Case for custom Water Cooling

[Akira1224]

So I may not do the Koolance bit afterall. I am thinking about getting a good case and custom building a watercooling setup. I know I want to run the radiator at the top of the case and dremel out the top panel to support it. I am thinking about using the DD dual 120 mm radiator.

I don't know what case to get.... I am really digging this case....but I don't know


What is everyone's suggestion.

You can save yourself about $15 and shipping fees if you bought a fedco 2-342 heatercore or somesuch from Autozone instead of the hiked-up prices of the DD heatercore. The fedco 2-342 is also 120mm x 2 and I think the exact same dimensions of the DD except the Fedco is single pass instead of double pass, which means less flow resistance.

I would just try to get a case with a 120mm intake and 120mm exhaust. Aluminum will be louder than steel, but lighter, something that you should consider if you move your computer around a lot.

Go here for a database of 120mm cases.
