Please suggest me a case

There are also other things to consider with noise, the CPU heatsink and fan, the gpu etc.

Yup and my GPUs cause a lot of it. My case has 5 120mm fans in t - even though they're noctuas it's still quite loud. I've got a corsair H60 coming in the post so hopefully that will be pretty quiet too :)

well the GTX260 fans spin up automatically when they get hot, The ATCS840 comes with a large box you can fit a 120mm fan too that fits over the rear expansion slots to suck air out and help cool the cards hot exhausts.

There was very little difference between them cooling wise based on all the reviews I read, so I didn't see the point spending the extra.

Not sure if that's something in the GPU's BIOS (or equivalent of), but I use EVGA Precision (same kind of thing as MSI Afterburner) and I just manually control the fans depending on the game. For example in Mass Effect I just leave them both at 45%. I have them jsut boot up to 40%. They 65nm idles at about 55C with the 55nm one at about 50C.

Stulid take it you didnt get it from that place I told you about as your getting silver one?

Opps nm saw your post above hehe I should really read all post before commenting lol. Are you using a bottom fan in the 840 if so how you managing with the psu filter I had mine modded so the filter comes out the back.

they only had black;) but persistence paid off:)

I dont use a bottom fan, I find the stock cooling is more than enough.
 
Yes but cant say name of place if you find the model number from the CM site and google im sure a uk supplier will pop up. I got mine in the UK think it was about £28 in total only ones ive seen in the uk and the CM parts shop are the black panels.

Its a easy enough mod to do m8 mine is based on a utube vid I saw of the mod. TBH im not sure how effect it is though cleaned my filters other day and there was no dust on the psu filter will have to check the psu out to see if there is any dust in it.
 
£39 for silver from coolermaster factory, I bet some dutchy is shaping Aluminum for me as we speak, i would rather not bodge my £150 case with a hacksaw/jigsaw, but rather get it made direct at the factory with precision laser cutting etc.
 
LOL stulid worth it though m8 shame they make the window so long though sticks out of the drive bay thats my only gripe. Thats why I bought pre made too but you always have the original panel as back up if you get bored of the window.
 
Most window mods i see use a window rubber to hold it in place, this looks **** in my opinion, a genuine panel will have the window secured with quality fittings.

Well had a HAF 932 before had a window mod put into it but had the window mounted outside using M3 hex bots and nuts on the back looked dam good just like you have in the pic above. I agree with the window rubber I dont like it either but each to their own.

lots of people have been saying the same thing i thought the h70 having an extra fan would have made a huge difference to the others but its only just a bit better than the others
 
Just out of curiousity, what class of case is the P180? Is that full tower too? it measures about 50x50x20 so is a bit smaller than the 840 etc.
 
Cool cheers, and I thought the P180 was big! As bigger as it'll be I'm still going to get afull tower. Sick of hot spots and lack of space in it.
