After much deliberation and after listening to advise given here and after reading loads of reviews I have finally decided on a case. I am going to go for the Cosmos 2 for a couple of reasons.* Firstly its huge and it looks as though (to me) it has the most user friendly cable management system. *I’m not too concerned about the ultimate airflow as I am not Coming anything I have apart from the processor, and to be honest its only over clocked a tad.
*
I will be moving to the US very soon and I have promised my son a desk computer.* So he will have my old case and components and once we are settled I want to install a water cooled setup.
*
So I have settled on the case, I just wanted to check with you guys what else I need.* I know the Cosmos 2 has space for some more fans.* I am looking to out at least one more in the roof if not 2.* What 120mm fans should I get?
*
I don’t have many braded cables and my PSU is not modular.* I have ordered some cable ties to I can make everything nice and neat.* Is there anything else I need?* Will I need any extension cables do you think?* The DVD and the X-FI front panel could end up a rather long way from power.* The X-FI front panel could also be a long way from the main PCI card.* Do you think I need extenders? If so what do you recommend?
*
I hate dust, my Antec 1200 gets loads inside.* When I undertake the transplant I will clean everything.* The Noctua cooler (see sig) needs a right going over.* So whilst on the subject of the cooler.* Is what I have still ok?* It’s been in the PC since 2009.* Temps are fine, just wondered if I should upgrade, if so what to?* Is there anything I can do to limit dust?
*
What about braiding for wires?* Do I need any of that and do OCUK sell it?* Or do I just use cable ties?
*
If anyone else has any other advice please let* me know. All my other case builds have been a disaster as I just get frustrated with the cable management.* I want to get it right this time.
