tough decision

    hey all,

    just recently i ordered an antec p180 of kustompcs and they were to make a radiator cut at the top for a dual radiator and just the other day they mailed me saying they couldn't do it. So now i'm stuck having to order another case, because i'm water cooling my cpu, gpu and northbridge, i'll need a dual rad so my eyes turned to the gigabyte aurora 570 cause i could just mount it on the back. But after reading a few reviews the temperature of the hard disks is meant to be dangerous and one guy on an overclocking forum said that his raptor reached 57 degrees which is the highest recommended temp before burnout. I have an akasa eclipse but i'm using that for my dads pc. However i could order that off kustompcs and get them to make a radiator cut in the top but i'm concerned if its really worth the money. Also i've been staring at that case for the past 2 years and i'm kinda sick of it.
    Any suggestions as to what to do? Anything at all, even other cases that'll do the job cause i'm really confused :confused:
    thanks

    have a look at the li lan or lan li (whatever) there great and you should cut the hole yourself and that case will cost you allout with import tax inc.

    How about a CM stacker 830. Their huge and would easilly accomidate a double rad. Or the Antec ninehundred ?

    Considered the stacker but i just couldnt get a good view of the inside. if i mount an a dual radiator in the antec 900 will i have space for the 3 hard drives? actually will i have space for 3 hard drives in the stacker? and where would i mount a dual rad in the stacker?

    Any of the cases below will do the job.. The akasa is a great all round case, great for air cooling and loads of space for WC..

    The lian li cases are possibly the best made cases u can get, a sinch to mod and ideal for WC..

    The silverstone at the end is my money no object case... U could mount 2 triple rads at the bottom... huge price tho.

    Huge selection of cases there, any of the lian li's would be perfect but the V1000B is spot on for size n space...

    A Stacker will fit a dual 120mm rad in the front bays and still leave room for four 5.25" drives.
    This way you don't need to cut out any additional holes.

    For a class build you really can't go wrong with a Lian Li though....will only hurt your pocket a bit :)
