cool but it cant have a door because of my water cooler

KennyT772 · Oct 15, 2007, 04:26 PM

The gigabyte case I have has a door but it has a large opening at thebase of the door to allow plenty of air to move. With 5 bays you could easily fit that kit in there.

I would go with the new Lian Li PC-A70 case it has plenty of water cooling mods to add. A triple rad to the top and a double to the front standing upright position. Check out the review link on this case. If you add the triple rad to top move the PSU below.. This case will be my next mod project for sure....
