Considering 800D

Robert · 9 Sep 2010 at 08:16

Well I'm getting bored on my Silverstone TJ10BW and to be fair cable management isn't easy in it.

I'm seriously considering jumping to an 800D nearer to Christmas time, however I just wanted to see if there's anything on the horizon that could trump it?

Save money and get 700d if you don't need hot swap or side window

I'm considering moving from my Coolermaster RC-1000 to this case as the cable management would be 100x easier. Tough call about whether I think it's worth the £40 loss. Besides, I'd like a side window and both cases don't have it

I would only change to an 800D if i was either watercooling or thinking about it (I was using aircooling with mine) just remember it was designed with watercooling in mind.I changed my 800D to a Lian-Li PC-P50R & the cooling is way better than the 800D & i also changed all the fans on my 800D as the one's the come with the case are poor to say the least.

Where you can pull the hard drives out without opening the case. There's a door in the front of the 800D for this, on the 700D it's gone.

If you don't want a case that's as big. You could opt for the 600t which OcUK will be getting in stock towards the end of october I think.

Same cable management as the 800D but not full tower. Watercooling capacity too, think you can fit a triple in the top.

Bit cheaper too

you can fit a double rad in the top, but air flow looks very good in this case and should be silent with the 200mm fans
