well, heres my problem its going to cost too much to put my armor right in terms of cooling and spending like £150 just to sort out air flow is a shocking amount and I might as well buy water cooling for that.

so new case time....and CPU cooler (however I got that covered) I can sell my old stuff so I m not too fused.

my candidates
the chieftec

Antec 902

also I will look at the antec 300 if it suits, think I may land up putting a side window on :p

now do you see my problem ? :p I can't choose specs are in my sig so the case needs to be big for two dual slot cards but not too big and have quite a lot of air flow, also i have quite a lot of optical drives 2 and a card reader that takes a 5 and a half inch slot up.

wow that is cheap :eek: would like to see inside through but nothing which a metal saw and a a bit of sanding can't fix to sort that out and perspex.
 
It's a wonderfull case for the money. I've installed it for quite a few customers now. I has 2 adjustable 12cm fans at rear and you can have a couple on the front too.. It is quite soild too.
 
would it take, a titan CPU cooler? with side panal on with a fan on the side?....thats why the antec 900 is not in there cos I know it won't :P is calbe manament easy particly if I decide to put a saw through it for a side window...and sand the edges down

I will edit that

*edit* oh yeah I have a lot of 5 1/2inch drives in my armor and its full almost I just rembered to add that

I would say +1 for the Silverstone Fortress, but if you are considering the much cheaper Antec 300 too then have a look here as I did a 5min mod for cable tidying to my old one which worked quite well.
 
well thanks everyone, now the next part is to decide and get rid of my armor some how :confused:

I have narrowed it down a little bit, I think that for a system with two graphics cards and a huge cooler(titan) I think the antec 300 will be a struggle to fit everything in. So I m affreid that is now out for this computer at least, might use it for a few builds for people in the feature. the chieftec is also out.

so what is left ?

well Silver strone is in still of course ;) but I m not wanting to pay that much :eek: althrough I may strecte that far
the coolermaster cases are in particauly the HAF 932, like that case a lot

and the bigger antecs are in still just need someone with one to say what cable managment and cooling is like and can it take a BIGG cooler
