Yep, time for one of these again.
Basically, Crossfire is loud. And my case (CM Centurion 5) doesn't get rid of the loud. I'd like a case that does.
At first I was really into the Define R3 because of its price and looks, but after some digging and pondering I've come to the conclusion that A) People seem to agree that it's flimsier and less sturdy, and B) The mounting of the drive racks would likely kill cooling for my graphics cards.
My plan with a P183 would be to take the top drive rack out to clear the fan, giving my graphics cards better cooling. Would this work? How does the P183 cope with dual-card setups?
I'm also wondering about the PSU mounting in the Antec. Unlike the Fractal, it doesn't have a filtered airhole straight through the bottom, from what I've seen. Problem?
TL;DR: I'm okay with paying the extra £30 for the Antec, I just want to make sure that it's the better option for my needs.
