Decent Sized Case Needed To Fit A Silver Arrow

Big Kev · 15 Jun 2011 at 23:10

I've got my recent build now finished, but the Elite 430 only enabled me to install the Silver Arrow, with the top exhaust fans removed, plus it's right against the side panel and I also struggled with the cable management.

I don't want to spend a fortune on a replacement, but want a case that will fit the SA and top exhaust fans, without getting near the side panel. Decent cable management, plus a cpu retention hole, which I think is pretty standard nowadays and quiet.

I quite like Coolermaster and still have a couple of very old 201's lurking around and I was looking at the CM-690 II Lite Dominator or HAF 912 Plus and I presume these both fit the bill, but any suggestions for around that price would be most welcome.

Cheers peeps.

I would get the HAF 912. Can you stretch to a HAF X?

I won't stretch that far mate, £60ish is my limit.

One of the HAF series will do the job. On phone ATM so getting a link is a pain! Sorry

the CM690 II should fit it as shown in this vid here

the top fans in the 690 can be attached between the mesh on the top of the case and the frame

and you save 1p!

Ordered the HAF 912, which will be with me tomorrow, then once it's all transferred over, my build is complete and no more swapping cases/coolers.

Cheers chaps.
