A tower that is good for HO2

the creature · 05-21-2002, 05:55 AM

Right now I got an old mid tower, the problem is that it's too small and I can't place my pump anywhere.

What towers is better for water cooling?

Thanks

you could get something like this.
the AOpen HX08 is good (thats what ive got).
and of course the Lian Li PC70 if youve got the money to burn.

i've got the black chieftec dragon full tower, and it rocks! it's easily the best case i'v ever had (and i have had quite a few cases)

pHaestus · 05-21-2002, 12:14 PM

Chenbro Genie is a good choicce also

kibbler · 05-21-2002, 07:12 PM

I'm all for the Directron hydraulic cases (the alienware cases). These things are really, really, great to work with, plus they look crazy good. Not as much space as your file server or your full tower, but with some space management, you should have plenty. My current setup (The MARKII thread) still has a lot of space left over, no hose/cable clutter or anything

FRAGN'STIEN · 05-22-2002, 02:22 AM

I like the Lite-on FS-020

Gnozo · 05-23-2002, 06:41 AM

I also have the HX08 from AOpen. It's a nice case, but not that big after all. I't would be cool if it were a little wider, I have some troubles putting a heatercore in the front of it. Although, its an old case....but nice anyway

But try to take a look at the one Brad posted....that is an extremely nice case....

Yeong Yang Cube server case !
It's a dream come true..

bigben2k · 05-23-2002, 08:32 AM

Da best for the price: $59 (On special now at newegg: $49)

The only complaint about this case, is that there's no mobo tray but otherwise, anyone who's worked with it will tell you it's fn amazing.

Addronics 8500WTX rules when it comes to size.

Did someone say "Yeong Yang Cube server case !" ?

Brad · 05-24-2002, 03:00 AM

ksw · 05-24-2002, 03:25 AM

This is a nice alternative to the dragon series. It seems to be a love it or hate it case though. Plenty of space from what i've seen of it in person.

well I must say the PC70 is an amazing case, though it is pricey. The Inwin Q500 is really nice, and the Antec cases are nice. Basically any tower case will work well with watercooling given a little engineering skills.

Kevin,

Do you know if those drive holders (I call them cans) are removable to mount your drives like the Antec 840 is for example?
Jim

Homebrew · 05-24-2002, 11:38 PM

i'm not familiar with the 840, but you're talking about the same rails included with all the dragon series/clones right? Mounted in the bottom of the case? Yes, those are removable for use. Hope this helps.

Kevin

Gnozo · 05-26-2002, 01:12 AM

wow.....those chieftec cases at Directron are cheap

Here in Denmark, the same one with a 340watts powersupply costs about 100 bucks

Anyway, they are extremely nice cases, well built, and plenty of room.

ElCoHaulic · 05-29-2002, 09:02 PM

Dam! I thought I had the best case, but the Chiftec JS1500 that KSW posted OWNZ!

Anyway my black CK1100S isnt done, but its got lots of room.

I will be adding the water chiller, inside if possible.
