New Case

ishamy · 25 Oct 2006 at 11:30

Hi all thinking of getting a new case for my system, at the moment i have a Black Sunbeam Samurai, I have seen this case (NZXT Lexa Classic Series Ultra light Aluminum Midtower) on OC and wondering what like this case is, I also need to know the width and depth of this case if anyone has one? also for similar cases that you may advise I would also need to know this information for my desk has limited room. My preference would be a black case to go with the rest of my external items, and also with a side window. (edit: my budget would be same as case mentioned £85, or less)

Thanks

Most cases will be compatible will your E6600.

Check out-

But your best choice is-

sorry don't think i explained that last sentence to well, was wondering if the in-built water cooling with the thermaltake is compatible with the e6600 conroe

cheers

Well you would not want that mate. Its too much hassle to go for it. The watercooling is kind of crap and theres only 2 ways to go watercooling-

Zalman Resorators or passive

or

Custom quality setup.

The thermaltake kits just aint worth it. Go for a quality heatsink like a Scythe ninja or a Tuniq tower.
