I am looking for a good case for watercooling I've been thinking about the Cooler Master HAF X, anyone who've gott some suggestions or something? Max 210$ or cheaper, and the case have to be able to have at least one 360mm radiator, and it would be nice if it could also have one 240mm radiator without too much modding ;)  Thanks in advance

Many good cases in this price range, but i believe the Corsair 800D is the best.

This is best case for water loop build. Enuogh room to fit 420-560mm 60mm thick radiator to top of this case.

This rad fits just fine. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16826/ex-rad-427/Alph...
and this (need bit modding): http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16827/ex-rad-428/Alph...
that 240mm rad that you have you can fit where rear fan is. (out side case) fits ther just fine.

Have a look at my build guide (linked in my sig), I use a HAF-X with custom water-cooling and seeing how others have tackled the issue might help you decide how to approach your loop/build.

Very nice! Which of the XSPC kits is that? And how did you make the CPU waterblock lights red, I thought they were blue..

It was an XSPC Raystorm 750 RS360, though I have changed it a fair bit since.
The LED's aren't inbuilt, its just small holes that you fit the included blue LED's into. Any 3mm LED will go in there.

And i can see the LED's are really cheap, and you've got the exact same kit as i am getting ;)

If you plan on including a GPU in the loop later on, I suggest ponying up the cash for a D5 kit. It will save you money in the long run, as I found out.

I am planning on including a 780 in the loop, I took a look at the D5 kit, and found out it also includes compression fittings, better radiator and better pump/res aswell, I took a look at my list, and found out if I buy a cheaper 780 and re-use my old dvd-drive, I actually got enough cash for the D5 kit, but have to wait a month or two till i can get the GPU waterblock. So that's what I am going to do, thanks for telling me.. Wouldn't have thought about that without your help ;)
