hey guys,

i am looking to buy the bitfenix shadow. it has a very clean design and some cool feuatures.
my current case, codegen q3343-a11 (http://www.codegenworld.com/showDetails.asp?max_id_search=11&min_id_search=50&pro_id_search=413) does not have good airflow or space.

so i want to upgrade my case, i really like the bitfenix shadow.

i would like a watercooler like the corsair h110i, would that fit in this case? i have never had a watercooled cpu before so i do not know what to look for. or are here any other watercoolers that might fit in this case?

thanks in advance!

Hey raiqed,

No, the corsair h110i would not fit in the case, unless you modified it to have 240mm rad space on the top panel, or something similar.

If the HDD drives up front are removable, you could fit a 240mm radiator up front and a 120mm on the back, but really that case is not ideal for watercooling.

I would consider looking at a case with top panel 240mm radiator space if you want to use the corsair h110i.

Here is a case that you might be able to swing, that is very upgradeable with regards to custom loop water cooling if you want to go that route in the future:

Another option is to go with the case you are interested in and just get a fancy air...
