Well, I'm going to go down the C2D road in the spring. My current rig still holds good resale value, so I'd like to switch while I can still claw back some $$$ cost.
I got away with installing my GTX in my trusty old Chieftek Apollo case, as it has no drive bay in the bottom, and my Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D has a 2nd PCI-x slot lower down on the mobo
I won't be so lucky with a new single PCI-x slot mobo. I might just order in a new case before xmas in prep, as I've some spare cash knocking around.
I will always be overclocking, and I'd like something quality, light, easy to work with, plenty of cooling, and not tacky, stylish even. It must fit a GTX. I'd also love USB and Audio in/out ports on the top or front. Removable mobo tray would be nice, unless there's plenty of space to work with. I'm not too keen on getting a fullsize tower - I don't need the drive bays. This should be a quality investment for the future.
I'm looking at Lian-Li, Alaska Eclipse or maybe an Antec 900? The NZXT Zero looks nice too, anyone have one of these? Friendly advice or suggestions would be really appreciated. No flaming please
Merry Christmas all
