I`ve decided i`ve had enough of my vapochill XEII and been looking at the Antec P182 case and the Noctua NH-U12F heatsink,can anyone recommend anything better.

noctua is good, that or the tuniq tower

antec cases are so...meh, id suggest either the lian li pc g50/A05 (you can mod the pc g50 into an A05 with little/no trouble) or the akasa eclipse

im sure the later is what most will recommend

A 05 looks awesome, but you'll be lucky to find it in stock, the three main english websites i can think of either dont sell it or have no stock

Im after the A05 too at the moment. OCUK had one in stock last week, so ive emailed asking when theyre expecting a delivery. Will post back with detail of when its due in

Haven't used the noctua or the tuniq, though I would go for the noctua due to the sounds levels, plus with the tuniq the fan is inside which is off putting to me (can't replace it, and it it breaks you've lost the whole thing).

what`s the A05 like for cable management?

dave24 · 14 Jun 2007 at 22:24

decided to buy the Akasa Eclipse 62,(after reading way too many reviews) with the Noctua NH-U12F heatsink.
