Hey guys, I've just about had enough of my gigantic, Coolermaster Cosmos S case. I'm building a home cockpit and the size of this case is really putting a strain on my ability to keep things as compact as possible. Don't get me wrong, this case is the best case I've ever had, but that is when space is not a factor.

 

With this being said, what is a good SMALL case for use with a Corsair H100, Corsair H80 water coolerd and a GTX680 videocard? These are the biggest components in my system and I really need the smallest case where I can still use them.

 

Thanks for any help!

Hi Efrain,

 

Here's one that looks interesting... Fractal Design Arc Mini reviews say the H100 fits... except you are also using an H80?

Hi Ozzie,

 

Thanks, will check it out. And yes, I'm using the H80 on my GTX680.

I'm kind of like you using big cases (i have 2 silverstone TJ-07s in black each weighing 1 ton). Sorry I can't be of more help as I typically look at the larger sizes that have removable mb trays.

btw nice video of that (fractal design) but looks like it would be a very tight fit for both the H80 & H100 (top and upper back)... unless maybe mounting the H80 cooler on the removable side panel.

 

 

LOL... just found this vid at Tom's you might want to consider the Fractal Design Define XL Case if you want your comp to feel like it has it's own body armor. :Big Grin:

 

:LMAO: have to go see if that meets "Threat Level 1" standards... brb :Big Grin:

LOL I could use that case on me to work! LOL

 

BTW, I really like the Fractal Design Arc Mini case... I might have to give it a try. I can definitely mount the H80 on the side panel.

How small is small to you? I went with a Fractal Design Arc Midi when I built, just because the last several cases I'd used were absolutely gigantic and I decided to get away from that. You should check it out, it's a very nice case. The Corsair Carbide lineup is similarly sized and priced, both are good choices for an H100 + an H80, as you requested.
