Hey guys today i got my water cooling system without the blocks switchect has yet to ship it for me.... So i started some of the install the rad, pump and fill and bleed system and realized the my case is to small for all this shit its a lian pc 60. Im kinda pissed cuz its a nice case and it cost me 200 beans for it. But now i need a new case. What do u guys suggest. i dont want spend no more the 150 unless theres a good deal on something. The current case that i have only has 4 5.25 bays i need one with at least 6 so that i can get all my shit in.
thanks guys

I have the Antec version of this case...and trust me you could fit 2 watercooling systems in here.

NY's correct about fiting 2 in there :)
You could put the pump outside the case. That wouldn't be my choice. I like everything inside.
Take a gander at NewEgg (www.newegg.com) and Directron (www.directron.com) They have quite a few cases that can fit the bill.

I have the cheiftec matrix full tower from directron and I'd have to agree with fitting two watercooling systems in those cases.
Except is you get one of those Eheim 1260 pump (like i have) then it would be a bitch to fit two of those monsters in a case :p

the only difference is in the front bezel is has the little dash-dot cutouts that imo look better than the plain bezel. well good luck for 69 dollars you bought one of the most solidly buildt and friendly cases that i've had a chance to work with. Shame about that p60 though :cool3:

yea man i think lada this year ill make a second computer for something
if u wanna still iuse the pc-60 for a water rig, get a rubbermaid container at walmart, and put the pmup on a sponge submersed.

thats a good idea but i want everything in the case to make it look better
well, some of the custom built ones actually enhance the look of the case, with leds and so forth, but there still not lanable, and they can have algae and other crap growing in them.
