I have a bitfenix case which is probably the best case I've had so far, however there are only so many wires I can put around the back and it doesn't leave much room from the edge of a fan to the hard drives. Bit cluttered

What's the best case for cable management and has side fans? :cool:
 
The corsair air 540 is very good for cable management due to its split chamber design. No hdd cages at the front to obstruct airflow. Which will help with xfire/sli, but no side fan unless you mod the panel.

Erm, WOW :eek: Thanks Setter
 
Its a case i looked at myself as i quite often end up going sli, and this looked ideal. However i then noticed the case i have now. Though as i mentioned in another thread, i could do with a side fan too. But i might just order another side panel to keep one spare then mod this current one. Playing bf4 tonight and my cards are hitting 78 and 58c on a pretty aggressive fan profile.
 
I love my 540, yes the cable management is very good and airflow is fantastic. I can run my rig (see sig) passive-no fans at all for web browsing etc... I like setter, very nearly went for the Enthoo but the 540 came up at a price I couldn't justify the extra for the Enthoo...

You can lead a horse to water, but you cant force it to drink.:D

Should be a nice upgrade from your current case, which looks a bit restricted for front air intake.:)
 
I LOVE THIS CASE!!

15C drop on my GPU
7C drop on my CPU in Linx

However, I did replace the two naff front fans with one Corsair and two antec fans, you can really feel the different in air flow. Next up, I'm going to put a fan at the bottom of the case and one at the top. I put my SSD's out the back and took out the extensions. Will do pics this weekend :)
 
Very nice, it's built with professionalism in mind!

However I did not like the plastic back trays for SSD's felt cheep and look easy enough to break. Oh and replace those front fans to three corsair or antec or anything that actually pushes air 120mm. Very happy with it and well worth the price

Three 120's are pushing more than two 140mm's that's for damn sure
 
Oh and that side panel, I'm scared to put a finger on it, it's hmmm nice

Will get proper photo's this weekend :)
 
One thing it has now developed is a fan case rattle noise, like you get when something isn't tightened down properly... hmm touching the case and it disappears :(



 
Possible panel rattle, get this on my enthoo primo's window panel if the screws arent tight enough.

Fixed it, turned out to be one of the screws into bracket with hold a lower end PCI slot. Didn't even use that bracket for anything so must've come loose during manufacturing. All fixed now though, just had to test every screw that was attached to the case :o:(:D. Couldn't believe how much a case actually holds in sound
