Default SHT10 or TJ11 high end Liquid build

Been looking at these 2 cases for the last 1 month!

Are there any other out there, that are better or similar.

LD-V8 is similar to SHT10. See the log in this thread. SHT10 gives good options.

The STH10 is in another price bracket due to the shipping cost, (Shipping cost is around $324) Due to the price hike it works out close to the $900 range

The Little Devil v8 is another case to consider, but again, the extra shipping cost does hurt. Can be had for around $700 from http://www.ldcooling.com
That however, is for the standard model.

The TJ11 on the other hand, I personally am not a huge fan of and was considering this when looking at cases. It can be had around the $600 mark. I figured for the price, i may as well go the whole hog and went with a TH10 ($850 with a bunch of extras and customizations and stuff when i purchased it due to the kick ass conversion rates at the time)

I havent seen either the TJ11 or LD cases in person, but i hear good things about them both, the LD getting points in my book for the customization options. The TH10 on the other hand blew me away with the level of quality and thought put into it. I can honestly say i will never need another case for the rest of my life (As long as they dont change to some other stupid form factor than ATX/HPTX/etc). Even the customer service offered by Case Labs/JJim has been incredible. Any question i asked i got a prompt reply to, even on weekends and nothing i wanted seemed to much to ask. He is even willing to post the case in a primed stage ready for paint (Well, after some sanding work etc) not that i went for that option mind you, i loved the gloss white

Thanks for your input!

I was swinging to the STH10 if it was same price as the TJ11
but yea the 360 bucks postage what i got quoted was out of control.

LD just looks shit at the front. needs to be heavily modded to make it not look like sheet metal.

Has no cornered edges, making it look bad in my eyes.

Should have brought the STH10 last month! before the price hike

As one of the few STH10 owners in Oz I am completely biased so you can take what I say with a grain of salt.

For all out water cooling the STH10 blows the TJ11 and LD out of the water. the capacity for radiators is so much more (2x 560 2x 480 2x360) without any modding, cutting, or anything requiring more than a screw driver.

The build quality is amazing, the quick release panels are brilliant, and despite its size it is incredibly light. at 11kg its almost half the weight of a 800D.

If you do order one, make damn sure you get every accessory your ever likely to need, freight is free on those items at the time of purchase.

In the current climate I will suggest its going to cost more than 1k to land a STH10 with all the trimmings, be careful as items over 1k attract GST.

Personally it was the case for me as soon as i seen it, love it to death.

Or organizing a bulk order.

I very much doubt you have the required capital (5k+) sitting there for it. Besides they may not sell at all, alot of people dont want to spend that much on a case.

I have the cap, wouldnt be looking at caselabs if I didn't. got a new job offshore.

I am just a tight ass at heart. 360 for posting. Come on.
I bought a 100liter fish tank from the USA the other day for 130 postage.
That's 45kg!
Case labs needs to get there shipping together.

My old job was shipping 3 day air freight (240kg crates) for 260
