The CM-690 has pre-drilled holes on the back of the case that are rubber sealed, ready for tubing. I think a lot of enthusiast cases are like that nowadays though.
I don't have WCing in my 690 though, so I can't comment on how well everything fits! :)

Silverstones TJ09 is made for that very purpose, watercooling. Also great for aircooling.

From personal experience owning an Armor w/ a dual radiator cooling kit... NO. That was my initial plan as well, but the dimensions just wouldn't allow for it with my particular kit. I REALLY didn't want to have an external radiator, but that's just how it worked out.

ya, i already have an armor, but my friend wants to buy it...so i was like sweet. maybe i can find a better one. buy yes, i would like to put a dual radiator somewhere internally. i know the gigabyte arora has 2 fan slots in the back, as well as the apevia xjupiter. or i can modify the top and have a radiator there, but im afraid the psu will get in the way... full tower is preferable please. also im in the range of ~200$

 

a case window is preferable, but i can just modify one myself.

CeBIT 2008: Thermaltake's secret weapon

Published on March 10, 2008

When it came to cooling systems, Thermaltake had quite a few interesting thing to show. Air cooling wise, the manufacturer promoted 14 cm fans with two new models: the V14 Pro and the BigTyp 14 (the latter had already been seen at the CES). The first model, very wide, uses 6 heat pipes to send heat on the two copper heat sinks that aren't that thick, but that are wide. In between is the fan that is placed vertically, a la Zalman CNPS. It'll easily evacuate the casing's hot air but will provide only a small air flow to the chipset and the processor's power supply stages. On the opposite, the BigTyp 14 and its six heat pipes in U will handle this well and should have better overall performances for the processor. Both air cooling systems should be available in a month. Read more

Even if Silverstone still aims at high end cases in aluminum, we noticed a big change. The manufacturer unveiled numerous PC Home Theater cases the previous years, but was much less enthusiastic this year, like its competitors. It seems this kind of product is growing out of style. We just found a mainstream unnamed prototype meant to come out in June. Read more
