Hello everyone. I need a recommendation on a full tower case that can support this kit and also fit my fan controller, NXZT Hue led strip, DVD burner, and my card reader. I was set on getting the 750D but found out that it only supports up to 3 bays so I might be limited there unless there's hidden extra room. Thanks for reading and I would appreciate some good advice.

That's a bummer; thanks for the heads up about that. Now, are there any cases you'd recommend for the said issues? I would prefer a non- led case as I already have my own leds that I will put in it.

I need at least the same amount of bays I have now- which is 4. I'm aware that the XSPC kit fills two of them only leaving the other two to house my fan controller and led controller. I'm not too keen on keeping my DVD burner and card reader inside but, if at all possible, I would like to find something that can keep those where they are. The price has to be no more than $170 and I will add a block to the gpu down the road, maybe sometime early next year along with a second gpu; it all depends on what's out at the time also.
I'm aware that there are other kits out there, but I don't want to spend a great deal more than the kit itself as this is my first time water-cooling and being on a college budget{ I hope you know the feel}, makes buying whatever I need to last for a while. If there is something better for around the same price and- also, i'm going for a bit of aesthetics too. I'm coming from a great cooler master 212+ but the size and the noise is starting to become un-bearable, not to mention that it also blocks one of my ram slots. My primary goal for this is to reduce as much noise as possible while still gaining some increase in cooling and aesthetics.

Which is true, yes. The fans I use are SP 120's. I have them ramped up to 100% sometimes and they are barely audible. All of the noise comes from the CPU cooler and the front 200mm fan I have mounted. I know water-cooling won't be dead silent; heck, I don't know of any rig that will be ultimately silent but, I need more room and I want to get better overclocks on my hardware.

I ordered my entire rig build components (like 25 pieces) on Monday ... Including an AZZA CSAZ-8000W "Nova" - awesome deal on an awesome-looking-and-spec'd Full Tower IMHO. It was a great great deal, down to $114.99 from $134.99 PLUS a $30 rebate - down to $84.99 .... now there are 3 colors, I got the white (w/ black trim) but I came very very close to buying the Black w/ Orange Trim... however someone pointed out to me the White w/ black matched exactly my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited so I had to go that way - I mention this because the Black w/ Orange is actually on sale for $5 cheaper, $109.99 and after the $30 rebate, $79.99 ....

Azza is not yet the fancy and reputation-heavy company like a NZXT , Cooler Master, etc. I really loved the NZXT cases but they didn't have a window nor come with 4 fans installed, and I really loved the CM Storm Stryker, but it was $165. $115 plus $30 rebate is a lot more attractive priced than $165, and while I really did like the CM Storm Stryker, my Azza does just about everything it does, if not almost better.



Anyway it is worth a look IMHO, seems like all the AZZA Full-tower models are on some sort of sale or rebate and also some have a +promo code discount.
