Opinions please...

[Showoff]

I've finally decided on the case I want, the Lian Li V2000 (Aluminum).

I've also decided that I want liquid cooling, but not being too confident about cutting up a new case (also too lazy) I'm looking for one with it all pre installed.

I have so far found 2 options one were the rad and fans etc are fitted on the top of the case here but I'm not sure about the look with all the kit on the outside, I think I'd prefer it all installed?

Then I found this one here which I personally think looks nicer from the outside, but is it any better or worse for cooling, especially as the fans are on the bottom of the case, would dust be an issue?

Please help me make my mind up, I used to be indecisive, but I'm not sure anymore...

Thanks.

ThermoChill V2K-Pro i think world be the best out of those.

The second option FOR SURE!

Koolance watercooling systems are horrible. The second option is going to let you build a real nice custom loop that will perform with the best of the best.

100% the second option

thermochill, for sure, plus for all u get thats one heck of a price. if they didnt cut the wholes for the rad below id still cut it, no point in shelling out for a thermochill, when ristricting its airflow.

Yep, the Thermochill looks good for the price. The problem with take-it-or-leave-it kits or pre-installed kits is that they tend to compromise on performance and over time you may be dissapointed with the results and end up 'upgrading' each of the parts anyway. However, the options that Thermochill give you include the most popular and better performing waterblocks available. Now your only problem is deciding what waterblocks to get!

Thanks all for your advise I think you have helped me make my mind up!

I've already got 2 x Sapphire X1950XTX's to run in crossfire and I'm going to use my current CPU and memory (for a while) so just the motherboard and PSU to decide on.

Also if I want to liquid cool the lot (CPU, graphics cards & memory), what else am I going to need to add to the ThermoChill V2K-Pro is it just a case of waterblocks? Sorry for the noob question...

ur gonna need to buy cpu and gpu blocks, if u want to even a chipset block.
