New case for water cooling

[tonyjones102]

I'm tired of a loud rig with "OK" cooling. I've decided that a quiet PC with awesome cooling is definitely worth the extra dollars.

I'm currently using an Antec Super Lanboy. As nice of a case it is, it's already cramped. I want a completely internal water cooling system from DangerDen, so there's no way I'm fitting it in there.

Before I decide on my water blocks and whatnot, I need to pick out a nice Full-Tower atx case. Right now, the Thermaltake VA8000BWS looks mighty tempting.

As long as it's roomy, cold, and preferably has a side panel window, my ears are open to any suggestions.

Thanks,

Tony

Lian Li ... cant go wrong with their cases

Another vote for Lian Li, and if you find them too expensive you could always get a CoolerMaster Stacker. Lian Li is worth the extra chedda though.

LOL or anohter approach :D save all this money. Buy the Creative gigaworks 7.1 setup 800Watt RMS i think and just put music on or game :) with that on you will never hear your comp :). Other ideas are put your comp in another room. Long keyboard, monitor and mouse leads

:D

I like my Coolermaster CM Stacker 810 personally for not as much as a Lian-Li but as was mentioned above you can't go wrong with one of their full towers.

My computer is pretty loud with 8 fans but I always have music going when I'm playing so I don't hear it but I would not be able to sleep with the computer on.

Lian-Li does make some nice cases. If you can swing the cost, the CM Stacker 830/832 line is very well designed as well.
But stay away from that Thermaltake! Overpriced, serious engineering issues, and <$50 case paint jobs aren't worth the $150 price they charge for their "high end" cases (yes, I have been burned - Kandalf). If you have a dual-slot GPU cooling solution, you have to remove the entire motherboard to be able to install it with their poorly engineered toolless PCI solution. And to get the PC Power & Cooling 750W Silencer in it I'd have to cut the top mounted USB, or the side brace because it's about 1CM too long to clear the internals of the case.
If you're using a plus-size PSU, the suggested Gigabyte might also be a headache. With the CM Stacker you can remove the PSU panel entirely and install it through the back.
