case - I have NO idea!!!!

[Stelly]

Hi People.... I have been talking to Yewen and I have still got on idea what case to get.... don't get my wrong Yewen is great a fountian on knowledge when it comes to all things cases and a great bloke as well but I need everyones opinion on what I should get...

Ok well first off I will be putting in the case a 120.2 rad, I dont want it stuck outside the case... but I also need all of my PCI slots as well... which is going to be interesting... the spec of my system is going to be;

Conroe Extreme
Intel Bad Axe
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB)
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
2 x Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB WD360GD 10,000RPM SATA 8MB
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB
Custom Water Cooling System (CPU and GPU)
4 x Case Fans
1 x DVDRW
1 x DVDROM
1 x Digital TV Card
1 x Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply

I'm really looking at putting the 120.2 at the top of the case and then put vents over the holes...

I was thinking either;

Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case
Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS Black Aluminium Full-Tower

I dont suppose that anyone has any reviews for the Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS?? or any other cases that they could suggest, or have pics of a set up with a 120.2 rad inside the case??

Thanks for all your help in advance

Have you looked at the Koolance systems that are based on the V2000?

Maybe not as much fun as building your own, but they are very neat.

Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS Black Aluminium Full-Tower would get my vote.

Lian Li G70, it does fit all your needs.

eugh lian li's... honestly
Have a look at the gigabyte 3D aurora... cant go far wrong with that case and a double 120mm Rad which will fit straight on the back, with no mods they even have the hols cut for 3/4OD tubing

I use the ASUS vento 3600 and i really like it as a case. Lot of reviews slated it but i cant see how. Lots of room to work with and good cooling, and in my opinion looks very nice.

BTW Raikiri very nice samsung, i will get my 26" one very soon

 

[Raikiri]

Just don't let the lovely Samsung see the Vento... it will break like a mirror (mine is 26inch btw)

RB, Lian Li > Gigabyte although it is a pretty good case

I'd say the Gigabyte Aurura would be ideal with the dual back fans
