Gaming rig in HTPC case

[ross_OU]

So i'm looking at buying myself an HTPC style case that isn't going to inhibit any future watercooling plans i might have. I'vealso got a GTX 295 winging it's way to me so i'm a bit worried about getting a case that will get inside.

I've been looking at an Antec Fusion (Lots of space) as i'd like something with a digital display + remote control thrown into the package.

I'm not vastly clued up on HTPC stuff nor watercooling, so if theres anything I want to avoid with regard to any cases, please let e know!!

Cheers.

Big video card + watercooling + HTPC case = bad idea. You're just asking for problems with heat and space.

The typical HTPC case is not large enough to accomodate the components you want to install. HTPC cases are small. They are typically designed for micro-ATX motherboards and small video cards. Tom's hardware recently published an HTPC how-to article. You might want to check it out:
