    im looking for a watercooling case to fit a 240 radiator inside. I dont wont to go for a overly big case smaller the better but i understand it need's to be big enough to fit the radiator inside. I dont like these over the top style case's i like sleek looking one's. I am useing a atx board so any idea's bit-techerz???:thumb:

    what thickness rad?

    a 30-35mm rad will go in most cases with suppport for two roof 120's

    any thicker and its a struggle.

    Here's one idea, I have a CM 690 II Advanced and it can fit 220's or 240's both on top and bottom. Fairly cheap, small enough but still plenty of room, not flashy or tacky and high quality construction.

    I think you will have to splash out the extra for the coolermaster or else the fractal arc.

    You can actually mount the rad vertically in the bottom against the drive cage if the PSU is too long. There's no pre-installed mounting holes for that config but it's possible to rig up. I don't know of any decent cases under 50 that would really do...
