The ultimate case

[morgala]

At present, what is the best case to have?

I'm going to upgrade my Antec sonata and I'm looking for a case that's suitably large so that it will accept watercooling and a 8800gtx, and will accept future upgrades.

I'm either considering an akasa eclipse, a V1000, a silverstone and the zalman fatility thingy. I have a budget of £250 max.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The Fatality one is not all that great on paper, not tried one yet but it certainly is not screaming of huge potential to me considering its price.

Are you after the best cooling case, the best built case or a combination of both?

Eclipse / PC7+II are the two cases that fit into the cooling and quality level.

v1000+ / v2000+ are ideal for watercooling, although the air cooling performance are to the same level as the Eclipse, but still more than adequate for a top spec SLI rig.

Its a case of how cool do you want to be.

Yes, a combination of both. In what respect would you say the V1000+ is ideal for watercooling compared to the Eclipse? Is it just a case of the size, or...?
