Been reading through a lot of the posts here and reviews elsewhere. I had been sold on the Antec P180 until I found out that the maximum height could not be more than 19.7". I am looking for a case under $120 that has these features, in order of priority:
Other Important Stuff:
Cases I Do Not Like:
Rosewill R6AS5
Thermaltake Matrix
Cases I Do Like:
Antec P180
NZXT Zero
GIGABYTE 3D AURORA
AeroCool Coolview
iStarUSA Nitro AX S-10000S
I know Lian Li's are good but they are a little pricey for me. However, how is the cooling for the PC-7B Plus 2?
If you need more info, let me know...
- 1a. Cooling - The ambient room temp in summer can get as high as 35 C. I will be running a C2D E6600 with a Tuniq Tower 120 or the Thermalright Ultra 120. I will run a Radeon X1950 Pro in Crossfire or a single DX10 card. I will try to OC to the CPU to about 3.2 GHz and the memory will not be OC'ed. The video card might be. You can see how important cooling is...
- 1b. Noise - Would like it to make as little noise as possible. Doesn't have to be completely silent
- 3. Looks - Would love one with a window so I can have LEDs (Antec Nine Hundred looks very nice). See list below for cases I like and cases I don't.
Other Important Stuff:
- Weight of case will not be an issue, as its just going to sit in one location.
- At the MOST, I will need space for only 3 internal HDs and two 5.25" drives. No floppy drive, card reader, etc. All else would be waste.
