Case with 55cm length

Hey all

width and height arent as important but still looking for a quality looking smallish case to watercool.

I want it to go on my desk which gives me 55cm to play with, it can overhang a bit...well it will have to for cables behind i suppose.

needs to be a bit taller than a pc-8 or similar so the rad (360mm) has space to go without totally sacrificing all my pci slots

Always a good idea to look at the A17 for small watercooling dude.

yea thanks tom but the thought of an external cd drive doesnt sound too cool

is there ANY way to get a 360 in there with a cd drive and without sacrificing my pci soundcard and tv viewer?

nice case tho, love it

where would that fit?

i thought the 360 would take up the whole of the front panel?

I'm not sure if you could, but i am sure with some imagination and a dremel you could. Or you could fit a 120.2 in the front, allowing you to still use a dvd drive and some hard drives, and then mount a 120.1 in the roof (or 120.2 with the bracket to make the psu stick out the back more? depends what you wanna do

Externals are ok dude, I dont ever use internals now tbh. its either bin the cd drive or loose some pci slots and have the rad in the bottom.

Slimline ^^ probs wont work, be a mare to fit and the rad will use up most of it, a thermo will touch the roof.

Suppose i hardly use my cd drive anyway

seems a plan

have the rad moving air in or are we reversing the air flow so air comes in from back and out the front?

Depending on how much chopping your prepared to do a V350 could do it. Coupled with the right matx mobo youd be sorted, assuming the 2 pci cards + a gpu is all you have down there?
