What case for water cooling?

[ruthless_villain]

Hi, am thinking of going into water cooling, most probably the XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 WaterCooling Kit or the XSPC Rasa 750 RS360 WaterCooling Kit.

if i went with the 240 i would want another 240mm radiator, and the 360 would be a single radiator.

i want a white case and i know i should use the cm 690 ii advanced but i wouldnt be able to fit a 240mm radiator in the bottom because of my corsair hx750w power supply.

so i have about £300 and if i went for the 360 kit i would have £160 for a case, but i cant find one thats white

worse comes to worse i get the haf x or 700d but i really want a white case so any suggestions welcome thanks alot

Does external cooling attract you?

Anyone that wants an external loop should see their doctor immediately.

Now ruthless for a 360mm radiator you'll be forced to get a full tower case, and if it fits, you could upgrade to the RX360 Watercooling kit, I'll edit in the cases as I find them. First off, what's your confidence with modding?

if i was happy modding i would have kept the phantom i have now and stuck it on the top, dont really want to take a drill to a case tbh, i know im making things awkard but ... im scared

Kk, well I'm not 100%, but the Bitfenix Colossus White? or maybe a Silverstone Raven RV02. The Bitfenix I'm not 100% if you can get a 360mm radiator up at the top, and the Silverstone will force you to have somewhat shorter graphics cards.

There were also some white Silverstone Temjin's a while back I think, but I don't think they sell them anymore.

i don't personally know of any white cases in your budget that can take a 360mm rad internally (without modding) except the raven.

Wil probably have to go for a 700D then

i hve the bitfenix collossus and it can only take 240 on the top and thats pretty much it.

if you cant find any white case get the hafX and spray it white

Well why don't you get a 240mm and a 120mm radiator and use the Coolermaster 690 II White? 240+120=360 =D.

i can do that with the phantom already cant i?

Yeah, not sure how constricted you'd be for space though, you may have to get 2 RS rads, you might be able to get 2 RX rads, you may have to mount fans externally. Personally I think you're doing the right thing in looking for a different case to water-cool, you could be getting in to more trouble than it's worth otherwise. That is unless somebody has already done 240+120 in a phantom in which case give it a shot.

I know its not white but you could fit two 240 rads in the 650D one where the top 200mm fan is and one at the front where the 200mm fan is. put the res/pump you get with the kit in the optical bay
