    New case or mod?

    Almost time to bin my main rig, which has been canabalised for the kids pcs. I'm probably going AMD hexacore, SSD and 58xx, but the spec isn't my question, as I'm planning on watercooling. Not planning on overclocking, just want to play with a w/c setup.
    Current pc is running in a CM Stacker, so what would be best... Mod the stacker to fit 160 and 240 rads, or purchase a new case,
    such as the 700D?

    Corsair Air 540, Asus Prime X570-Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R9 3900X, Corsair HX 750, EVGA 1080 Ti, 2x Corsair 2TB MP600, 2x 2TB WD20EZRX, 4x8GB Corsair Dominator, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)
    Corsair 550D, Asus X470-Prime Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R7 2700, Corsair RM750i, Asus GTX780 Poseidon, 2x Sammy 500GB 970 EVO, 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)
    Synology DS918+ w/ 2xWDC Green 3TB + 2x Seagate Barracuda 6TB, N2200 w/ 2xSammy 1.5TB
    backup:
    Corsair 500R, Gigabyte GA-Z97MX Gaming 5, Win 10 Pro, i5 4690, Corsair HX750i, Sapphire Fury X, 256GB Sammy SM951 M.2 (System), WD SE16 640GB, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance, Corsair H100i

    Well, obviously modding it would be cheaper but if you have the cash, save yourself the hassle. It sounds a difficult mod although it might be easier than it sounds I'm not too familiar with the case. Depends on budget.

    I'm a fiddler... may not be very good at it, but I'm not adverse to whipping out the Dremel an rivet gun!

    The Stacker is, arguably, the original monster case. Loads of space to chop into, just wondering whether anyone has tried before.

    Money... always a consideration but gonna be spending a small fortune as it is!
