Hi there

I am looking to put together a system utilising the Antec cube case and a socket 775 mobo (probably the Abit Fatal1ty as it means I dont need a video card and allows overclocking of a core 2 duo). Ive seen some reviews and pics and its really difficult to tell what the biggest and most efficient cpu cooler the case would allow. Ive seen mention of the Zalman low profile cpu cooler but it looks quite wide. Can anyone help?

Or is there a better micro atx case out there?

Thanks very much

Ben

You mean the NSK1300? I'd suggest not getting it: the PSU is a proprietary design that cannot be replaced, the aiflow is poor, and it's quite noisy. Better cases would be the Silverstone Sugo or Antec Fusion/NSK2400.

If you're set on the Aria, then the Zalman CNPS7000 or 8000 are probably the best coolers to fit inside. If you get a Sugo or NSK2400 then you can fit slightly bigger heatsinks in, such as the Silverstone NT06Lite. :)
 
Thanks for the info. Thats the impression im getting when reading reviews. The Silverstone case looks really nice - i hadnt spotted that one.

Thanks again
