Twelfth in a series of water cooling threads spurred by the recent uptick in questions on the topic..... see starter thread here:
Water Cooling 101 - Should I or Why Bother ?
This thread is obviously intended to focus on Cases for Water Cooling Builds, both teh obvious monsters from Case Labs as well as the more diminutive and everything else in between. Again, the THG Water Cooling Sticky is a great place to start.

This thread is intended as a spot to share ideas on the subject of Water Cooling Cases. Current thoughts:
CPU Water Coooling
HAF-XB - Fits a 240mm radiator, should make a great LAN party box

Corsair 500R - Currently my fav air cooling case, also an handle 240mm rad
http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/corsair_carbide_series_500r_review,11.html
CPU + Multiple GPU Water Cooling
Corsair 800D/900D - Overwhelming favoirites for the modding and WC communities. The 800 fits a 240 and a 360 rad and the 900D has up to 5 radiator mounting locations .... can even buy pre-assembled with WC components.
