I built a new system last September and was going to go water cooling with dual Thermochill PA 120.3's in an Antec 900 with a nVida 680i mobo and evga 8800GTX Ultra. However, after assembling the case I had to move the hd enclosures, with the fans, about 1/4 of an inch past their furthest "normal" settings just to squeeze the cables past the HUGE gpu.
So, now I'm back in the situation where I have more money and am wanting to actually install the water cooling system that's been sitting in my room collecting dust.
I was looking at MountainMods cases, preferably the duality as I can get that preassembled and holds some nice options for having a dual system later on down the road, plus tons of room.
Question is, is this a good choice or should I go with a different mtn mods case or a different case altogether? I'm not sure just how good mtn mod cases are, but from what I've been reading they seem pretty solid.
Are they hard to build if I get directly from mtn mods or should I go ahead and get them from the prebuilt site? Really worried about it being really sturdy and/or difficult to put together if I do it all on my own.
What else would be some good additions to the case? From what I'm reading they are very bareboned and will not have any of my front side usb ports or any of the flashy things.
What would you guys recommend for me?
