I'd look at a Lian Li case

if price really isn't a factor. Solid builds and always popular....for the ones who can afford it :P .

They also have good airflow and quiet from the reviews I've read.


(sorry for the double post)

anyone have a Stacker 830 case? They look pretty nice...

Also, take a look at Thermaltake cases, they do pretty high quality stuff.

Lian-Li V2000 series or Silverstone TR-07 casees are excellent for water cooling. I personally have a lian-li pc65 with a dual rad and all the fixins. I hate it. Too small. I'm upgrading to a silverstone tr-07 and a thermochill triple rad.

If you want a very good case and water cooling this is the best case period!!!!

koolance is overpriced crap.

Koolance is expensive but not overpriced considering what your getting.

The Cooler Master Stacker 830 and 832 are BEAUTIFUL, but I think those are mainly geared toward top of the line air cooling considering you can mount 9 120mm fans in it.

What's the concensus on the Thermaltake Kandalf?

V1200 case - 185 (Thats what koolance uses)
thermochill 120.3 rad ( the BEST you can get) -134
Laing DD5 - 80
Apogee GT - 60
3 Yate Loon Medium speeds - 15
10 ft 1/2 inch ID tubing(koolance uses 3/8) - 7
total cost - 481.

And I will bet that it will absolutely destroy any koolance product.

Thermaltake Aguila

Thermaltake Eureka

Looking at the coolers I think the Koolance coolers have a larger surface to give off heat. and the thermochill 120.3 radiator is about the same size as the koolance 1000w radiator not to mention the impractical design. I really don,t think your setup will cool better then a koolance setup. or prove me wrong by posting some vs reviews of the koolance setup and yours.

That can show you why the thermochill is BETTER.

Thats also shows whats best of the best at this point.
Its going to be hard to find a koolance head to head with any of these components since anyone who uses these components won't touch koolance with a 10ft pole.
BTW do you have a water cooled pc?(not meant to sound like an ass or anything. Just wondering)

Reply to Gunlance

I have the Koolance Exos 2, i,m saving up to get the koolance pc4-1025sl for my second system.

Reply to col-p-todd
