New Case!

Swordfish125 · 17 Oct 2008 at 21:33

Building a new system, need a case with Plenty of room for the biggest GFX cards (gtx280), looking to run crossfire atm, looking at these:

Akasa AKBKINF

Antec 900

Really like the look of the Antec, wondering if its got enough room for the 2 of the newest GFX cards.

Why not take a look at the Nzxt Tempest, better than the antec and cheaper as well.

You mean run SLi?

Antec NineHundred is the very antithesis of spacious. Its cramped basically.

Look at the Antec P182, the Akasa Omega or the Lian Li A17 for some awesome cases.

no im gonna run crossfire, mention the nvidia cards cause they friggin huge, Nzxt looks nice, not on OC though, cant see that lian li case, and the p182 is a bit too expensive, ive got around £70 really.

Ive used many different cases and alwayslike the tempest the best as so much room to work in , good cable management and a really decent price.

How noisy is it? Ive seen it "around" and it looks very very nice and come with all the fans too..

Coolermaster 690 then.

Or Antec 300.

the akasa is a brilliant case, removable mobo tray, AND tool less drives.

also when you want dual nvidia cards, you will be using SLI, btu dual ATI cards use crossfire

the nzxt is so crap they use the same material as the £15 cases utter crap

Yes but it comes with all 6 fans steel chasis etc it may have a plasticy crappy outer but it's £50-£60 cant be too bad ?
