New Case

ZedPowered · 16 Jun 2008 at 23:39

Hi all,

Am currently using a Antec 900 but its a mess, cable management is aweful. Have around £120 to spend on a new case and need some ideas.

Has to be spactious and fit a Tuniq Tower 120, not fussed about LED;s, the 900 drives me mad with them.

Was looking at the P182, looks good and should keep my case cool (only using intake and exhaust fans atm as everything is passive.

Would the P182 be the best case. or somethjing like a Lian Li?

TIA

Ive just been looking at cases myself and the p182 was the one that grabbed my eye. Very sleek and very nice.

I currently own an Akasa Eclipse. Fantastic case, pretty nice looking, great to work with. You should also give it consideration. Only thing to note is the front section is plastic.

Looking at that for my next case tbh

the akasa eclipse and mirage are meant to be quite good

Antec 1200, has cable management holes so everything can go behind the mobo tray plenty of room. very good cooling, 200mm blow hole will be very good for passive cooling.

I was giving the 182 some thought until i saw a reviewer struggling to get his psu into it without fouling the fan in the middle of the bottom section. Good case but its quite small.

have decided to stick with the 900, bought a commando on a well known auction site that was faulty (but in warrenty) so have returned it to asus for repair. gonna sell my amd rig and get a q6800 when they hit the market and just chop up the 900 to make the airflow better.

for the antec 900. you could always have a little project. make some cable management holes where needed. replace the fans with yate loons or similar, and get a solid side panel (from antec). if your happy with the 900 .
