I am copnsidering upgrading my case to a full tower and needed some recommendations. Currently the 3 cases I am looking at are

1) Cooler Master Stacker
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119042

2) Thermaltake Xaser Armor Series
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133154

3) Enermax CS-718
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811124110

The enermax CS-718 has a windtunnel design to it and so I was wondering if it will fit over my CNPS-7700Cu with my DFI nf4 Ultra-d. Can someone who already owns this case or has acess to this case please let me know the width of the windtunnel and how far it sits from the bottom of the case.

If anyone has a link to detailed cad drawings on this case that would be just perfect. I looked around on enermax website and could find nothing (not to mention how slow it was)

Help appreciated

Thanks

I haven't seen any of them upclose, but here's what I can tell you. The Xaser is LOUD LOUD LOUD. The CM Stacker is big and nice and will keep your parts cool, and the price of noise. Not as bad as the Xaser though. The wind-tunnel idea is nice, but it'll only cool one portion of the components.

Well I do not have the Enermax but Avance Terminator which is the same - has different front panel, right side panel and no display (****) and the tunel is: 124mm wide innerly and its cca 3.8-4 mm away from the very bottom of my motherboard.

Oh, forgot to mention that I am not using the tunel - 1. my cpu cooler is too big (144mm to be precise) 2. unfortunately the PSU P2 cable is just enough long as the board has the connector on the very bottom 3. no need to use it due to the cpu cooler and 2x12mm fans
