Spec Me A Case !

saboy · 3 Dec 2006 at 21:57

Hi all,

Ive been looking at cases for a system i want to build next year, cases dont change much so i thought that i would have a look now.

I want a quality case that has excellent cooling, dust filters, and can fit the 8800 GTX.

Dont worry about the budget, would be nice for about 100, but dont mind stretching for a really nice one with the above features.

Thanks guys

Oh, and I should have added... The black ones are all superior to the silver ones.

Painted? There's none of that round here. The Lian Lis are all anodised.

As someone who was put off by the photos of the V1000 but bought it based on recommendation and review, I can say:

Buy it! I'm converted!

It still comes off if you rub it - or screw something into it often enough. I agree it looks the dogs, but silver is much more resilient. Plus it doesn't show the dust so much.

I am also looking for a new case for xmas and I really like the V1000, what are the dust filters like on it, because I have a cheap case at the moment and I also have to take it apart and clean the dust out.

Not had it long enough to get dusty, has a nice filter on the front intake, none on the rear (exhaust so not needed).

I also get a lot of dust in the PSU how do people prevent this from happeing ?

I took my PC to the father in-laws the weekend and he blew it out with his compressor the amount of dust was amazing.
