NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case

is it a good case and worth the money i love the look of it will all my stuff fit in it ok
 
ok ill take your word on that cos i have no idea what you mean :p

btw also ive loked about everyone seems to like the raven cases
i like the white one ew2 but there out of stock any ideas if i can order one ?
 
i just figured you guys had been here a while and are familier with the ocuk way of doing things thats i didnt expect a oh ye it wil be 3 days

all i wanted to know is do they then order it and it will be in soon or is it you get it when it comes in stck next kind of deal

i can get the case other places but ive allways used ocuk for all my bits so just wanted to keep it that way

so chill winstan :) i dont expect great things from you hehe its nps ill ring them tomoz
 
i want the ssd caching what are the other 2 things are they hard to explain if they are ill look them up and read if not can you tell me what they do ?

thanks again guys a esp stulid for al lthe help just want to make sure i get what i want before i ***** my hard earned cash again :p
 
ye i see that but id pay an extra £15 just for the extra 1 year warrenty
ok the cooler i picked actually works better than the silver arrow

the Noctua NH-D14 works a lot lot better under heavey load than the silver arrow does so ill stick to that i think but thanks anyways

sorce http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/thermalright_silver_arrow_vs_noctua_nh-d14/2

just incase you wanted to know where i got info from

and i think ill stick to the ram i got as it seem very recommended and is cheap

is it worth spending £50 pound for for this gfx card stulid

thanks once again
 
i think the diffrence betwean the 3 card is not going to be noticeable so will just stick to the normal 560


if the diffrence was noticeable then i would 100% spend more cos i dotn really want to touch this rig for atleast over year before i want to upgrade
