Will be using wc for cpu like the seidon 240. When I eventually upgrade my 2 6850's I may wc the new gpu's. But for now I like the idea of going back to full tower from my mid antec case. has anyone used either of these two cases or do y'all have any oyher suggestions thanks Ironcity Edited August 2, 2013 by Ironcity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is so crampped, I want to go back to full. The 410 does look kool. I don't know if I would have the time to do real wc. I like when you post. At least I get to see that hot chic with the gun.

I went with a Cooler Master Haf X (and considered the NZXT's). I chose the Haf X because the CPU air cooler I bought would not fit ion the NZXT!

I just wasn't overly impressed with it. it's probably a great case, it just wasn't for me. I'm running a NZXT Phantom 630 Gun Metal with the Kraken X60 cooler and 2 6970 video cards and am fairly happy with it. Lots of room for expansion and it keeps cool I used the top 200mm fan as part of the push/pull setup. The only downfall is the size of the case. It just barely made it under the desk. The power supply sits on the bottom so I had to buy an extension cable for the mother board power to be able to hide the wiring.

Nice build. That case is a monster at 32 lbs. + what you have in there. Do you still have the rad mounted on the back? How come you didn't put it on top of the case? With that size it should have fit? I am still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Full tower case has better ventilation and keeps the inside cool. I have both the cm half x and 922 and they are great quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
