Hi guys,
I'm hoping for a bit of advice from experienced rig-builders on what case to go for on my new build, see below.
Product Name Qty Price Line Total
BFG nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £149.99
(£176.24) £149.99
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £173.99
(£204.44) £173.99
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM £51.99
(£61.09) £51.99
Tagan TG700-U25 700W ATX2.0 Dual Engine Silent SLi Compliant Silent PSU £94.99
(£111.61) £94.99
Samsung SH-182MRSMN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Beige,Black,Silver) - Retail £18.99
(£22.31) £18.99
Pioneer DVR-111BK 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM £18.99
(£22.31) £18.99
Sony Floppy Drive - Black £4.99
(£5.86) £4.99
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) £109.99
(£129.24) £109.99
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £224.99
(£264.36) £224.99
I'm pretty sure from what I've read that the P180 will be plenty big enough for all this hardware and form factors shouldn't be an issue in regards to being able to use the wealth of connections on the BFG Mainboard, but the Wave Master is so sexy looking but is a very old case now, does it still do the job with new motherboard in allowing accessing to all connections and will it be big enough to contain all that hardware above? Also will cooling be an issue with a smaller case such as the wave master?
Any advice from owners of each case would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
