What is better for water cooling and cable management
I know it is a personal choice ,I have done research but I don't now what to get.

you can fit a 120.3 way easier than those other cases though lol

I'm getting the case and want to be the only one :P

The 800d is really in a league of it's own with it's design. Not a single thing went overlooked with that case. I hope to water cool too down the road with a 3x120 and a 2x120 in that case.

they're both fairly bad for watercooling, consider something different

I don't know about the Antec but I do know that the HAF has holes to run hoses outside the case if needed, a built in fillport hole and there's lots of room to mount a 120x3 rad inside the case (probably can do 2 120x2 as well as the 120x3). I'm curious, what makes them bad?

i shouldn't say bad, i should say bad for trying to do an all internal loop

the koolance is the first thing that strikes me, but then those freezone blocks are made of aluminum, and aluminum+copper=corrosion
 
Ah, I think it's still very doable even if you have an AC pump though. Any full tower has enough room that you should be able to route all the hoses around without too much trouble.

aah i see, I must admit i didn't look up the cooling setup (or look too much at the system, never getting one, can make one much cheaper :P) but it seems pretty stupid they would do that, I mean scan are usually pretty good on everything they do

Why is a HAF 932 bad for watercooling exactly?

Not a whole lot of options for mounting a radiator, you can put possibly a triple up top, but anything else would pretty much have to be external. You of course can watercool either of them, but the HAF and twelve hundred are both crappy for watercooling overall.
 
You can look up just about any case with the word 3DGameMan after it on youtube and you'll get a video that explains just about every detail of the case.
