Upgrade from my P180?

[krooton]

It has served me well for the past 3 years, but I think it is time to move on to pastures new.

Now the 902 seems to be the logical upgrade path. I don't mind a huge case, as I don't move my computer around, so bigger means more space, better cooling, easier cable management.

Is this wise, or are there other cases I should consider?

The HAF 932 looks good, but not worth the extra £40.

Cheers!

Looks like P193 is the best bet actually, will have to wait til bonus month though.

Any ideas if a Corsair H50 can be mounted on the big boy 200mm fan? Or if that would be any good (not sure if the rad will benefit from a smaller, focussed flow fan like an Apache)

I doubt it, would need some srious modding i think, also I gather these are best on intake fans anyway, so its cold air coming in over the radiator, rather than warm air going out over it

Isn't the side fan on the P193 an intake?

Yep, too bad Antec just didn't go for clean case because with fan in its place it can hit to CPU heatsink limiting heatsink's height to 140mm.

I thought with the fan being outside the case, this was no longer an issue, like it was with the P190?

What about the Stacker 832?

Ooooh, Silverstone Raven 2 looks pretty sweet
