Okay so im going watercooling! yay first time hope i dont ruin my system haha but i know what im doing so i will be right. so i need some advice on a case i need to upgrade to. so im woundering what you guys would recommend for my needs.

so im going to have a 360 rad and a 240 rad. they are both slim rads. i was considering the corsair 800d or bitfenix shinboi xl buuuut they both have the cons which i really am needing to find some other options. so the 800d supports the 360 rad but not a 240 aswell unless you mod it by removing the bottom cage next to the power supply which i dont want to do. (i dont want to do any modding at all like removing pop rivets and using the dremel) the 800d is very expensive aswell so they are the only cons so far. i love the psu cover compartment thing so if you know something similar apart from the silverstone tj07 or tj11 then i would like to hear what they are. (because those silverstone cases are silver inside)

the shinobi's cons now; i cannot install the 360 and the 240 whilst having the hard drive cadges installed. i wont be able to install hard drives then well i can use velcro or what ever but meh its not really thaaaaat safe. plus the shinobi doesnt have those awesome buttons for the side panel it has thumb screws instead.

so theres that. 800d is expensive and i dont really wanna buy it because of the price and the fact i have to mod it to get 2 rads in there and the shinobi because i cant have my hard drives installed in the cages whilst the rad is on the bottom or on the front because there wouldnt be enough room to install fans on it aswell.

please help me out here thanks guys :)
 
I am personally going to buy the 800d. It's build quality is really in another league and it's great for watercooling. THe NZXT Switch 810 is another option and it will fit everything, but for $170 the build quality is busch league. I figured I would just pay another $100 for the 800d and its all metal body. This is just my personal preference as I like having computers look good ( I even bought the red sleeved PSU cables from corsair for $60). I will say that the switch has great cooling potential but I just think its ugly. As for the 900d, It could fit a watercooled 800d in it. I just think its far too large, I liked the size of the 800d. If you can afford it, go with the 800d, you won't regret it, but if you want a good case that's not as expensive, the switch 810 and bitfenix shinobi will serve you well.
