Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 Water cooling ?

[Zatlon]

Am going to buy this case the next month, it has good acoustics, and a very cheap price tag, however am also considering a custom water cooling in the future, the case supports up to 360mm radiators, but I cant find a place to put the pump/reservoir on ?

Is there a place for it ?

see this they put it in the front but have restriction on tickness for cooler http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/masterbox-lite-5/

It's not really well suited for water cooling.

Front 240mm / 280mm / 360mm radiator (limited) up to 50mm thickness without fan

It also lists that you can put a 120mm on the rear but not really ... you need that fan to get air out of the case. For custom loops, I'd recommend that Phhanteks Enthoo line. Enthoo Evolv or Luxe

I know the radiators dimensions and it is acceptable, the problem is the reservoir

I appreciate your opinion, but for a 50$ it is not comparable for these cases, I have seen a reservoir with mounting to the motherboard tray below the ssd tray, cant it fit there ? am going to mount the case fans outside the case anyway for the rgb lights to shine and not show the case metal in the middle of them.

if you have the fans in front with cooler in check if ther is space between the cooler and the gpu end since under where psu is you could put a ssd or hdd and space is limited and if you have leak you will be in direct line with psu .

Ah... I was going by the price listed here which I guess is outta whack.

But, to be frank, that case is simply inadequate for water cooling. Forget the reservoir, it's inadequate for air cooling using any set of components that would warrant putting them in water. You have (4) 120mm fan mounts ... at 75 watts per fan, that's 300 watts ... a 1080 Ti draws more than that by itself.

Is this an ATX, mATX or ITX build ?

That last one uses a Swiftech AIO which is a collection of Swiftech's custom water loop parts pre-assembled at the factor, with a reservoir. And yes, you can add a GPU water block (or get a MSI Seahawk EK w/ full cover water block pre-installed) and add a 240mm radiator in the front.
