Re: New Case
well i think the intake fan is movable -
Re: New Case
They're both nice cases. Do you plan on having alot of HD's or CD/DVD drives? The second looks like it's built upside down. The PSU on the bottom and PCI slots up high. I like the 3 fans in the door though, plenty of airflow. I don't think you can go wrong with either, it's more a matter of asthetics. I doubt you'll have more than 2,3 or 4 HD's and 2 CD/DVD drives, so either will support you. Personally I'd probably take the first and add 2 fans to the clear door.Comment

Re: New Case
thats what i was thninking of the first because of the intake, but the second one, i can move the fan up or down, in my case ima have to move it up, and nothing in the way to block it, in the first one, id probably cut it so it can nothing blocking it, and put in my evercool fan in there at full speed when playing...and i already have two AeroCool fans, put one on the bottom sideComment

Re: New Case
I'd get this one
79 reviews all 5 stars. It can hold up to 8 fans, it has A lot of room, it has good air flow, its sturdy, and it doesnt come with a PSU. You dont want a stock psu.
Comes with 4 fans too I think.Comment

Re: New Case

Re: New Case
For the price of that second aerocool, you could get something like this:
It's more expensive, but note the free shipping compared to the 15.99 shipping on the aerocool, so after all the Thermaltake Tsunami is cheaper. It's all aluminum, and has nice blue LEDs on the front. It also has much better airflow because it has more 120mm fans (120mm fans are more silent, and prduce higher CFM). It also comes in silver, and also comes in an inferior model, the soprano: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133146
It's stell, and has plastic doors, so, it's heavier, and it's more flimsy, it also lacks the cool front door and the LEDs, but it's cheaper. This one is also pretty good:
Look at all the pics, it's pretty cool, and it has OK cooling. Here's another one:
It is silver and has a side window. It also has OK cooling, but it also has a dba meter at the front of the case. It shows how loud the comp is (but it would be better if it was a ambient temp. meter). I'm just showing yu ones that are probably better than the two listed, for about the same price.Comment

Re: New Case
koo thanks, i was also thinking of the Tsunami, i was thinking about it, but reason i was looking at those aerocool and maybe the tt armor, its because of the direct opening of the intake, from what ive had, anything behind the fan, drops the airflow alot, i had to cut from my front panel, hopeing it would help, it did just a little, and my total case temp raised over 40c one morning, and the sensor was under the sound card (bottom slot) so im sure it was hotter...poped off the front panel, and the temp dropped with in a few secondsComment
