Advice On Cooling Case!

[NuclearCrap]

I wouldn't cheap out on the case. It's what you see everyday and it most likely will be there for years despite the amount of hardware upgrades you'll get. Check out the Cooler Master Stacker or the Stacker 830, depending on how much space you need. The regular (also the original) Stacker has a very civilized look, with much more space which dual PSUs and loads more room than the Stacker 830. It's full tower size but it still looks great on the desk, very good for watercooling. The Stacker 830 is a bit more expensive but it's a bit shorter in height, better choice if you don't need room for watercooling. It's actually better for air cooling since it has 4x 120mm fans (very quiet too) blowing from the side.

I love the 830, but i measured it and its way too big. I cant afford to have it on my desk, as great as it looks. I'll have to find another case to buy towards the end of the year.

For now, I'm ordering a 120mm fan and green neons to 'alien' my pc up a bit. Just to keep me going till i get a new case

What about this one.

antec 900 series

That does nothing, I can assure you.

The noisest fan in my computer is probably the smallest one. And no, that isn't by any means a boast. I really do that the lousest AGP controller fan ever. It's alright after a while, but when you start the machine up, it sort whines every 5 seconds, in a sort of descending tone. Imagine the noise a sheep would make if it were crying. It's kinda like that. Remarkably annoying.

$200+ for an aluminum box with some pretty gadgets? No thanks.

I have a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream which has 120mm fans front and rear and keeps everything nice and cool as well as quiet. It's got no windows and no bling, but since it's sitting right in my line of sight all the time, that's the way I like it.

just go for nitrogen cooling and then you will be able to brag about it

Make sure your coating the entire M/B with something non-conductive, cause the condensation is gunna kill it.

The best option, though a bit big in size:

Leaving the fridge door open isn't going to make anything colder...

I thought you were good at physics

No problem, i'm going to get one as well more my next pc.

[Cotterik]

the reviews are great and the cooling system looks fantastic. It really is what I need and its shorter than the other cases so i can still keep it on my desk. Thanks for pointing it out I'll be buying it next month probably.
