In Pictures: Four ATX Cases Perfect For High-Capacity Water Cooling

Aerocool Strike-X ST
The longest case in our four-way comparison, Aerocool’s Strike-X ST is large enough to support up to nine 120 mm fans on its left side panel. Four external drives are supported up front, but the area under those bays that looks like it'd be a front-access backplane is nothing more than a molded-in vent.

Azza Hurricane 2000 is an excellent case.a friend of mine runs a 965 EE and 6970 Xfire and it runs very cool.
Star of the Show was NZXT Switch 810!!!
plenty of features for a reasonable price!
hell better than my armour+
it's time to collect some bucks lolll!!
Agreed! I use to want a water cooled system so badly, until I realized how effective mass amounts of copper can be! If done right it is just as quiet, just as heavy, just as effective, but much less cost!
there is a little kid in me that still wants to do the mineral oil PC though... but maybe I will do it with my kid some day
watercooling is not just a solution.it's a hobby!
if you don'twant then don't do it.stay on air but don't call it a waste
remember,i agree we can achieve overclocks on air but it can never match an enthusiast's liquid cooling setup!
Ugly-as-hell overhyped cheap garbage when compared to NZXT products. I'm SICK of everyone suggesting it for new builds. NZXT Phantom is a better deal than a similarly priced HAF series, offering similar cooling but much better aesthetics.
For phantom,it's the best bang for the buck case for me.highly recommended.
Anyone who isn't participating made that decision themselves, the only restriction was that the case had to support a specific liquid cooler. Having said that, ONE manufacturer has actually sent a message in the past that they'd rather not participate in any roundup that contains significantly cheaper competitors.
Also, how much intake airflow can be achieved by bringing in air through the front only to have a drive cage deflecting it immediately? What is up with that part of the design of most cases? I would think you want some sort of direct flow from the intake directly across the motherboard.
Although, if your cooling entirely with liquid, is airflow even a consideration? Most consumer-level hard drives don't even get that hot.
