I am placing this question here due to the fact that I am water cooling and need a new case where I can place all of the H2O parts on the inside, especially the Black Ice rad.
I am looking for a case and i am looking are this one specifically:

If this is a good case, please let me know, if not please make suggestions.

Thank you in advance:confused:
 
I have to say that any case can be good for WCing. I think it all depends on what you are trying to do, if you want to mad the case, and how much you are putting in.

Bascially any case is a good candidate for a WC set up.

I know that didnt really answer your question, but in essence, yes that is a good case for a WC system.
 
any case can be used for watercooling, it's just a matter of what parts you use. post a more specific part list and we can make a better suggestion.
 
Any case can be used for watercooling, but from experience I can tell you that a bigger case is easier because there is more room for everything. Right now I am using a CM Stacker, a full tower, and I like it a lot more than my old mid tower.

I have to agree here. I put my first WC system in an Armor Jr Mid Tower...and although I could do it, it was cramped, and for wanting it all internal, I had to go with a single 120 fan rad.

Wife got me a MM UFO for x-mas, and man o man, it made a huge difference!
 
Ok...more specifically, I have a Thermaletake Xaser III that has 1-80mm fan in the rear and with the water cooling, I had to have a 120MM rad and fan. So for obvious reason, I could not put the rad inside. It just would not fit at all. So I had to put it on the out side and use double sick tape (I hate that too). So now I am looking at building a new computer and want a case with good room and a large enough space to put a 120mm fan and rad on the inside, thus my question.
 
If you are only looking at a single rad then you should be fine in pretty much any case as long as you are ok with a bit of modding. I don't think I know of any case that you couldn't cut a 120mm hole in the top of to mount a rad.

:beer: LOL...You have not seen my case. I cannot cut out any place to create a 120mm hole and have other things actually fit.
