so i recently took out my hardware from nzxt switch 810 which is now sold. I am looking for a new case to support thicker 360 rad and thicker 240 rad. In NZXT Switch 810 i used 360 rad at the top and 240 at the bottom in push config.

I haven't been following pc case market for few years and I need your suggestions for the case with tempered glass window(or not) that could support water cooling well without it being too big or over £250. I had my eyes on Be quiet dark base pro 900 but not a fan of huge side window showing of Hdd's and no PSU cover to hide the cables.

Any of you guys that are more experienced with cases could recommend me something decent and not overpriced.
 


The Vivo Titan might work for you. I understand it doesn't meet your tempered glass need.
 


not really since at the moment i have 45mm 360 rad and 45mm 240 rad, and the top doesnt seem to be able to support x3 120mm fans
 


it can only support 30mm rad at the top with push config or pull and since my 360 and 240 rads are 45mm thick that would be impossible to install. Since it would hit my asus rampage iv extreme motherboard.
 


Second time in 93 years I have been wrong.

Please accept my apologies for not confirming the max rad size supported.
 


No worries

Water cooling compatibility - Radiators

Front – 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators of all thicknesses
Top – 420, 360, 280, 240, 140 and 120 mm radiators. (A thickness limitation of 55mm for both radiator + fan applies on 420, 280 and 140 mm radiators)
Bottom – 120 mm radiator (Use of radiators in the bottom position limits the PSU length to 165 mm)
Rear – 120 or 140 mm radiator

Both your 360 and 240 will fit fine on the top.
 


45mm rad + 25mm fan= 70mm so its 15mm over.
 


Read again, the limit is only for 420, 280 and 140 rads, those with 140mm fans. Yours are not with 140mm fans.
 

im not looking into buying new fans when mine are already good at what they are doing
 


Dude, you don't need to buy new fans. Your 2 radiators are 240 and 360 which is 2x120mm and 3x120mm both using 120mm fans. The above limitation is only for 140, 280 and 420 radiators which have 140mm fans, so your radiators with your current fans will fit fine on the top.
 


well sorry its my fault but you only mentioned 140mm rads and not 120 and since im tired rn i can be grumpy.
