Hi folks,
I've just purchased NZXT Source 210 Elite case which seemed perfect for what I wanted (see below) but apparently not as my AIO cooler doesn't fit into the case. It allows the radiator but then there isn't space between the radiator and the motherboard for the 2 fans. Alternatively I'm aware I could have the fans on top of the case, but then the cooler I have has RGB fans, so the light would be outside of my case. If I put it at the front, then it wouldn't then allow my harddrives to fit into the bays.
Motherboard: Mini ATX
HDD's: 8-10
Cooling: AIO 240mm
I'm looking to return it in the next couple of days but until then i'm after another case and what better place to ask than here!
I require 240mm AIO system to be able to fit at the top including radiator and fans, enough bays for 8-10 harddrives. I don't mind if it's 8 and have to use the 5.25" drives to convert to 3.5 - not a problem. And as cheap as possible as i've already overspent what i aimed for originally before xmas!
I have enough room on my desk for a mid/full tower, but usually full towers are pricey from what i've seen. The machine will literally be used as a server - so won't have any GPU, so not bothered about that space the more spaces for fans, the better.
Appreciated folks!
PS. £45 was the 210 Elite.
