i recently asked for advice on what would would be a good case sutible for watercooling, but said i could not spend more than around $200US.

i have now seen a Slverstone TJ07 which i like the look of.

so, my 4 questions are,

is this the best case i can get without spending a stupid amount of money?,

and if anyone has watercooled (internaly) one can they post a picture of it please?,

and how do you keep the front of it looking good? (can you get drive bay covers for your CD drives like the Lian-Li ones),

and can you not install external 3.5in devices without removing the ports? (this does not seem right to me.)

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael.

An Antec P182 wouldn't be a bad choice, and its quite economical: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811129025

That's a very popular case. These are just a few of the people that have worked with that case, Google it and you'll find more.

Just buy black drives and they will match the black case. You could take the aluminum bay covers off and mod them to fit on your drives so you don't see the drives.

I have the P-182, and have water cooled it. Everything was internal till I had to add my third 120 rad, so I mounted it on top.

PM me your email and I will send you some pix.

any of the cosmos cases will work well.
RC-1000

Cosmos S
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119150

The RC 1000 will take a dual 120 mm rad easy up top and another 120mm rad in the rear with plenty of room to spare.

The cosmos S will take a triple 120mm rad uptop.
