Need Case And NB Cooler Suggestion

[F1N3ST]

Well first off I have some Xion XON-103 case with a wierd scheme so I am looking to change to something more subtle, possibly with a side window, no gaudy ugly stuff, a basic nice quality case that can fit a GTX 260.

Second, I need suggestions for a new Northbridge cooler, it uses the hook retention, my fan has recently started a whirring, and i'm using a fan controller to quiet it, its getting too hot for my tastes.

I'm in USA, and love newegg

EDIT: Any opinions on this cooler, also, does it have hook retention?

if you're looking for classy, check out Lian Li cases, they can be had between $89 - $300.

LL's are all high quality cases.

Any opinions on these two cases?

They have free shipping and look good to me, are they quality?

Other nice cases are the Cooler Master RC-690, Cooler Master HAF932 , andthe Antec P183 (available directly through Antec). Lian Li's and Silverstones are great cases if you have the money. Like the Silverstone TJ07 and TJ09, and Lian Li PC-7 series.

As for a northbridge cooler, look around for a Thermalright HR-05 IFX and grab an 80mm fan and you're golden.

those 2 cases are sucky in the cooling department, the centurion 5 only has an 80mm fan in the front. the standard is 120mm and up these days.

the Elite case may come with mounting hols in the front for a 120mm fan, but you'd have to buy your own, add $10 for the cost of a fan to the entire cost of that case.

looks like you're looking at <$75 cases... can we have some more fun and you increase your budget to $150?

Eww, my computer budget depleted a long time ago i'd say. These 2 cases come with free shipping and i like them , also, my current 120mm fans would probably go into the new case because I have some nice thermaltakes.


I think I made up my mind!!

LOL what was the purpose of making this thread? you did not take any suggestions from other users, nor did you ask any questions, nor did u reply to anything we said lol.

btw, thermaltake fans are not NICE, they're SUCK. they lie about dB readings and don't have a good CFM/dB rating.

I looked at your suggestions....>_>. The thing is the price, Lian Li's I know are awesome cases, but they are too much right now , And I know my fans are not the best, I voltmodded them to 7v I think, and they still move an impressive amount of air at near silence.
