So I have been looking to downsize for a while now but I like watercooling my components to keep the noise down and temperatures low. During Computex I noticed Fractal Design had a new case coming out that would be small and support some crazy watercooling:

As you can see you can fit a 240mm Monsta in the front and something like a XSPC RX360 on the top without modding the case at all!

I have been researching for a while and the only other case that comes close to this is the 350D from Corsair and even that doesn't support the 360mm radiator up top. Do you guys know any other case that would be comparable to this? I am trying to go as small as possible but still have good watercooling support.

Thanks.
 
I actually just started looking for a new case and came across this as well this morning. I haven't found anything similar (close but not quite) so I'm waiting for this to come out and have a look.

It only accepts a ITX... however its a horizontal mount... meaning ur board sits flat with the board without torque from either a large heat sink, or monster gpu's hanging.

that is the hottest LC case u do a LC project in if u want small.

That should be a normal XSPC RX240. Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta has separated plenums for inlet and outlet. Don't be so sure that it would fit. I thought that the XSPC EX240 + fans would fit in my Corsair 400R but as it turns out, the VRM heatsinks were too tall and caused clearance issues.

Yea that would be an option but I don't think I am going to go ITX.

Yea, I am waiting for TTL to review it, he usually sticks a Monsta just to see if it fits.
