Case for BFG GTS and Apex ultra +

mcgriffo · 2 Mar 2007 at 09:31

Could anyone spec me a case that'll house the apex ultra+ w/c system AND a BFG 8800GTS 640mb card? (I have heard these are pretty big)

Budget £300 max and aesthetics important but practicality too (ventialtion, space, features, light weight etc)

Wow..... out of all the cases I've been perusing THAT one was the one I was kind of edging towards - now you've suggested it maybe it's FATE I should get it
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone want to try and talk me out of it?

thanks for the offer but I was thinking of something a little less cuboid!

this should really be in the cooling forum I suppose, but it IS very related to the case....

If I were to get the Lian Li 2000b would I need to buy any extra fans if my main cooling comes from the Apex ultra+ ?

(totally novice at this stuff)

Mekrel, thanks a lot for that post.

Problem is the Apex+ is on its way (had to order during last week's "this week only" offer)

I'd decided in the end that I'd never built a PC before, let alone tried W/C, so I'd try and make it as stress-free as possible (if that IS possible considering its my first time at both).

I will keep your recommendations though, and once I've proven it actually WORKS, maybe think about upgrading one or two bits of that kit. I know the RAD and the CPU BLOCK are very common replacements but in the end I think I just wanted one box with the instructions inside!!!!!
