Small, watercoolable and future friendly case?

[mrapoc]

I'm after a smaller more manageable case that will still be able to fit watercooling and new graphics cards etc. and provide ample cooling etc.

is there such a case as some m-atx cases look too small. Im looking to nehalem it up when its released too

The NZXT rogue has recieved good reviews. Expensive though (£100).

If you got the skills and the time you can mod it to take a full atx mobo very easily.

It is extremely roomy inside so watercooling is easily fitted (infact the rogue is probably the best SFF WC case)

The small li-li cube, can't remember model number.

Seen this with a BI tripple rad in the roof and a GTX with no mods. ATX.

o rly? will have a look

needs to house an atx board really so what kinda mods do you mean?

Antec lanboy

i dunno where you will get one now

but that was a good case for the time

and still is really...

 

[mrapoc]

Id prefer the idea of being able to mount a rad in the case without any mods. That Li Li looks pretty god damn big still

 

[mrapoc]

cant really dig up much

perhaps a HTPC case would suffice?

PC7+ II - You can fit 120 rad at the back. Its small, neat and weighs less than a mouse.

but there's no reason for you not to be modding young man! If worst comes to worst strip the panel and send it to WCUK/AquaPCs and get them to cut a 240 mount in the top.

If theres still any 160mm (2x80mm) rads about you could consider a HTPC case. But i wouldn't tbh.

It does look nice and simple light and portable too

Enough room to fit watercooling etc. too tho? hmm

yea htpcs do look too cramped...

i doubt the cooling on that case would be enough for next gen or even my current setup - id need to mod some side case fans too

will continue to look but my hopes of a cube kinda thing is dwindling lol

Mountain Mods H2G0?

Can hold a couple of PA120.2's if need be!

omg i like

kinda just what i was after but atm i haz no money...plus i aint sure whats up with my loop (whether its the 2nd hand block or just dust in the rad) it aint providing special temps...unless me e6300 originated from a microwave oven

could mean me having to buy a block too
