What I have:
Antec P182
Likes:
quiet
good build quality
understated looks
dislikes:
- case now showing its age with lack of support for 240mm+ Rads
- space between motherboard and back of case, caused case to bulge no matter how well cable managed.
- since going SLI have had to remove soundcard
potentials replacements I have considered
Carbide 740, possibly going to be too noisy, ??
Raijintek Asterion Plus, dust filters screwed on to the bottom of case, not easy to remove.
Lovely looking case though.
The case will sit under my desk, but will still be visible to a degree.
Rough height I have to play with is 550mm
I wanted the 8th card slot so that I can use a PCI extension and reinstall my soundcard in the 8th slot, I know I could get a case where the GPU can be mounted vertically, but personally I think these look stupid.
I have also just bought a 240mm AIO off the MM so that needs to be fitted as well.
Obviously with 2 GPUs in the case I can't ignore cooling
2 x GTX680 + 2500k o/clocked.
Should I be considering anything else ?
anything particularly that would fail either case as a contender ?
