New Case Spec

[stormbreaker]

I am thinking about getting a new case as my current Coolermaster Elite 335 can get quite hot and noisy. I want the best system possible for air cooling and during the summer I may be getting an ATI 58** so it has to be big enough to hold one of these which I might crossfire later on. I also like the idea of having a window. Price is no object at the minute.

Is there also a guide of how to take all of your components out of your old case and into your new one.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Would you prefer a "bling case", ie lots of lights and garish colours, or perhaps something more subtle. Also, do you need a midi atx or full tower. Regarding moving to a new case, its just a matter of undoing lots of screws, an atx mobo will simply transfer across from one case to another atx case, psu, may fit in the top or bottom (depending on case). Then its just a matter of installing your other bits such as optical drives, fan controllers into the drive bays. A good example is the akasa eclipse 62 case, on this i was able to install the mobo, cpu, ram and a TRUE cpu cooler and video card outside of the case, thanks to the eclipse's removeable motherboard tray.

Antec 300 is a decnet case to upgrade to, affordable too! You can have 2 120mm fans for intake and it comes with one 120mm fan on the back for exhaust and one 140mm fan on the top for exhaust also.

Like setter said, it simply is a matter of unscrewing screws and screwing them back in when you have transferred the kit over to the next PC
