Hi there!

I was wondering how best to determine if a case can accommodate a liquid cooling system? I was specifically wondering indicators to look for which would help determine if the radiator and the reservoir would fit (I'd prefer an internal system), and if so, where to install them.

Thanks!

Enter the link and select your case size (ATX, Micro ATX,ect), if you want a window, color, number of drive slots internal/external, and expansion slots. Then when you get all that look up select the case to get the case model to see what size radiator it supports. Google search for the case makers site with the model so to get the specs.

The one like like is the Corsair air 740.

practically, any case can be liquid cooled. sometimes it may require specific components or case modifications.
to identify a suitable case is both simple and not. basically good cases list radiator mounting options in specs. the layout of the case helps to determine if there a place to conveniently mount pump and/or reservoir.
An example of great case for custom liquid cooling under 100$, would be Fractal Design Define S.
Of course there are other options as well. depends what system you intend to put into that case (determines how much rad surface and what pump you are going to need).
