I would also agree that an AIO water cooler is, in terms of performance, going to be nicer than an air cooler, but I do prefer 240/280mm models over the standard 120/140mm unless someone is absolutely pressed for space, because you can run the fans at a lower speed and reduce the noise. Hell, on that case, you can apparently fit a 360/420mm radiator along the top, so there's more than enough room to go with, at least a 240/280mm option. No excuses, Lux, AIO water-cooling it is.
