Hi everyone im looking to get myself a new case, im using the antec 300 at the mo nice case but im a bit tight for space, my 8800gts takes up a lot of room and cable management is kinda hard, i have 3 sharkoon fans fitted in it 2 at the front and 1 on the side so it nice and cool cpu idles at around 35c, just im being greedy and want a lot more space to play with, i have been looking at this

Lian Li PC-A71B Aluminium Tower Case

Same price and better imo.

thanks for your input mate one of the main probs i have is with the psu being at the bottom and the power socket being at the top of the mo board so i have wires going everywhere this is the psu i have

Is there a way of getting extened cables so i could maybe hide some wires in the case to give a better airflow as the cables on this psu are not very long

There are extension cables for the 8-pin CPU/mobo power lead here and for the 20/24 pin ATX connector here.

you could look at the 902, basically the same as the 1200 just a bit smaller

Only Antecs with real space for long graphics cards are P19x-models.

E-ATX cases don't have big depth for nothing. (this is LL A71)

Just what the heck is Antec thinking with that pricing?

I know it's out of stock, but from the pics on this forum the Silverstone Fortress looks like a great case. Look in the "Show us your silverstone cases" topic for pictures.

ahh not going to be for a while, I think my set ups pretty nice now, cant really justify upgrading just yet
