What cabinet for this rig? Sorry for putting this in the wrong forum-section, don't know where else to put it.

[Dekb97]

Hello TH. First off, apologize for the wrong section. However, I need to buy a new cabinet/case for this setup:
Intel Cor i7 4770K
Zotac GeForce GTX 770 2GB
Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE120 120GB
MSI Z87-G45
Kingston HyperX Predator 2x4GB
Seagate Constellation 7200 ST9500530NS 500GB

I want it to be a really great cooling cabinet. Besides that, at some point in the future, I'm going to watercool.
- Just another question before getting this rig: Would all the components run good together? Would it be a overall good set-up? Thank you on forehand, people.

Are you doing a custom water cooling?
If so look at some of the cases at the bottom

[Dekb97]

Yeah I am 🙂 And I forgot to mention it needs to ofcourse have the option to have a disc opener.
- Thanks, I'll take a look into that.

They have cd drives

pfunkmd, there need to be ports forheadset keyboard etc, where are those placed on http://www.corsair.com/se-fi/obsidian-series-800d? On the back?

That wasn't as pricey, nice, but what does the "when HDD cages are repositioned or removed"? Not sure I get that line, though, it can be WC'd right?

 

[Dekb97]

Just read up on it. Thank you alot both of you.

 

[pfunkmd]

Water cooling is pricey as well
As far as the ports go if the case does not have them on the front the Motherboard will have them in the back not to be a smart ass but how else would you plug in your stuff
Just to be clear you are building a water cooling rig not buying a pre build unit correct?

Though when I read the specs of the case, it says only 2 usb ports, and just atx mobos can be used in it. Do you know for sure my rig will fit in?

 

[Dekb97]

Yes just like that. But as said, first off I won't WC it. First it'll be AC, then in the future, I'll OC my hardware, and then WC.

 

[pfunkmd]

It will fit 100 percent and that motherboard has 6 usb ports on the back plus the two on the front

I have the R2 it is a great case.
ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX motherboard compatibility
Your build would fit no problem.
The case is big for a mid tower.
9.06" x 18.11" x 20.28" (WxHxL)
2 USB 3.0 front ports.
The rest are on your mobo.

Two of the cages are removable.
The top two 5.25" are fixed.
The rest comes apart.
