Hi guys, I'd like to change to a smaller case because next year I'll be going away to college. Problem: i have a 280mm aio cpu cooler. Here's what I have right now -https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c3PfLD  I'm willing to replace the PSU and/or Motherboard to go to a smaller form factor. How small can I go with this monster rad?

i was going to say InWin 301, but that also only does 240mm :(

 

the fractal core 500 comes to mind, that should fit a 280 rad!

I was looking at that one... its not a bad option, but I'm worried that the wide case would take up too much horizontal space. i was just looking at the Fractal Core 2300 and I wouldn't even need a new mobo. Another solid option.

Pretty small actually

 

You could fit a 280mm rad into the Define Nano if you went fort an ITX mobo
