watercooling Special case for Watercooling?

[Introoke]

Is there a PC Case you would recommend for a water cooling setup and why?

Cases from CaseLabs, Fractal Design. They're usually optimized really well for watercooling.

Thermaltake' The Tower 900 was practically designed for custom water cooling. There's loads of room for you to work with and you can fit up to two 560mm radiators!

There's also enough room to run dual water cooling loops if you want a seperate loop for GPU and CPU.

However the case is definitely heavy and massive so it's not for everybody.

I recommend getting caster wheels so you can move it around if it's not on a desk or table.

Thats too pricy! close to 300€ for a case is way to much. I thought of maybe max 100€ inclusive sone pre installed fans or so. max 70€ without fans..

I dont want to spend 200€ for a case without fans.

So the result is this case: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/vghj4D/phanteks-eclipse-p400-tempered-glass-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec416ptg_wt

It has a really nice case for watercooling

Just keep in mind if you mount a reservoir and pump combo unit to the front with a radiator and fans, it will be hard to mount the GPU. I personnally had to move the GPU down a slot because the combo took up too much room.

I agree with the P400 choice. If you can get away with a single 480 radiator (which you should be able to unless you want to run something crazy like Threadripper 1950x) I am partial to the thermaltake core P5 particularly the one with an extra front side glass panel:
