    As the title suggests really. I've looked at the Mountain mods cases and the Dangerden offerings, however I'm a bit put off by the cable management of these cases. One of the things I like so much about the 800D is the cable management.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Internally, and without modding?

    Can't think much of anything, maybe XSPC H2, or something from Case Labs/Little Devil? Those are pretty expensive though.

    //edit: Xigmatek Elysium?

    I'm not a fan of the Xigmatek particularly. The only other option I could find (which you suggested) was the XSPC H2. However, that's ugly as sin.

    I'm thinking that it's just looking like I'll have to mod the 800D.

    I think you'd be better off modding the case. The caselabs cases have plenty of room but it would be costly like SlowMotionSuicide said.

    I like mods for external rads, best way to get rid of the heat is to not dissipate it inside the case.

    Yeh but in watercooled systems, most of the heat is in the waterloop. The ambient temp inside my case is quite cool.

    I've just ordered all the equipment for a second loop, so watch this space for pics.

    The heat is in the waterloop, then goes into the raditor to be lost, then cool water returns to the loop, that's the point I'm trying to make. Lose the heat outside.

    +rep for having an excellent taste in computer cases, good sir.

    Do you have the rads already? Because if not, you're better of modding the top for 480mm, which it will take easily, and placing a 240mm to lower compartment. Putting 360mm rad in the bottom will be challenging, at minimum.

    Mountain-Mods makes cases that can do this, but I don't know how available they are in the UK.

    Edit: Whoops, I didn't see that you already decided against MM.
