Hello,

Soon i will be building a pc gaming rig. And i was wondering if you guys know any cheap pc cases that are able to fit a watercoolng system inside. The current case that i am planning to build in is the thermaltake g41 commander window, which supports watercooling, but im not sure if it will fit for example an alphacool watercooling 240 mm radiator set, with the bay reservoir fitted nice and snug in the front of the case. The watercooling system is going to be used for my cpu, an FX 6300. For example these:

http://www.alternate.nl/AlphaCool/NexXxoS-Cool-Answer-240-LT-ST-Waterkoeling-set/html/product/1069312?event=search

On the last watercooling system link, i also was wondering which pc case will fit and support the bay reservoir nice and snug. I am still thinking which one to buy of those 3 liquid cooling systems. If its possible a case that still fits any watercooling system i choose from one of those links.
I hope to hear soon.

The case can support a 240 or 280 rad up top. Can also put a 120 rad in the exhaust. So no issues there. A 240 rad for the FX 6300 seems a little overkill, or at least that kit. FX 6300 is about $100US and we're looking at a cooling system that costs more.

I like the Alphacool unit if you have plans to add a GPU to the loop. No need to worry about the front bay, it will work just fine. Just remember to leave room above the res for filling.

The best mATX watercooling case in my opinion is the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2.
The best full-sized ATX watercooling case in my opinion is the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 or the NZXT H440 (in black).

All these cases have plenty of room for radiators and places to locate reservoir and pump.
