Hello out there. This is the first time I have truly posted anything on this website besides comments to others. I am looking into planning my next build. I am wanting it to be water-cooled, sleek, minimal and black aluminum for sure. I am torn between using a micro atx or an atx motherboard mainly because i am not sure if the MSI X58M motherboard is sufficient for a micro atx gaming build. I am torn between several cases and am also open to others out there as well. Please help me decide on what case to use. I am looking at cooling an i7 and two video cards all on one loop. I know i can do it on a 240 rad but wouldn't it be better to use a bigger one. Listed below are the cases i am considering. Please help and give me constructive criticism as to which one to get with considering how much i need to cool. I do think i will be starting with only one video card to start with though. Silverstone FT-03 Silverstone FT-04 Lian-LI PC-V354B LIAN LI PC-A04B Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Please also keep in mind that i wanting to keep a black and blue theme for this mod so i am wanting to get a motherboard that can accompany that (MSI X58M). I appreciate any help that can be provided. This will also be my first water-cooling project so any other help would be highly appreciated. Regards, ianclowe4c (Ian)
Silverstone FT04?!? That model does not exist, must be a typo i guess right? From the cases you've got there, i think that although ft03 is the best looking one, it doesn't provide as much space inside as i would personally like. i'd go for the corsair 650D, but maybe you should also check out the 600T, i know its not fully aluminum but it's also a good choice imo.
You are corrent. I meant the FT02 I have narrowed it down to the FT03, V354B and the Obsidan 650D. Please help me chose the best one. I appreciate it guys out there.
