I just built my first pc and now want to finish it off with a nice case.

I have an E6320 which i will be overclocking to around 2.6 ghz with a NH-U12F.

and my mobo is DS3R just need to know if that will all fit as i know there is different case sizes also i got a Corsair HX 520W Psu.

And will i have good temps with that case (Antec 900 Ultimate Gaming Case) and cooling when OCed?

Thanks in advance!

that and antec 900 are a bit of an oxymoron, you would be FAR FAR FAR better of with a similar priced lian li, or if you can stretch to it; an akasa eclipse.

the Tt's can be ok, although not the best cases out there i'd still prefer one to a 900, or even try an alternate antec model, the p180/2's look nice, are quite quiet and cool well, or there is the sonata II or III, i can vouch for the II model, it was a beautiful steel case.

hope some of that helps

Nicely said... :cool:
 
Horses for courses . . . I like the 900. I dont like some of the 'plain' cases that are out there. Of course, id like a Mozart, but dont have enough room on the floor . . .

Would do the job?

apparently worse quality than the soprano.
i bought the soprano, it was ok, kept everything quite cool, but the front is cheap plastic, they have done a remake with a much nicer alu froont bezel/door, id have a look at that, soprano dx or something like that.

but i'd look more at lian li if i were you ;)
 
Ok but all the lian li dont look very nice until u start spending big.


so i just ask if Thermaltake VA3000BWA would be ok even if it has cheap plastic on the front?

the black looks alright, i had the silver, which just looked too cheap.

ALL lian li cases are quality, even their budget ones ;)

Ok i found that Soprano DX so im thinking that? or the VA3000BWA.

Would what u choose and u cant say a lian li ;]!

soprano DX, its the most up to date one, so 'should' have better *features*.

got msn? i can point you in the direction of a video review (cant link as site promotes competitors albeit in the U.S. please correct me if this is ok)
