well i have absolutely no idea what case to get so i hope people with the current case market could help me.


My specification:
*Ability to hold a 12" GPU
*ability to hide majority of cables in the back panal of the case
*The ability to blow air in from the side OR bottom then have have 2 120 mm fans at the top or maybe 140mm fan? & oviously the classic back end fan.
*Ability to hold 3 HDD's
*The ability to have the PSU at the bottom of the case and blows air from the bottom & out of the side of the case.


Any suggestions?


Also what are the benefits of a aluminion case?
 
One question though.

The 550D is clearly desgined for silence.

i have a hydro-water CPU cooler(antec 620)

it seems wasteful to the design to have side or top fans even though the option is there.

I have concerns that the airflow will be terrible if setup as below;

i mean't my concern is that the radiator would limit the airflow out of the case leaving lots of air coming in but little going out.
 
Ok pc finally built; be posting pics tonight.

been busy with a puppy & stuff made this build take forever. :)

The antec 620 cpu cooler gave me LOTS of problems, posting a bad review on that cooler tonight.

Click to expand...

Been busy & PC isn't currently working :/ Faulty PSU; coil whines on high load. (Almost RMAed my GPU lol)

I've also upgraded my cpu cooler to 920. The build & design quality was 200% better. The installation went so easy & painfree compared to the nightmare i had with the 620.

I've also switched the CPU cooling pipes to the top of the case as the GPU was heating the water up :/

Anyway here are the Pics of my broken PC :(
