Greetings Water Cooling forum!!!
Hokie- Great article! Everything I need to know. Was looking to revisit current case options with you'all...
As my uncontrollable descent into the dark shadowy depths continues, I encounter desire for extreme water cooling. Not a want, but a need overcomes me...
With one proj under my belt: (review at own risk!!!)
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...ee-and-my-mutation-into-a-Pin-head-(Prologue)
I have been daydreaming about about a new build. If you have bored yourself with the proj log, you will know I have the unnecessary need for a little flair. And I already am cooking up some cool lighting/effects schemes.
The code name for my new proj is "XmasList" and I have actually parted out most everything except the cooling.
I was planning on 2011/x99 mb with all the bells, but looks like I am holding out for skylark now. That's another story..
That said price is a consideration but not totally limiting. It is more a factor as what it may come with or more importantly, what its potential would be.
So here are a few options I have been looking at. Seems the market has caught up a bit since the original article, so the choices get confusing...
$400 - on sale for $200

Not sure about Logisys, as my experience with simple things (lights), etc. from them display poor workmanship. Also, pre-installed components. For my purpose probably rip all that out, but for that price?
enthos series $250+
http://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Alum...7592442&sr=8-1&keywords=phanteks+enthoo+primo
These are nice I think and seem to provide a good extreme cooling foundation...
$120 on sale for $90
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SB2207K...olid=3GZLKTLJR2ZI0&coliid=IXR42O15I56EC&psc=1
for the price!!!!??? And if you plan to build a loop ground up? Actually on that link there are a number of RoseWill cases, all of which seem inexpensive and pre-built for potential.
Anyway, that's the few of many that I have looked at...
