Post subject:  Looking for a new case :D

Well, my original plan was to watercool my PC, and use two cases sandwiched together, but, due to time and money constraints, I'm unable to do this now. I still want the watercooling to happen, so I'm looking for cases to help me out :D

I've seen a Lian-Li PC-A71 for £138, a Lian-Li PC-A70 £124 and I must say I'm tempted. But, I thought I'd give OCUK a quick check, well, their *B-Grade* stuff anyway, and I found a Coolermaster RC-1000 Cosmos for £80, and that's not to shabby I don't think. I don't mind pulling the dremel out to mod in rads etc. Anyway, my absolute maximum budget is £160, I don't want a Silverstone TJ-Whatever, I see them all the time in mods.

As for the W/C kit? I have:

2 XSPC Single bay res/pump thing
2 240mm rads
2 120mm rads (may not use)
XSPC Delta V3 CPU block
XSPC 4870 Block
5m of clear tubing
2ltr of coolant
Enough fans to make hurricane Katrina look like a light breeze.

What do you guys reckon? Go for the RC-1000? It's dirt cheap, and I am really tempted.

Ahhhh, the Hiper Osiris, yeah, I've pretty tore that case apart in the end, whilst it was great build quality, the feet weren't, they all broke off, so I ended up super gluing them back together. Which was a pain.

Ordered the case at like 3pm lol, hopefully be here tomorrow sometime.
