Hi guys

my currently spec is -

P4 2.4'c'GHZ
Geil 512mb DDR ram
Abit IC7
Leadtek 6800GT
Antec Sonata (old one) with TruePower 430W
1 x 74GB Raptor
1 x 250GB maxtor hard drive
1 x NEC DVD-RW

i had 3 hard drives in "sandwich" and it was VERY HOT, the middle hard drive failed due overheating. got replaced under warranty. its 250GB sata maxtor hard drive and would like to use it as RAID 1 (mirror) with another 250GB maxtor.

so i had a look around, found this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-019-BT

but i think it wouldnt fit in antec sonata as the case itself is quite small so i've decided to get new bigger case for now and future C2D upgrade in around Easter time.

which case would you recommend? i like Lian Li PC7+ and Antec 900.

i'm not sure if the cables from TruePower 430W from the sonata is long enough for optical drives at top of the case if the PSU is placed right bottom of the case.

any recommendation, any tips, any advises would be fantastic.

thank you :)
 
I'd recommend the PC7+ or the Akasa Eclipse, and so will most other people! Both offer excellent airflow, and plenty of space. The Eclipse is absolutely cavernous! :)

I second that.
 
I'm going for the PC7+, going to order this week. Just about every reviews and opinion i've seen of it says its a good case.
