Help - What case is ideal for this?

[blackmafioso]

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

OcUK Value IP35 Pro Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

I also need room for two 3.5" hard drives.

Any help is much appreciated.

any case..........

more importantly... what graphics card are you going to be using?

 

[blackmafioso]

8600

nearly any case will do just avoid mini-atx cases and you will be fine!

whats your budget mate for the case

cheap = akasa zen black

mid range = lian li pc7 or antec 900

>£100 coolermaster cosmos, antec p182(under £100)

something along those lines i would think

As above, any case will do, especially with the short graphics card and stock CPU heatsink. Dan's above commendations are spot on, though I rate the P182 as the best of the mid range cases and populate the upper range with the Akasa Eclipse 62 (on the low side of high end) and the Lian-Li V series.

You wouldn't go wrong with a PC-7 or a P182.

I've just ordered the NZXT Hush Classic Series Silent Computer Chassis, I hope that that was a good choice.

It's a little "meh," so to speak. It's not as good as the PC-7 but it'll do the job just fine. If the look suits you then you've done well.
