Best Case for Installing Water cooled system

[RavensBurg]

I am a newbie to water cooled systems so I thought it would be a good idea to get some ideas from some people with some more experience then me. The first place I thought I should start is with the Computer Cases itself. What is the best Computer case out their for modding with a water cooled system. I don't really care about how it looks all I want is performance and ease of installation. Thanks to anyone who can help.

You can install a watersystem in any case. But the bigger the better really. Full towers are great.

If you must do a mid, try to find one with a 120mm fan hole, or a solid metal top. You can usually put rads there. But you want one with lots of breathing room.

Any big server tower is easy to install a water system on, especially if it has a large empty space above the power supply. If you have a lot of cash and are into looks, take a look at the Lian-Li PC-75 (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=103_104&products_id=540&osCsid=0d78863c1e4ae5b3d5d4f34144017ef4) , it is big, it looks hella slick, and it has a big strong window on the left side, the best window I have had so far. This is the case I currently have and it is by far the best so far. Another choice is the Chenming 901 (http://www.isitoday.com/fullchassis/da01bd.htm) its the big brother to the extremely popular Chenming 601, plus, its cheap at about 100 bucks. These cases are good for beginners because they have the extra space above the PSU for a place to mount the radiator, heck, if you have the cash, and a dremel, you could easily squeeze a, Thermochill HE120.3 (http://www.thermochill.com/Products/Radiators/HE120-3.htm) arguably the best computer radiator.

Hello,

I just started water cooling a few months ago. I used a AMS gTower aluminum mid tower case for my system. It has a 120mm hole in the back, I was able to fit a BIX there. Seems to be a roomy case.

You can purchase this case bare or custom pick water cooling components that they offer and have it pre-installed.
