Watercooling case preferences?

+1 for the Phanteks mate, I have the Primo, and I'm about to finish a build in the Luxe, but If I had the chance of a Caselabs I'd jump at the chance, but I'm in the same boat as you, I don't control my wallet, I sometimes feel I should put a request in for some money in triplicate. lol, "OUCH", I just took a slap to the head for that comment.

ROFL...... same here.... :rolleyes:

I would add the Enthoo Primo out of the general main stream cases - and N1. would be case lab.
 
For a mid tower the Enthoo Luxe is pretty dam awesome too, it's great to work in as 90% of the panels are screwed together, the only rivets are along the bottom, I don't see why they just didn't use screws throughout ?

A lot of people who have had a Switch 810 now have an phanteks enthoo primo

it's what i plan to do.

"Switch 810 has 2x 420 rads and a 360"

who the hell did you get all those rads in to that case?

do you have a few photos? i really want to see how you did it!

I do believe I had a thread in the W/C section, wasnt anything fancy or high quality as it wasnt something official.

Here is the link to it, the pics in that thread were taken when it was still incomplete, as PCCG decided to forget to ship me 1 of my fans. Anyways I have since installed the missing fan (took forever for them to admit it and send me another), and replaced the mesh with fan grills, the remaining fans airflow isnt the best as it is pretty close to the front rad, however it works quite nicely, there was practically no gap between half of the fan and the 420 at the front haha.

I believe I did post a pic of the complete one somewhere, however I cant seem to find it, sorry.

I can see the 420's but where is the 360 ? I can see it in one picture, but the psu is missing, and the other picture, with the psu, I can only see the 2 420's
 
Unfortunately I have already disassembled the loop, as I am selling off my 290x's. Though I will probably use the same layout for my next build, so look forward to it then I guess. Also you can see all 3 rads installed in the last pic, I simply installed the PSU where the exhaust would usually be for this case. As I think I may as well just stick with the switch for now, the phantek cant fit all my rads.
 
I have the Alpha in the front and the Hardwarelabs on top with the ex on the bottom.




No it wouldnt for me, as I am going to have to pay over $100 in freight charges and the case that will be roughly equivalent will cost about $700, whereas I am getting the phanteks for $250 shipped and the 900D for just under $260, thanks to a special offer from my local store. (prices in AUD)


I've only ever seen them $425+ so if you can get a 900D for $260 snap that up!!! If you don't want it I'll take it off your hands haha!
