Looking for a new case and liquid cooler

[N00berG00ber]

So I'm looking into another cooler and case. For the case, I was wanting something with a lot of airflow, side window, 140mm fan support, USB3, and support for a dual 120 or 140mm Rad.

For the cooler I was looking into the corsair h105 or 110. Ideas?

Here is a link that Brian sent me. Look's like a good case.

Newegg.com - Thermaltake Urban R31 - Window Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (CA-1A7-00M1WN-00)

I will look around, but both of those seem to be good choices for the cooler.

 

[N00berG00ber]

I like that case!

This one looks interesting.

Newegg.com - Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW) Black Steel / Plastic ATX High Airflow Cube Case

Ideal for Advanced Air- and Water Cooling
You can mount up to six 120mm or five 140mm fans. Or you could install a 240mm or 280mm top radiator; and a 240mm, 280mm, or even 360mm radiator on the front panel. Corsair’s innovative cable routing system gives you more options for hiding pumps and tubing out of the way.

It also comes in white.
I got a 400R a few years ago and Corsair makes some nice cases.

Yeah I'm thinking about getting it myself. Here is the mfr page

Thermaltake - U.S.A. - Urban R31 Window - CA-1A7-00M1WN-00

The hot swap bay on top is a very nice touch

 

[N00berG00ber]

Not my taste. Lol. So for the cooler, I'm thinking about nzxt kraken x60. But if I don't get that case, I wonder if it can fit in my current case?

I'm looking at caselabs stuff, a magnum sth10 or sma8. For good air flow the CM HAF 922 or 932 advanced are nice cases.

I have the air 540.. all I can say is its AWESOME!!

the airflow through the case is great. as well as the power supply being hidden in a seperate compartment with all its heat being expelled away from the rest of the computer.

I have my setup creating a positive air flow. 2x 140mm intake on the front, radiator and 2x 120mm fans drawing air in from the top and a 140mm exhaust fan.

its excellent cable management means theres very little restriction.

 

[N00berG00ber]

I'll look into that case

You didn't mention a budget Noober. I believe this case should suit your needs.

$350 for a case :roflmao:

 

[Dude]

How about this one

Newegg.com - Thermaltake Level 10 GT BATTLE EDITION VN10008W2N Green and Black SECC / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

I spent a lot of time looking into the Corsair 900D. Great case and I don't think it's to much money for what you get. I did some more looking around and Steve suggested looking at this one and I got it. I'm glad I got it.

Newegg.com - Phanteks Phanteks Enthoo Series Primo Aluminum PH-ES813P_BL Black w/ Blue LED Aluminum faceplates / Steel chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Another one I gave serious though to is the Cosmo but the room it took to remove the side panels was a problem.

@ N00berG00ber

It would be helpful if we knew how much money can be spent and if their are any plans to expand your system in the future.
I recommend buying a case (tower) with the thoughts of expanding. You never know. It's nice to have a case that when and if the time comes you want to build bigger and better you don't have to buy another case.

Having the room and ability to move or add things to a case to me is important.
Versatility is the word I was looking for.

I was looking at one of the Cosmos-II case's at FRYS, the case is huge

 

[Layback Bear]

If one has the room and money I think the Cosmos-II is a good choice.

I did look at the Thermaltake Level 10 but cooling came in question.

When I build again it will be on my list of cases.
I'm not a rich person but if one builds a computer ever 2 or 3 years their is time to save and get what you want.
Look at what some spend on a video card and then spend very little on a case to try and squeeze it into.

To me starting with more case and power supply than one need is the starting place of a good build.
I think many of us have been through the small case path before.
Dude you and I and many other have been there; trying to get every thing in and then the job somehow to run the wiring and harness.

Who know, when the Cosmos-III come out the Cosmos-II might go on sale.
It seems like manufactures are coming out with new cases at a pace faster than I can keep up with.

 

[Layback Bear]

Now if we know how much money is allocated for a case I'm quite sure we can guide N00berG00ber to some great choices.
