Silverstone TJ07 or the Corsair 800D for W.C.

I just want a Good looking case that is easy to work with for W.C. not into flashy case's

The TJ07 has been out for a very long time and is outdated somewhat. I have seen a few pic's though that makes it to look like a very good case for water cooling and it also looks nice. I have never seen one actually other than pic's on forums and were you can buy one at. With that said Pic's aren't always the same as when you see them in real life.

The 800D has that simple clean look to it, plus hot swap drives , support for SSD drives, unreal wire management and so on. I have read that it is big and have seen the Dimensions for it but probably won't realize how big it is till I actually see it. This case too seems to be set up great for water cooling.

I have both a I7 920 That I was able to OC to 4.2 on air stable and a I7-950 that I can't seem to OC much at all on air.

I want to make something that will have folks asking me were I got it lol or how I did that.
I want tot O.C. the CPU, W.C. the GPU and chipsets too.

This Case also looks like it may be a good choice for a W.C. Set up.

Here is my newly updated rig in the 800D. Installing and working with the water system is very easy. I'm pretty much taking advantage of all the pros you listed for the 800D. Great case, doubt you'd be disappointed.

That Pinnacle case looks like it would be great too, wonder how the wire management is?

The Tj07 doesn't need any dremel tools to use 1 maybe even 2 360 rad's, the bottom of the case fit's one on the side just fine from what I saw and I believe I saw one using 2 360 rad's one there side on the bottom of the case.
But the size of the Cosair would make everything very easy to work with and every thing else it has to offer.
The only down side I have seen about the Corsair is that it doesn't ( at least with the fans it comes with) cool very good. So I may need to get one or maybe 2 more 120 rad's to help with the 5870 I have and the MB North and South Bridge Chipsets.
 
I too have been looking into both the TJ07 and 800D as a new case and water cooling upgrade. 2 loops, one for cpu and chipsets, and the other for 2 gpu's. The 800D is cheaper in price but it appears that the TJ07 accommodates rads a little nicer. I wish the TJ07 was painted black on the inside.
 
what makes the TJ07 great is the fact that it is such thick aluminum. i mean you could sit on it thick aluminum.lol... and you can put a quad core in the bottom of the case just by sitting it there
 
I have two 120.3 rads in my 700D and it took a nice bit of dremel work to make those fit. Personally, I like the look of it over the TJ07 because I like large metal boxes with as little "flash" as possible.
