I've never been a huge fan of the TJ07, but to each his own.

As far as W/C support, have you looked at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146089

^oh yes,i suggested him switch and haf x but [strike]i[/strike] he would like to choose between 800D and TJ07.

There are better cases, but if it's between those 2 only, it's all personal preference.. They're both good watercooling cases. All depends on what he's going to cool with water too. Just CPU or CPU/GPU? Either way though, each case has enough rad space to internally mount radiators that will cover the TDP for the components listed. TJ07 has more internal radiator support with minor modding, and if you're handy with a dremel, the 800D has a lot of potential too.

thanks brotha!looks like i am going to tell him to go with TJ07 and for $200,it's a good deal.a 4x120mm rad will easily cool a i7 920 and gtx 480.
thank you.
BTW,who is the OEM of fractal design power supplies?

Not sure, honestly. I bought it as a design consideration and left quality as an afterthought. lol. Haven't had any problems with it though. It's 80 Plus certified
