Keep wanting to change stuff up, lol.

Been looking at the Fractal Arc Mini for my next case. I'm happy with my Silverstone Fortress FT03 but I don't think it has great cooling.

Ever since I WC my main computer I have been hooked. So I came up with an idea to get a new case, and WC the build. For WC parts i've been looking at this.

It's not the same as when I did my first build and bought all of the stuff individually but its pretty close. I would WC the case that I have now but it just wouldn't be enough. It's such a tight fit in there and with the 580 Classified it would be extremely difficult.

I've looked at a bunch of different cases including the HAF XB, NZXT Vulcan, Define Mini and others. The Arc Mini seems to fit the bill the best. Now I just need to order this stuff and get to building.

If someone would like the old case let me know.

The first Lian Li case isn't bad but I can't fit everything in there that I want. For the first time I actually need 2 5 1/4 bays for the reservoir that I am getting.

Really digging that Fractal Arc Mini case.

I'm really starting to hate Newegg, they always charge for shipping :angry:

Waiting for it to come back into stock at Amazon so I can get it for a tad cheaper.

I doubt this is what you have in mind, but I like the look of the BitFenix Prodigy. Small and compact with a unique design. www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?...ix+Prodigy&x=21&y=19

I kill CPU's

LMFAO

Woody,

those won't work, Mini-ITX and I have Micro ATX. I did look at them though. Gonna do some watercooling so i'm going to need some sort of space to deal with the radiator and then use the 5 1/4 bays for the pump/res combo.

The Arc Mini has actually come up several times on other forums as a great case. I think it has the Skyler look to it.

I think it was actually on sale either last week or the week before though. :(

Well after waiting for a week for Amazon to get this case in stock I bit the bullet ordered it off Newegg. Also picked up that XSPC WC kit, not sure how that biocide stuff that they send with the kit works so, I picked up another kill coil. Use one in my big computer and it works fine. So, I should be rebuilding the LanBox this weekend!

Forgot to add the fans. If you need fans for a PC then these are the ones to get. Works great on CPU Coolers. This what I use on all of my PC's.

The only thing that i'm worried about is that WC kits compression fittings are just straight. So, if I have to make some radical bends I might need to order some different fittings. Not sure though. I will find out when I start building.

I have some that are left over from my previous loop but I am not sure if they are the same size. Either way, I will be having some fun.

Anyone need a case for a MicroATX system? lol.

Well if I had ever gotten around to building that ITX system I wanted to I would almost be inclined to take that offer, BUT as I'm just so damn lazy I'd probably end up shoving it into a corner too. :laugh:

Thanks! Can't wait to get everything in house and start building. I really want to get that 2600K to 5Ghz on water. The H60 just can't dissipate enough heat for it to be stable. I don't think i'll have a problem with this new WC loop.
