Hi All,

Need your help again.....

I played with some case desighns, the AOpen bigtower, mounting 2 midi towers together etc.

What case could hold:

This is what I have, and what I want to cool:
Hydror L20, (**2x**)
BlackIce Pro 13mm in/out
DTec Rad 13mm in/out
Astec rad 8mm in/out
Whitewater CPU block 13mm
DD Z 875 nothbridge chipset block 13mm
Innovatek Graph-O-Matic Gforce4 10mm
Koolance Hard Drive Cooler 6mm (**3x**)
Dangerden Reservoir round, 10mm
Astec reservoir round 7mm
loads of fans (8x12cm (to be used as sandwich for the rads/and 2 for intake + 4x8cm for intake)

And ofcourse:
IC7-Max3
CPU P4 2.8, (OC'ed to min 3.5Ghz)
GPU Club G-force4 (Not OC'ed)
5 1/4 bay:
3x HDD (in a swing)
DVD Burner,
CD burner
DVD player
Fan regulator
3 1/2 bay
Floppy

It would be great if the case would have USB at front.

Anyone know a case that could hold this all, or has ideas for a good modd?

YY Cube, Liteon FS020, and Chenbro Genie are all good candidates. AMS GTower (full version) would prolly work too.

I recon you might be able to get all of that stuff in one of the larger Lian Lis - though they may require some serious modding.

Thanks for all the info.

I checked out some possebilities, and I'll ended up modding my own midi tower, to be able to handle 3 5 1/2 bays inside

For all the Water cooling stuff, I'm building a seperate case, that will go under my computer case.

For this I have 2x 12 cm and 3 x 8cm fans for intake.
The 3 rads will gave one 12cm fan also.

Pumps go in the box also. From the bos to a hole in the botom of my case, and it's connected with 20mm hose.

I'm putting some foam inside, to dempen the noise. (if any, the fans will run at 7v)

I'll post some pics when it's completed.
