I've had my Wavemaster for almost 3 years and in my opinion it's one of the sexiest cases ever made. I think the build quality is very good and the looks are a statement.
Unfortunately it's now becoming a huge barrier to my Overclocking. I've changed all stock fans, placed fans all around the case testing for better temps and to put it bluntly, it just can't cool!
I took the side panel off and the temps I were getting were as follows:
Idle: 32
Under Load: 46
With Side Panel on:
Idle:41
Load: 56
That's a staggering 10 degrees difference!
I've been looking at the Silverstone range and many other cases, I just can't find the 'one'. I like the looks of TJ07 but it's price is rather high for something without a sidepanel.
My requirements are firstly, the case must look very nice, secondly with quiet fans the cooling must be brilliant. I'm willing to spend more on replacing stock fans but that's as far as I'll go.
My budget is upto £160 mark, it should have an available windowed side panel or a plain side panel should be available so I can make my own. It must fit the following scheme (Black Case again?):
People of OcUK, show me what you can come up with
