Help me decide between these 2 cases!

$550!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a huge rip-off, 200 for a case and 350 for cooling! Get a custom water cooling setup and a peiter to put in the resivoir, and it will cost much less and probably give better performance. Don't get a water cooling kit like that, go with danger den or somthing inexpensive and better.

My God, get CASE 3 and a new Zalman CNPS 9500, and send me the $400 difference as a finder's fee. You'll be glad you did.
Seriously, it's obvious that you want water cooling, but I'd very seriously consider trying a very good ATX case, like the one I referenced, coupled with the CPNS 9500 first before spending $600 on those Koolance cases. The 9500 is not readily available yet, but Zalman claims that it beats water cooling, and Zalman has been a highly reputable company in this regard.

It would be physically impossible for a six heatpiped cooler to beat water cooling. Unless the fan is magically blowing vaporized water over the heatsink that is.

I know it is alot but I like the fact everything is already tucked away and organized for you. The price of the Exos2 is $350 plus the cost of the case which is $175, I don't see how this is a RIP OFF. I know its a lot for a case and watercooling, but I am willing to give Koolance another try after the failure of their first Exos. I have found this case for $499 shipped if that even matters. I have already purchased a DangerDen CPU waterblock with 3/8" diameter outlets.
 
350 dollars is terrible for water cooling, considering that you can get a great danger den kit, for around 150, and then buy a gpu water block and peiter as well, and still have it less expensive. The P180 is much better than those two lian li cases as well IMO.
 
I have the Lian Li V1000B (the first case), with custom watercooling that owns a Koolance anyday, and it cost me a good hundred dollars less.
 
My current case isn't big enough for a watercooling setup inside. So if i did go DangerDen I would have to get a whole new case as well anyway. So I admit I did pick the Koolance case out of pure laziness but I am still a little weary of setting up a dangerden in my current case cuz its going to be a royal whore.

Um, why not just get a CM Stacker and your own high end custom water kit for like 400 bucks?
