New Case

J.T · 13 Jan 2006 at 09:06

Hi all,

I am building my self a new PC and am looking at getting the Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case for it as I want a case that is low noise and good cooling but I am not into flashy looking cases.

Anyone out their got this case and can comment on what it's like?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Thanks, I will check it out.

Just been through that thread, I am slightly put off by the weight issue as I will be taking it to Lan events now and then.

I am looking at the Antec P150 Quiet PC Case now instead, although i dont know if it will be any lighter.

Thanks again for the help

The PC7 is a nice looking case, but I am after something that is as sliant as possible with good cooling.

Reason being my PC is in the front room at home and my better half hates the sound of the PC when she is wathing the Tele :rolleyes:

Cool, thanks for bringing me up to speed mate

In that case (no pun intended) I may consider it.

Yes, that was the case I hade my heart set on in the first place, then I made the mistake of showing them to my better half and she said something along the lines of "you not getting a black case!"......oh well

Also I just brought a Samsung 960BF TFT which is White/Silver (ish) so i guess it would look better over all to have a light coloured (white or silver) case.

Good point, I better get making my mind up then.

I will not be going with Micro-ATX, I already have a Shuttle system which I am keeping as well so no need for another small PC.

I wont be getting the Case for a while yet as I am waiting for the new ATI 1900 range of Graphics cards to come out as I may get two of them.

Will be looknig to completing the new PC by the middile of Feb.

I may just get one graphics card at first, the point is I have in my budget enough cash for two and I thought well why the hell not, at least they will last longer.

I dont think you meant Cheaper.

Upgrading to the latest anything on computers is never cheap.

J.T · 13 Jan 2006 at 21:25

I would love to be able to do that but their is no way I could afford to fork out between £300 and £600 every 6 months just to keep up with the latest tech.

Wish I could though

J.T · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:21

Ah ha, see what you mean, I am going to wait for the 1900's to come out and them most likley just get a single 1900xtx.

Sound good?
