I have £300... max £330.

For watercooling I was thinking this as JaMez (rubber.sex) has it, and it works great

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductI … tID=403498

(£116)

I have an Antec 900 and for one I don't think it would fit inside there along with new graphics card's etc. It's a tight squeeze at the moment with a 8800GTS (320 meg)

Secondly It's a very common case, and I'm going to be taking this rig to big Lan's about 3 times a year. So I would love something that stands out...

Must have a window to show of all the sexyness. And must be big.

why would you want to waster your money? Just because it looks cool?

also that thermaltake kit is complete shit.

As for the case if you want big, you won't go wrong with a Thermaltake Armor series.

I have one and as you can see it's plenty big enough, that's a 8800GTX in there.

The down-side to it is that it's one heavy motha. (Which could be good for LAN parties, it's less likely to get up and walk away on it's own.)

For a stand-out look, you could always build your own case.

On watercooling, it depends whether you want to overclock, want a silent case, ect.

No. I need a silent rig as my PC is now in the room next to where my granny sleeps. Antec 900 with 5 x 120 mm fans and 1 x 200 mm fan is loud as hell and keeps her awake.

And also for the sheer sexyness yes

For cases I like

That's really nice.

Don't know if it would fit all my parts though...

The idea is that it will fit in anything, provided you find a suitable radiator.  They used to have a rear-mounted radiator, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

There is also this, if you have another 5.25 bay open:
http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-aquab … iator.html

For the best convenience and cooling capacity, it's nice just to water-cool your CPU and North Bridge, leaving your video card(s) air-cooled.  8800 water cooling blocks are fairly expensive, and introduce much more heat into the water system.

These are nice, though:

Don't ship to the UK though... just realised lol.

CPU averages 28-30 and never reaches 40.

Other stuff is fine.

Too loud though. Sounds like a jet.

Really, REALLY nice case, man. That looks fucking AWESOME to say the least.

I suggest the Gigabyte Mercury though. Watercooling's built in already.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … %2bMercury

It shows you how much you have left, has a waterflow indicator, has a hole on the top for easy coolant refilling, is very easy to install and is just badass in general.

So expensive.

Bit worth it i guess

Black case with Blue water cooling will look nice yah?

(With 2 or 4 cathode lights aswell to bring out the blue more)

Exactly the same except a E6850 instead of his Quad. But mine is G0 stepping so probs have same performance.

And he has like SLI GTX and I have single GTS.

@ Terror - JaM3z is coming up to fit it all I hope so everything should go smoothly
