NZXT SWITCH 810 vs AZZA Genesis 9000

[Fidel]

Sorry guys I'm a bit new to this so forgive me for my noobitis. I am looking for a new case that I can slowly build my rig on. I would really like to go all out with a water cooling loop. and not have to worry much about modding. Something like two radiators (one 360 45+mm thick top and a monster 240 80mm thick for the bottom) I would also like to do push-pull on both.

I guess my real question is what are your experiences with these cases, and do you think either of them fit the bill for what I am looking for?

on a side note, it has been very difficult to find a good review on the Azza Genesis 9000.

Here are the links for both of the cases. Azza- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517019

The Switch is a very popular choice so I'd go with that.

What hardware are you wanting to watercool?

mmm, it looks like something Thermaltacky would make.

Just trying to put as much bling as possible on a case...

The front of it looks sad lol

For what you've said above, stick with the 810

I have to agree with the appearance of the azza. It just seemed to come with more bells and whistles than the 810. I guess i was curious why no one had made a decent review on it yet. maybe its just because the thing is fugly. Anyways the watercooling would be fore a cpu and one gpu with the option to expand on later to additional gpu's and what not later.

Switch 810, for sure.

The Switch all day long, that Azza looks like a mish mash of about five different cases.

I have a Switch 810 at the moment, but will be changing to Corsair Obsidian 900D.

I currently have a 360x60mm XSPC RX360 in the roof with a single set of fans on it, and a Alphacool 240x60mm in the bottom with push pull on it.

I don't believe there is room at the bottom for a 80mm, rad with push pull unless you stand it up vertically after removing the hdd cages.

You can do push pull on the rad at the top of the case, aslong as you get a switch 810 that has the holes cut in the plastic shelf for air flow for the last fan, also you will need to be carefull of the 8 pin power socket on the board and the heatsinks on your motherboard for the, VRM's etc because they can catch on the fans on the bottom of the rad.

My current board won't let me run push pull on the rad, because the 8 pin power lead catches the bottom fan.

Other than that the Switch 810 is a amazing case, and dependant on what cpu and gpu you are going to cool you can get away with a single 360x60mm rad aslong as it's a good one, as shown by TTL in the XSPC RX360mm kit that he reviewed, and only if you went to SLI or Crossfire would you need to add in another radiator.
