Budget?
tale a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro (/ProM)

josh6780 · Nov 5, 2015

Budget Bout £50 left could possibly stretch it to £70

JackNaylorPE · Nov 5, 2015

Define cheap.... $80 ?

OK, in UK terms ... little one and da big bruddah

£52.12 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-case-phes515pbk
£72.46 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-case-phes614pcbk

The closest competitors to the Enthoo Pro are the Fractal R5, Corsair, NZXT H440. The Corsair 500 R is a very good case and it's big drop in features and quality to the 400R. Most mid rnage builds we had used the 500R or H440 until the Pro came along and won Case of the Year at Computex in 2014.

In that case look at the Corsair 200r, 300r, or Fractal R4.
They are towards the max end of your budget, but are solid options. (The 200r may have issues depending what cooler that is)

Corsair (CW-9060021-WW) Hydro Series H100i GTX 240mm Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SV7IEJI/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_bKjpwbWC4S652 That's the cooler

Gam3r01 · Nov 6, 2015

In that case the 200r would not work, and the 300r may only work in certain situations (my fans had to be mounted externally)

If you enjoy quiet, avoid the h100i GTX which us as loud as granny's 1950s vacuum cleaner

It gets it's tail kicked (7C) by the H220-X and the H100i is 12 times louder

The H220-X is also not CLC but an assemblage of custom loop components, pre-assembled and delivered in a box

-It uses copper rads, H100i is cheaper aluminum

-The use of the copper block / aluminum rad is a HUGE water cooling no no. Never mix metals in a water loop. H220-X is all copper
https://martinsliquidlab.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/corrosion-explored/

-The H220-X has a reservoir, H100i doesn't

-You can add a water block or anything else to the H220-X

The H220-X fits in the 500R and the Enthoo Pro / ProM.... the Pro also fits the H240-X which is even better. The Enthoo ProM fits your budget and fits any liquid cooler with up to a 120mm x 360 or 140 x 280mm radiator

The ProM is slightly smaller version of the Pro

Fits large - Graphic card too
420 mm (16.54 in) No HDD brackets
300 mm (11.8 in) HDD brackets installed

"case to beat in this price category"

Water cooled build Mid tower case (w/ Corsair H series cooler installed) for £52.12

You can actually install two H100I GTX in there ... but again I'd use the much better performing H240-X or even the EK Predator 360, both of which will allow you to add a water block for your 970 (or even a 980 Ti) and connect it to the water cooling system.
