Hello!
I bought recently Abit NF7-SL V2.0 -motherboard.
It's otherwise great mobo, but it is (too) big, even for my maxi sized case,
Aopen HQ08.
I can't place my HDs on the lower rack, because they are then blocking the memory slots barely leaving the 1st slot accessible.
Ok, I can place the HDs to the upper rack, where they are placed at the moment, but this creates bad bottle neck on the area where cables are taken to the lower part of the case.
There's only low airflow for the HDs running high speed, and I'd like them to be placed on the lower part of case due to cooler air down there.
So I am seeking for a new case now, not only for the reason this new mobo being so big, but also for a change. I don't need space for that many HDs nor CD-drives as I have on the current case.
These two models have taken my interest:
Antec Sonata
Picture of the interrior (Found from the review page 4.)
Lian Li 6070
Picture of the interrior (Found from the review page 6.)
Both being well designed, good looking and silent.
Sonata's setback is its lack of mobo sledge and Lian Li's its price.
Got comments or usage experience on the two cases?
Or suggest some other cases which might be able to fit in Abit NF7-SL V2.0?
Thanks!
