I really enjoy tinkering with things and also am really fascinated by water cooling. However, getting started I am not entirely sure how to pick a good case for it. I was looking first at a NZXT Phantom 410 (Black / Orange) because i like the phantom design and the colours on that case. But i don't know if it has the space i need to liquid cool.

For reference I have an Sapphire Triple X R9 290 GPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=)

and an Intel Pentium G3258 ( figured i'd experiment with this plus you all know this cpu anyways)


So can i run a system with a 240-280 mm rad in the phantom? or should i look elsewhere?
 
Solution
The Phanteks Enthoo series has the best watercooling cases that don't cost a ridiculous amount of money.

For the radiator space, I prefer a 420mm or 360mm rad for a GPU plus CPU loop.


Also, I would upgrade the CPU before you do the watercooling as watercooling that just doesn't seem like a good idea for a Pentium.

Honestly, I like Corsair's Full-Tower cases for that. Not expensive, and they even have things in the case for their water-cooling solutions (should you choose to use them). The Full-Tower Corsair Carbide is really nice for this!
