Best Air Cooling case ever?

seriously though, every case is roughly the same. nothings going to be drastically different. Aside from A/C cases

I'm kind of partial to my LL cases. They're solidly built and using Yate Loons especially the 120mm for additional cooling has kept my temps down.

I like the intake fans cooling my hdds and having fans in back and top for exhaust really helps, I think. Adding a separate side intake works for me too.

The LL PC-7B +2 version is great because of the 120mm intake and exhaust. Replacing the top with a 120mm, plus adding 1 to the side makes a fantastic cool machine.

The results and overall costs are really surprising. I have all kinds of info if you're interested. My recent builds are really benefitting from the addons.

Hope your case is as cool as mine.

Maybe someone can give me a link to the 250mm fan.

Sure would like to put that on an Intel rig and test the results.

I think any of those cases with the 250mm side fans would be at the top. The Stacker 830 would probably also compare if you load it up with fans on the side.

There are lots of cases with those 250mm fans out there now (one even has two of them - XClio A380) - you just need to be sure that the case has adequate vents for the air to escape. The only other fan most cases should need would be a low and slow fan to force a slight breeze across the HDDs. (Of course, your CPU and vid card may each need fans of their own. I still haven't found those fans sold separately yet - I suppose the OEM biz is sucking them all up.
