Watercooling Case with 360 rad

[reeper250]

Which case would be best suited for a internal XSPC RX360 rad?

I will be using the LGA 1155 Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD7-B3 or eVGA Z68 FTW motherboard with an i7 2600k. I am not sure whether to go for a green, or red colour scheme. My current system is blue (check out my sig).

The cases are:

CoolerMaster HAF X (replace front red fan with green) - $215 + fan price

NZXT Phantom - $185

CoolerMaster CM Storm Sniper Black Edition - $189

Corsair Graphite 600T Special Edition White - $209

SilverStone TJ07 - $345

Thermaltake Level 10 GT - $299

SilverStone Raven EV01 - $205

Any other suggestions under $350 AUD

The haf932 advanced would be the best case for mounting a thick rad.It has plenty of space in roof to fit inside push/pull fan config.

as does the haf x iirc its what Tom used (well NVIDIA Edition) for his assassin build

That is where I got the idea for this build.

I will be replacing the red fan with a green 230mm

I'll be changing mine to green soon as I think I have finally decided on my case mods

Is the 800D not an option? The would be my choice

Only the HAF and RV02 can fit a 360 rad the rest require moding and the RV02 can only fit a slim rad so you wouldn't be able to fit the RX only the RS.

It is waaaay too expensive. Otherwise I would choose that...

 

[reeper250]

So, the HAF X or the HAF 932 Advanced?

There will be clearence issues with the RX 360 rad.TTL used the RS 360 in the assassin build.

Ramslots on sniper2 is sitting high on the mobo,and the top heatsink is beefy looking.Dont think it will fit with the RX 360 rad.

This picture will show you what im talking about.

Mobo is x58a-ud3r rev.2.Rad is phobya gchanger360 v1.2.This is the HAFX.

That's the same motherboard I have at the moment with my i7 930!

Check out my rig gallery =D

From those choices I'd go with the HAF X tbh mate, it's the easiest case to throw a 360 rad into. The 650D will only hold a 240 rad, or if you fancy cutting out 1 5 1/4" bay you could fit a 360 in the front, and I'm pretty sure the Raven02 cant house a 360 rad either unless you cut out the bottom internal hd bays.

How do I remove a post...?

I also changed and added some more choices.

I just watched 3dGameMan's review of the SilverStone RV01. It looks AMAZING!!!

TJ07 with Mods to the roof for a 360, Then run 480 bottom and a 360 in the top, I'm getting a TJ07 soon Getting a custom paint job done, But it's going to cost me a £5 to have to sprayed and baked at a Friends car body repair shop, But they're going to Candy pearl it all for me for Free So.

Saves me about £75 for paint and thinners to clean my gun, apparantly they have a Race car they are painting in the same colours,So they're going todo my case at the same time LOL.

 

[reeper250]

Wow, nice!

 

[reeper250]

With slight modifications, a 480 rad can fit in the SilverStone Raven RV01. I think I will go with the RV01 because I love it's design and 90 degree motherboard plate!

 

[reeper250]

Just added the SilverStone TJ07

Do you want to hide the rad, I have an antec 1200 its old now and I wouldn't recommend it but it takes a 360 rad no problem.
