cooler: Deepcool Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240

Case:

I see it has 2x 120mm fans on the top is that the same as 240mm? will that let me put in a 240mm AIO?

I would exercise caution. This is an older style top-mount PSU case, so a radiator may be too thick with fans to fit up there.

Generally they will have placed the 120mm fan mounts directly next to each other so that the mounting of a 240mm radiator will work, but most modern cases have the PSU at the bottom.

There is no mention anywhere of liquid cooler compatibility at Aerocool website for that case. Not even in the user manual. Nothing. In fact, it can't even fit any of the most popular tower coolers with only 153mm clearance( except maybe H7). If I was you I'd consider a different case.

Is the PSU at the top?

Archaic59 · Mar 18, 2016

Yes, the PSU mounts at the top

Any suggestions for a new case?

Maybe a black or red one that fits a 120mm (rear) or 240mm AOI that wont leave me broke. (ATX mobo)

I suppose colour does not matter that much.

Not sure of your budget. If you want a case with good cooling options that's not too expensive look at Corsair 200R. It's not fancy but has good cooling options. 120mm Radiator mount in the rear, 240mm radiator mount up top and 120/140mm radiator mount on bottom and has bottom mount PSU.

and thanks for the help so far.

There's no liquid cooling options listed for that case. You'll need to move up to the more expensive models for that.
