Looking for a good watercooling case

[Guest]

I have been looking for a case that I can mod to contain both my entire system (3 5.25" drives plus floppy and 3-4 HD's) plus the entire water cooling system. This consists of a enheim 1048 pump plus resevoir, 1/2" tubing, a heater core and two 120mm fans. I was thinking that the easiest way to mount this would be a dual blowhole which would mean sacrificing the top two 5.25" bays but would be much easier (read😛ossible) than trying to do the same thing in my PC-60.

The two cases I have been looking at are the PC-70 and the Antec SX1200 full tower cases. If anyone could suggest other cases or relate links, experience installing a full watercooling rig in these cases, etc., it would be much appreciated.

Addendum: I have also been looking at the Enermax FS-981. While this thing is a monster, it's got a ton of room in it for any mods I might _ever_ want to make plus a couple of nice spaces for a hefty radiator.

Thanks!

Cube cases such as the <A HREF="http://www.procooling.com/reviews/html/yycase_review.shtml" target="_new">YYCube</A>, <A HREF="http://www.enermax.com.tw/products/fs-1200.htm" target="_new">Enermax 1200BB</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=183" target="_new">Chenbro Netserver</A> generally make the best cases for watercooling and can look <A HREF="http://www.abbc65.theseed.net/pics/getting-there3.jpg" target="_new">pretty sweet</A>.

<A HREF="http://www.procooling.com/articles/assets/images/una_rock_full_view.jpg" target="_new">Very tall cases</A> will also work well with the dangerden cube or becool aquacoil radiator because of extra space above the PSU. The PC-70 will also work and it is a really good case except it will be crowded compared to a cube case. For the PC-70 a black ice radiator across the top would probably work best. Lian-Li also makes some even larger cases such as the <A HREF="http://www.so-trickcomputers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=LL9&Category_Code=LL" target="_new">PC-72 SCA</A>.
