Antec v Akasa

Pilgrim57 · 26 Jul 2007 at 20:23

I'm considering the Antec 180/182 for the external fan control, water cooling grommets for future use. Will the PSU @ the bottom help with temps on an Intel system?
Or should I go for a Eclipse or mirage? How are the for water cooling? Does the 2 fans cool the akasa's enough?
What would be best for an 8800 GTS 320?
My PSU is an Enermax Liberty 620w.

Thanks

Go for personal looks

Personally i think there's a big difference the eclipse is big wide
has great cooling ease of use good looks subject to taste
the p182 imho is cramped has design flaws such as psu at the bottom meaning awkward psu lead shenanigans especially if you want sli.
every case feels cramped after using an eclipse.

i recently got a mirage case and was impressed by the amount of room to play about inside. Akasa for the win

The concern was are the leads on my Enermax liberty long enough for the bottom sited PSU.
I know the Akasa's have a big following - I like the wide aspect as it should accomodated a Tuniq tower OK.

Thanks for the feedback,guys.
