You need a new case and want water cooling. You don't know one end of a dremel from the other and your spouse (or parents) has the local hospital on speed dial due to your frequent power-tool related injuries. Or, you simply do not have time to mod a case and put together a water cooling kit. What are your options? One of the first things that will come to mind to most of you is a Koolance case. This is a great option, if you have $400-500 to spend and want a mid-tower case. If you don't, then you are out of luck, right? Well, until a few years ago that would have been the correct answer. As we all know from the Frostbyte review I did last year, VoyeurMods has rescued us from that dreadful one-horse race and given us variety. VoyeurMods takes some of the most popular cases and modifies them with water-cooling kits that contain the parts you want. You have a choice of radiators, water blocks, etc. Then they mod the case, install everything and run it through a leak test. Then they remove the blocks for shipping so that is the only thing you have to install.

VoyeurMods (VM) has taken passion for water-cooling to the next frontier, Small Form Factor. SFF has been made popular by Shuttle and the growing use of computers for media centers and of course, LAN parties. These cases that are based upon either custom motherboards, like Shuttle, or microATX boards are small, lightweight, and portable. This is especially true when compared to a water-cooled mid-tower case. The problem with SFF systems when it comes to water cooling is, well, they are small. There is not much room in your typical SFF case once all the hardware is in. Of course, this did not deter Brian and the crew at VM, and the result is the case I am reviewing today, the X-QPack H20.
