Full Tower Case on Air recommendations

[WU-TANG]GZA · 22 May 2011 at 16:29

Hey guys,

What's the best tower for running on air? Spec in signature

I wanted the 800D but I believe it's not brilliant on air but great on water.

I would get the Antec 1200 but again I hear they're just not great anymore?

Maybe a LianLi?

Open to suggestions.....budget maybe up to £200?

Preferrably not fugly.....

Thnx

Wu

EDIT: would like HDDs to be as easily removable as possible too maybe...

Cooler Master HAF cases (stands for high air flow so I imagine they'd be good lol)

I had the 800d on air and never had any issues with temps on my system, only went to water avian as I had the pump and rad spare from my previous build.

I have been doing some research on Cases lately as I would also like a new
case I currently have the CM 690 Nvidia Edition, and while its a nice case a
change is as good as the rest and I was thinking of getting the "HAF X" is
the case as good as all the reviews say it is ?

+1 for HAF X
had many cases from various companies,and HAF X really good,maybe not the best looking (everybodies personal opinion)but i really like it and its pleasure to work with,lots of space,solid thing, wouldn't change to any other atm

That's midi tower not full tower.

Thanks for the suggestions....

Might go for an 800D.

any LianLi users about with thoughts?

Antec 1200. Lian Li Aluminium cases (expensive). My PC-A71b is OK. Lacks side and top fans, so not the best, but super light and decent temps. Developped a rattle.

Antec 1200 is plastic and loud.

Antec P193 is fantastic. Well built, good thermals, very quiet, easy to work in, subtle design. Pictures of it online don't look great, but in reality it looks sleek - the pics don't do it justice.

How is the haf on water?

Got a Lian Li A70F here, very well built case with good air cooling. Hdd's are very easy to install/remove, as is pretty much any component as most parts are installed with thumb screws or clip/clamp systems.
