    This is supposed to be an excellent case for air cooling but not sure how easy it would be for water cooling.

    From another forum:
    1.My E6600 overclocked to 3Ghz is running at 27c idle, and 43c under load with Orthos, I'm using Freezer 7 Pro, OCZ paste and P180 case, all fans set to low.

    2.mine idle:

    core 0: 22c

    core 1: 27c
    just fans.

    and only the ones that came withit. (the top mounted 200mm, rear 120mm, front 2 120mm's)

    how ever i moved the rear exhaust to the side panel for now

    i am also using the intel stock cooler.

    i will admit though, i put a tad bit more than a pea size blob, i put about 2 pea sizes on it of thermal paste on the cpu.

    Check out the ThermalTake Mozart Tx. You'll fit your computer bits and water cooling in there, and still have room to park your carjust under the hard drive..

    I would say go with the Sharkoon Rebel 9

    http://www.sharkoon.com/enghtml/case.htm#rebel9

    I just picked one up for £35, and all I can say is ooohhhh my good!

    It's got enough room inside it for a good size PC, and has room at the front for a 120mm fan, and room at the rear for a 120mm fan, or 2 80mm fans.

    On the side it also has a 250mm fan!!! :O

    It's excellent so far, has definitely helped keep my PC cooler, no question about it.
