    Replace my Antec P180?

    So I popped into Fry's and luckily they had the Corsair 600, Haf 932 and Haf X. After playing with all them I think I am leaning toward the Corsair or HAF X. My only concern on Corsair at this point is the HDD mounts seemed a bit flimsy and might rattle. The HAF X might be louder and possible...

    Replace my Antec P180?

    Size is not a issue as I keep the case under the desk. Fractal XL looks very similar to the 180 but about 3in deeper which should give the vid card more room. Wonder how that fan on top would go with the H70?

    Replace my Antec P180?

    The 690 looks nice. How is the noise level? Works well with a H70? How do the air filters work? Can I remove and clean them without opening the case like on the P180?

    Replace my Antec P180?

    My Antec P180 seems a bit cramped ever since I went from a EVGA 8800 to a XFX 5850 so I have been debating replacing it when I do my new SB build. The 2 things I love about my 180 is the air filters in the front of the case(I HATE dust) and the fact that it is rather quiet. I like the Corsair...

    Upgrade PC -SB and socket questions

    Currently running a C2D E8400 with a Gigabyte GA-P35. I mainly just game, browse the internet, stream music and movies, Rip/Convert media and the occasional VM. I have done a little research and it looks like the current build would be a 2500k or 2600k with a P67/1155 board once the issues are...

    Xfx 5850

    I have been looking for a XFX 5850 for about a week now. I noticed a few retailers have the XFX HD-585X-ZAFC in stock now but I do not see that one listed on the XFX site. I noticed the Fan is also in the middle instead of on the end and have seen people complaining that the voltage cannot be...

    XFX or Diamond for a new 5850

    I have been trying to pick up a 5850 for a week or so now. I would like to get the XFX for the lifetime warranty but I have not been able to find one. A local retailer has a Diamond 5850 for $309 sitting on the shelf now. Has anyone had any bad experience with Diamond?
