A few questions

hi all at techpowerup , i am new here so go easy
i recently become intrested in pc's ( 8months ago) and ever since then i have been upgrading and improving my pc. I have now decided to go with water cooling and do some serious overclocking and moding . . . can't wait.

my problem is chosing the case, i wanted to get the lian li a71 but i cant justify spending £140 on a case just to cut it up and mod it. i am also lacking in space in my room so i would like to go with a smaller case.

I realy like the antec 300 and its my first choice case at this moment in time, however it is very small and would be a chalange to water cool. (eternaly mounted rad)

do you have any thoughs and suggestions on a small case like the antec 300 or slightly bigger?

?'s
1. I realy like these radiators http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/sys...c-a01-htpc.htm can you get them or am i living in dream land?
2. what bolts has he used where the tubes enter the case?
3. is there space between the mobo tray and outer case in the 300, i have looked but cant see. ( i am willing to cut holes for cable managment).

i am only going to water cool my cpu so i was thinking 240mm rad, cpu block and res

thanks to all replies in advance

hello and welcome to TPU!
while i can't provide any concrete answers to your questions, i can say in million dollar pcs website they really seem to do custom set ups that really are "money no object." i applaud your determination to replicate a case set up similar to that. my advice to you is research a lot into water cooling. as for the bolts that connect the external tubes to the inside, they look like pass through barbs, if you look carefully you'll notice the middle two tubes actually join up inside the case.

If you like the antec 300, the antec 900 may work for you. It has holes on the rear for water tubes to run in.

Here's a review you can check out : http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/antec_900/
