case opinions and questions

[ahbroody]

First off I am knew to WC and this will be my first build with wc. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119042 Okay I like this case because there is a nice space below where the board sits to store the resivor and stuff. I dont know how important the space underneath is. I guess I was ust thinking in case of leak this could be good.

The other day I bought a titan robella for 89.00 but it was missing the processor block which will run like 50.00. SO that puts the case and parts at 140.00. it has mixed reviews so I am not sure what to think of it. The case is a beast, but the piping is small and I will be runing a e6400 overclocked to 3.0 with my new system. I am not sure how hot they get. I am guessing not as bad as the old pentiums but likely still a little hot. Obviously this system will only be able to cool the processor and one other application.

anyway just wondering if I should scrape this case or giver her a toss. I dont think my existing case a mid tower can really handle a water system.

If you like the size of the case, you can get stacker from svc. It is blue and black but you will be paying $100 plus shipping and you will get 20 mail in rebate.

Small watercooling should fit in midsize tower.

I never heard about this particular watercooling setup, so I won't comment on it.

Here is a link to Moto7451 $100 WC guide. I think it would probably do you better than that kit + a new block. Unless of course you cannot return the kit..

Wow so sweet I live in an jose and know where these guys are. That means i can save on shipping but will have to pay tax. either way it will cost the same as the other case I just bought but will have more possibilities and I can run 1/2

AFAIK it fits in the case assuming you have 120mm fan ducts. and the pump can sit on the bottom of the case.
