bah! new case i think

ViperVenoM

there is no possible way i can get my watercooling stuff all internal in this XaserV case...the rad squeezes in where a harddrive cage use to be, and the pump is going on the base inside, but this little DD pump 1 of the outlets goes directly up - resulting it its practically hitting my flipping video card,

i believe i need a new case * *..which hurts this cost me £105 just 7 little months ago..but i guess i can use it for a non watercooled rig in due course..

but! im gonna need to sort myself out a case, and im probably gonna have 1 hell of a hard time finding 1 that:

is either made to incorporate watercooling, or is big enough anyway so theres plenty of room for it all to go in

is already equipped with 120mm vents if i decide to mount my rad externally..the 2 panaflo fans ive got sitting here need to be used they csot enough :eek:

needs to be quiet..ish (i dont mean quiet as in the case has no fans..but quiet as in it can soften the sound of my huggeee beasts inside..), if possible (these fans are like 41dB..HUGE!, im currently looking for some sort of 12v to 7v adapter but i reckon its still gonna be around 30dB..which is a tad loud so if the case can help with this - great

er...gotta have a nice huge window so i can see inside , prefably black or silver the case - open to other colours depending on the case itself

i reckon thats everything, i hope you can help me ere coz i dont want to spend another rather large ammount to be changing it a few months down the road, least this way i will have a case made for watercooling..and (keeping my thermaltake) a case for air cooling..if i go back for any reason

oh its gotta have 4-5 5.25" bays because im already using 4 and i may get a fan controller or something down the road...2 floppy bays..for my res (all cases have 2 anyway dont they) ..and as for the inside bays i dont really care as my hard drives are in the 5.25 bit

just id like a nice inside to go with my bits and pieces too , im asking a lot but like i said, i dont want to make the same mistake i did with the thermaltake (great case but the amount of wires has pissed me off no end)

budget - is gonna be around £100....suppose this has an upside, ive gotta take the motherboard out of the case to fit the block and test it..least ive got a reason to do it now...

you mean £100 or €100?? I got the stacker case and its lots of room in there, you know by all the stuff I have in it! but its above your budget tho!

ViperVenoM

i mean £100..maybe £120 i was looking at the stacker tbh, but i wanted 1 with a window, and i believe u can get window panels..but then thats even more money

but yeh £ not € sorry to confuse you all but im in the old uk

*edit*

jesus christ i just clicked on your specs n pics, i knew the case as big! but it makes my thermaltake look small!

and something i noticed which appeals to me a LOT is the fact that theres a gap between the bottom of the motherboard and the bottom of the case, giving me more room to stick my pump in...im quite impressed

StRiKeR

lol !!! why not get the stacker now and get the panel later??

ViperVenoM

hmmm

i guess i could...but id like to see a site with an option to pick a plain panel or a windowed panel, obviously its gonna cost a little more outright but it would save me cash as i wouldnt need "2" panels bought would i

im gonna look around thx

also ive just worked out my money situation and if i get it..i want to get everything now and then i cant buy anything for my comp till gone christmas :eek: lol, ive been quite a naughty student..im not gonna say how much ive spent so far..but its not good

ViperVenoM

welll!

ive found it with a side window for £129 :eek: ..it seems though you can only buy it with the optional window with the stacker being blue, well the 2 strips on the front on either side of the bays are blue..the rest is silver, even the window panel

i think im gonna go for it ...£140 with postage will have me in tears

i dont know if i like the blue tbh..but like everything inside my pc is blue well, heat spreaders, psu fans, water dye, cathodes psu cables..etc etc..so i hope it will go

it looks the best chance ive got though ...unless anyone knows of anything else?

Sav Row SR71... Although the stacker is better for WC as u can just put ur entire kit in the base of it. I like the savrow cause its nice n simple...... n nobody has one.

ViperVenoM

couldnt find the 1 you was talking about :rolleyes:

gone for the stacker now anyway...and an aerogate to make these damn fans bearable

looking quite forward..even though ill shed a tear packing up the thermaltake after 7 month...

but the stacker looks rather nice and spaaaacious and ive splashed out and got the window so my cathodes dont go to waste..as well as everything else blue in there..it best go with the blue tint stacker..

still i like it...and now im utterly broke..if anything dies im gonna be living on my laptop till christmas lol
