Cooling system for $100-125 Help

[ledfortr]

Hello all,
I have read quite a few of the posts to help with my decision and I would also like to directly ask the group for help.

I am in the process of shopping for a new case. I would like to get the best case I can buy for about 100-125. I plan to do as much overclocking as possible on the following rig

Asus p5b Deluxe
Core 2 Duo E6400
Corsair xms2 6400 twin 1GB
Leadtek GeForce 8800 GTS

I have a mild overclock in my current case and I'd like to upgrade so I can push the hardware a bit.

Would anyone have a recommendation for the most bang for the buck cooling solution for $125 or under.

Thanks for your help.

If you care about it being quiet, then go with P180 or Antec Solo.

If you only care about it being cool, then maybe Antec 900.

are you looking for a case? or cooling? your budget is 125 for what? the case and cooling? or case only?


If your looking for both case and cooling to meet that budget, the CM Centurion5 + Scythe ninja <--- cheapest solution

or antec P180 pr p900 + sunbeam (i forget the model number, the one that looks like AC freezer.) or freezer, or ninja.


if your looking for just cooling, then sorry bud, your stuck inside a void between water and air. Your budget is too low for water, yet its kinda high for air. Upgrade your budget, or stay with air. Thats the only solution.

Thanks for the responses aigomorla and yosuke.

I went with the p180, i found a great local deal on one $115! I bought an extra 120mm for the HD bay and a zalman cnp9500. I went over my budget a bit but I am 15 degrees cooler with this build. I am still burning it in so I expect to see it drop a little more once the past sets.

Thanks again for the help!
