coolest case

what case has the best air flow, ive been looking at the antec 900 and the TT armour. both of them seem that they will stir up a lot of dust and clog up my system without the use of filters but to use filters on either of the cases would be a sin and ruin the appearance.

Probably the Akasa eclipse. Great airflow! Should've got one myself but got sucked in by all the hype surrounding the Antec P180 and got one of those instead! Doh!

If you can stand the looks though it's one of the best and is a fairly reasonable price!

the Akasa Eclipse is amazing, and has a load of modding options for those that arent satisfied with the already excelent airflow.

I was going to get a fan side panel..... but my nice new HIS X1950Pro just looks so sweet with the UV reactive cooler...... im tempted to get some UV kit and a window...... anyone know how easy the plex window is to mod with fans? Be nice to have my cake and eat it!

im now thinking about going for a full size ATX Server case and just modding that and stuffing as many fans in as i can, should be good fun if nothing else. any comments on that idea?

something like this:

i have 1 comment lots of fans can be just as bad as having no fans at all in terms of airflow! the akasa eclipse only has 2 stock fan positions, but matching up two even airflow fans is where the excellent temps come from!

i had thought about 4 fans along the bottom of the side blowing in, 4 fans along the top exhausting, 1 behind the cpu blowing in, all 120mm with filters. that way the air flow would be in 1 direction... yey, ney?

it would be sprayed black, perspex window and some CC's for the chavtastic look! so down worry about its appearance :cool:
