Hi All,
Ok so Im building a new rig and there are a myriad of cases out there with various and amazing features. Finding one with everything Id like seems to be impossible though especially when im looking for asthetics aswell. First things first you'll need to know what ill be running.
Core i5 2500k
MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
Corsair H70/H80 cpu cooler.
MSI GTX560 (Twin Frozer II)
64gb SSD sata 2/3
2 x 1TB sata 2/3 HDD
700w PSU
1X DVD Re-writer
1X Blu-ray writer (possibly)
Fan controller (got questions on this but thats for another thread)
Ok so now lets get down to it. I'll give you a list of somethings I like about certain cases and what I could do without on certain cases and see if you knowledgable lot can recommend a good case (some of these are copied from the case of the month thread or whateva it is sorry if this breaks some rule)
http://server5.uploadit.org/files/HomZ11-pic2.JPG <-- I like the big side window (except that curve on top right) and those two blue bars down the sides.
http://img151.exs.cx/img151/2396/picture0429ls.jpg <-- again big side panel and black glossy finish (might be matt finish I couldnt quite tell, but prefer glossy).
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/Stellios/DCP02847.jpg <--- ok not really case related but i love the tri colour fans reminds me of original war of the worlds aliens eyes.
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4751/wholecase1lm2.jpg <---- love the big side panel and the big roof fan not so keen on the roof angling.
http://ulticomputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/corsair_obsidian_800d_case.jpg <--- like the side window (although would like more if bigger). Like the gromets for cable managment. Like the front loading swappable bays (wont use much but like) like the rear opening backplate for easy access of rear of motherboard and cpu. Like the big metal divider at bottom, and the easily removable dust cover thingeys.
Now you might ask why if i like so much of the corsair obsidian 800d dont I buy that. Well because the window isnt big enough the front isnt quite... Jazzy... (awful word) enough. Also its damn expensive. I do like the exterior look of the NZXT Phantom but no metal divider and If i modded one (just FYI not a modder) it would sit almost flush against the PSU. Swappable bays are side mounted not front and has a side mesh for a fan but no window.
Please help me find a case with everything I want.... or am I dreaming?
Thanks
