Have a thread on general hardware about a new rig I am building (Core 2 Duo extreme, 7950GX2) and am trying to decide on which case.
I had an Eclipse 62 before with sidepanel/fan and know how well it cools but prefer the look of the LianLi 101. Whichever case I get it will be getting 2 quiet Scythe 1200rpm fans.
Just wondering if the 120mm fan that cools the gpu area on the lian li is quiet, adjustable or even replacable ?
Also, as the top fan pulls air in to cool the cpu, I assume it would be a good idea to turn the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro around so it is blowing into the case and not out ?
Finally, it doesn't look like the front fan gives much ariflow to the hard drives over the door and small slits on the side ? (according to SPCR as well)
Are there any better options out there. Budget it not a concern.
Ultimately I plan to run a G80 and possibly 2 if the Nforce 590 or whatever it is called comes out. Will also be running a Creative soundcard, TV Tuner card, a couple of Seagate 7200.10's and 2 opticals. Nothing too major.
Oh...will the Lian Li accomodate the longish Enermax Galaxy. Looks like the Akasa will.
thanks
