I was originality considering this case., I might reconsider it , but I can't currently remember why I was not going to get it.

This looks promising:

Total : £111.68 (includes shipping : £9.75).

What about the Shinobi XL?

Fits the largest of motherboards and natively supports those monster 156cfm 230mm spectre pro fans, should be pretty effective at air cooling.

It's a good case

Another very good air cooling case again

Your taking the motherboard size and the graphic cards sizes into mind ?
Just want to be sure. thank you.

Yep, both cases take XL-ATX and stupidly long GFX cards.

Does it come with the fans or would I have to add the fans myself ?

Comes with two 230mm Spectres and one 120mm spectre, not the Spectre Pros.

Which is the best of the cases you own for air flow ?

between the Antec DF85 , Coolermaster ATCS84 and the Shinobi ?

Well its that Antec DF85, but thats due to it having 7 fans and a massively open front, but its ugly.

Its also a bitch to clean and dust is a nightmare even with three dust filters in the front it still gets in somehow ( might be because of the negative pressure inside so dust and crap works its way through panel gaps etc)

Okay which case do you think would get the job done for me ? not to fussed about aesthetics, just want a good air flow.
something with easy to replace fans though and an option to maybe add a few if I wish , without any fuss installing them.

The Bitfenix has great potential, might just need an extra 120mm fan added to the floor bringing extra air in, will be testing this out later this week.

Antec 1100.

Sadly can't afford it for a while...

cosmos 2

i highly recommend the cosmos 2 so much you can do with it and very quiet.
my current idle temps are,

cpu 17c
system 27c
gpu sli 32c

can cool a bit more if want to.

very easy to work in and very tidy.

im not being biased cos im a bit choosey of what i buy but im 100% happy.

shaun.

You have a cold room....

No Heatsink (even the D14), will get a CPU (even a 2500k) below ambient temps.... So your room must be colder than 17c, (suspecting about 14/15)...
