, they don't have optimal airflow. Though really, any case should be good with a watercooled setup. I've got the Evolv TG, haven't built my PC in it yet, as I've gotta save for parts. It'sbeutiful and well made, though peeps complain about the airflow. If they just planned their loop properly around the obvious (read; flat front and only small vents on the top) limitations of the case, thief temps would be fine. I think it's also that PC enthusiasts freak out and say, it's terrible cooling, since it's 10 degrees hooter than my other setup, yet don't realise it's still 20 degrees better than any peasant level cooling solution. 

 

Just find a case you like, read up reviews, plan you rad placement and fan choice wisely, then go ahead. Advantage of not so popular cases is they stand out (or just get an Evolv and be popular. Though @Slick built a rig with dual 1080s and such in one, and I haven't seen him bemoaning the temps). 

Hmm would a in win have better air than the Evolv? also at the same time https://mnpctech.com/phanteks-case-mods/phanteks-primo-front-grill-en/evolv-vented-front-panel.html do you think this would look ok?

I don't really like the look of it, but if you do, go ahead. And what InWin case were you thinking of?
