Advice on Watercooling Case?

This is my current main build. I want to do a full watercooling setup with the video cards included. Do you think the HAF X case would work for that or should I just wait for the 900D from Corsair? I like the Silverstone TJ11 but it's too expensive. As a side note, I know the H220 is not nearly as pretty as my H100i but it performs for me much better.

If I were you I'd wait for the 900D, it's (going to be) a great case from what I've seen so far and especially for water cooling it has more space than you'll ever need.

If i were you i would wait for the 900D aswell. The HAF X is a nice case, but it is not made for watercooling at all. I have my h100 in it, and thats about it. If i wanted to throw a full loop in here i would have to do some major modifications which may end up not even being worth it.

if you are living in the US, you could hit up EVGA in the US and ask if they ave waterblock stil avalible for those cards ( loose ones ), or you could see if EK have made ones for that card.

Yeah I was thinking that. I could have bought 2 of them last night but then I stopped myself thinking I should wait for the 700 series cards. The 900D supposedly won't be out til June or later.

from whats been said, they say the 700 series are coming out next year.
just remember the 900D is a HUGE case, but its made 100% ( almoast ) for modders and for watercooling..
there was a vid out on youtube about it where they did a overall look at it, and a talk whit one of the designers ( i think it was ).

Thanks that's a very creative idea. I'm not really good at modding though. I think I will take the advice of waiting for the 900D.
