Why half of /g/ wastes space like this? You are supposed to have water cooling in there.
Why do you ppl buy cases for water cooling setups and then dont water cool and have half of your case empty?
I dont get it.

they're retarded
also watercooling is a meme
>why is this allowed
Because you aren't a dictator who can ban things he doesn't like. Please kill yourself.
Pumps are too loud t b h
>want air cooling
>case is full of air
I don't see the problem here
>>60332056
Well to have space for future expansion, maybe you don't have the money to get watercooled right out of the gate but plan to invest into it in the future.
>>60332098 it isn't a meme lower temps are good for your components, it is only bad if you can't make it leak free.
>>60332167
>future expansion
future expansion is the biggest meme of all, it happens like in 1% of cases. In other 99% your hw is already obsolete so you just get a whole new rig.
>>60332167
it is a meme
you have to buy liquids every fucking month and if that shit leaks over your components you're totally fucked
>muh hardware temps

>In other 99% your hw is already obsolete so you just get a whole new rig.
You know you can put the new hardware into the old case right?
>>60332056
That's where the DVD drive goes, retard.

>>60332182
I expanded my rig already, whole new case and gpu the other guts just moved. Now I plan to change all the other stuff, so in essence yeah a completely new rig, but not all at once.

simple clear distilled water will run for 2 years man, you don't need to put those neon green shiny matte looking crap into your loops and you are fine, leaks only happen if you can't tighten the fittings, which is your fault not the loop's.
>>60332056
>You are supposed to have water cooling in there.
Why? I need the space for my hard drives.
>>60332216
>>60332275
you cant put HDD nor DVD there, no slots
>supposed to
No I'm not. Water cooling is stupid and introduces unnecessary risks. It should only be used in very niche applications, not your desktop computer.
>>60332056 (OP)
>>60332316
That's why i'd not buy a case like that.

> Water cooling is stupid and introduces unnecessary risks
same opinion. The only reason i see to watercool the CPU is to take the weight off of the mainboard.
>>60332056
>No 5.25"
Still using a DVD drive.
Also using a large case to have space for further expansions, dual graphics cards, a large radiator and seven fans in total. I have enough space on my desk.
>>60332182
Not really. I use my case since 2015 and upgraded a lot since then. Not a single part except the fans and DVD drive are the same I had in 2015.
>>60332056
future-prufing.
>>60332056
Water cooling is just objectively inferior to air cooling
>>60332056
can't you put fans there?
