coolermaster stacker 830 vs tai chi

hey guys..right now I have my set up in the tai chi case with liquid cooling, but I am not using the cooling as I have an aquarius III unit...Tomorrow I am recieving the coolermaster 830 stacker along with six antec 120mm fans and the koolance exos 2 external system and danger den blocks....given the fact that I do not use the internal cooling, I think that the exos with the stacker will be cooler...have any of you used this case>
 
let me ask you this...if i keep thet ai chi case, and use external liquid cooling, should I rmeove the internal system that is there? I am thinking that if i remove it there will be more space for airflow, since I am not using the system anyway.
 
sorry if my input isn't too relevant but my exp with thermaltake cases is NEGATIVE. will refrain to maximum from buying thermaltake products again.
oh and on a side not LOL this guy has 4gb of ram. slowing down your system much?? maybe u should do some research before u waste your money on adding more ram that would slow down your computer more than it'll help
 
Thermaltake has improved the build quality of their products recently and the Tai Chi really is a even match with the new stacker. I guess if you want more airflow you should get the stacker, but the Tai Chi is a nice case anyway.
 
yea I knwo the ram was definatly a waste...I am using only two gigs now at t1...I actually am selling an fx-57 with an asus a8n32-sli board and two gigs of the corsair ram..

i would agree that the tai chi is very well constructed but i'm not sure that the same could be said for the rest of their line
 
I will post my results later today...I am going to mount six 7 120mm fans in the stacker, and run an exos 2 with danger den blocks on the fx-60 and see the cpu and board temps.
