£50-£80 quiet cool overclocking case needed!

salami1212 · 12 Mar 2006 at 11:51

Well, I will be getting an amd 3800+ x2, and other things and I will be overclocking. The case will need to be very good quality etc and have great cooling. It also needs to be quiet. It doesnt have to have fans but if they do they will need to be quiet. Cheers

Antec P150.

Sell the PSU, you have a great case for £40-50.

Or theres the Lian Li PC7+, but it has not got great soundproofing or hardrive suspension at stock.

Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Black or silver Aluminium
Price: £48.95 (£57.52 Including VAT at 17.5%)

noni. the p150 is ugly!

sorry

Noni · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:07

salami are you freaking blind????

Lol jus jokin, check out a review first before you knock it.

quadboi · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:15

Yes the P150 is a great case for your price range...

salami1212 · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:25

i have a hyper black psu so i dont really want to sell it as its got great cable management. The case I want has to look quite good. The lian li is a bit bland isnt it?

edit: chapparal. have a check at your sig. Youve spelt dual wrong

Noni · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:29

salami sell the psu that comes in the Antec case.

salami1212 · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:42

I'd get the PC7+ over these cases any day

Yewen · 12 Mar 2006 at 17:18

The PC7+ is by far the best case mentioned here by a huge margin, just search for the p150 and the issues people have been having with it.

The PC7+ has nothing to break off mate, its all aluminium bar a strip of plastic, its a cracking well built case which punches well above its weight.

I can give you a whole load of people who have bought this case by recommendation and have not been able to fault it, blow any case mentioned here apart for build quality and cooling.

just received a silver PC7+ from OcUK this morning and mine has 2x120mm fans.

just like to say thanks to everyone who raves about this case.
that's what swayed me, and my god am i glad i did, this thing is gorgeous, for the money.

can't wait to get it kitted out with my new rig this weekend.

And the review chaparral gave in the 3rd post has some very useful info and some great pics

Just dig deeper into them pockets of yours and get the v1000+ in black on this week only offers.

Yewen · 12 Mar 2006 at 18:23

You can always dig deeper into your pockets.

The PC7+ is a fine case, and much better value for money.

Yewen

Which case out the v1000+ and pc7+ would you say would run cooler and quieter for a sli setup..

In other words..which one would be more suitable.
