Poll: Best Case ($ not an issue)

[sauria]

What's the best case for O/C system with $ not being an issue.

 

[mgravy]

Ckeck out the Addtronics 8500/8600 WTX modified case at Coolcases.com

 

[sauria]

Cool site! I couldn't seem to find those models though under modified cases???

 

[ericd]

The Chenbro Genie has always looked promising to me. Of course there is always the coldforge. I also like the Antec SX1440.

[mgravy]

Oh yeah! -you have to download or open the PDF catalog for mods and pricing info. You can see the case at The Addtronics site in its unmodified condition...

 

[sauria]

Ok, thanks! Who makes the coldforge?

 

[Xerin]

If money truly isn't an object, the Vapochill is an overclocker's dream. Unfortunately, it's $650 not including the power supply.

I went with the Max Cool case, which is a modified addtronics.

 

[sauria]

I like the looks of that Max Cool Case. How loud is it ?

Thanks!

 

[ericd]

you can find the coldforge here.

The coldforge AA-15 is almost too big to properly manage air flow IMO. But you can pile alot of stuff in there...your water cooling setup, custom refrigerant system, etc.
I might buy one in May or June when I put my dual Xeon system together...in my dreams.

I have a lot of crap in my sx830 and the ambient temp is at room temp +1 C. Addtronics are good. Coolermaster's and Lian Li's are cool lookin' and have good cooling.

Whatever floats your boat.

 

[sauria]

Any temperature data from these cases?

 

[miniMUNCH]

It's all about properly directing air flow and getting enough air changes inside you case, wihch is almost never a problem.

Almost any addtonics antec SX, or exotic aluminum case can be set-up to get great cooling for all components.

What about the Antec SX1240,go here for specs Antec SX1240

 

[sauria]

That's a nice case Mem -- are 120mm fans that much quieter than 80mm or 92 mm?

 

[Biggs]

Lian Li.

 

[dowxp]

I dontknow about you, but my sx1030b is already heavier enough... heavier than my monitor! is cuz of my hd's and 3 cdroms. but hey, when i have to go to lans, i ahve to carry this thing! =)

See this site alliancepc.com Those case made by Linkworld,I think not too fancy or not too awkward. See this evaluation site for more details review

 

[Xerin]

I haven't built my pc yet, just have the Max Cool case waiting for my other components. From the reviews I've read it's a little loud but not too bad. I bought a Digital Doc 5 to go with it so I could control the fans, but unfortunately all the fans come wired into a single connector. Still I think it's the best case out there for air cooling.

If money isn't an issue than I think the Lian Li PC70 full tower aluminum case is by far the best. Look at it here
Tell me that doesn't look awesome

 

[sauria]

Boy that is a pretty case!

 

[sauria]

Fitzhue:

Only available to Aussies & Kiwis or people who have seen 'The Dish?'

 

[max105]

if money ain't an issue...those aluminum cases rock!

Check out the Coolermaster ATX-200, ATX-201 series. But I like the Lian Li 60 more tho.

But cheap cases still goes to the Enlight 7237

 

[CyrusT]

If $ is no problem then check this out...

VaporChill

 

[kaiotes]

if $ is not objective why bother overclocking and spend a grand on the fastest processor that exists!!

 

[fitzhue]

The fastest processor (performance wise) would probably be the 1333 mhz tbird. Some people get tbirds up to 1.5 ghz. Overclocking yields higher performce that would seemingly be impossible otherwise.
