[PeteRoy]

I am interested in a case that fits the following criteria:

- Must have dust filters
- Must be quiet
- Will fit Core i7 and GTX 280

Can you please help?

Thank you.

PC-A20 Lian Li

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Cooler master ATCS 840. 3 dust filters, 3 230mm fans, enough room for 3 gtx 280's and water cooling inside the case. I have one and I love it. I put this as one of the best purchases I've ever made on a computer. Right up there with going to a SSD.

Forgot to mention it is dead quiet.

Cant find that specific Lian Li A20 in Israel.

That cooler master looks very impressive and very expensive, tell me, if u have vents on the top of the case dont u get a lot of dust build up coming down on it?

Forgot to say thanks for the suggestions, if you have more ill be happy to know.

You can get a case without fan filters and buy some of these fan filters to put on them.

Some dust can come down into case when its off. You could cover up the case when not in use if its that big of a deal. I personally removed all dust filters so I could get best airflow. I just use compressed air and blow my computer out every 2 weeks.

The HAF 922 is a nice option.
Check out the review in my sig!!

Tell me what you think.

 

[PeteRoy]

Don't you get a dust build up from the bottom holes?

 

[Cheex]

Actually no but you can easily get dust filters for that too if you want.

You may want to set a budget so we can toss out some ideas around that price range.

I would have a look at the Lian Li A20 damn nice for the money.

Coolermaster Atcs 840 replaced my Haf 932

Coolmaster ATCS 840 with side panel window, last case you will ever own:beer:

 

[aigomorla]

how can people just start recomending cases without asking the OP what the budget is?

OP have no budget? I can list a lot of cases which start at 300 dollars, and u would need to add some of your wants, but in the end would destroy all the cases people here have listed.

So you really need to list a budget.

Example... the Soldom Windy and Black Knight series... *Expensive* :X

ahhh thank you... u did ask for one...

 

[PeteRoy]

My budget is around 200-250 tops

I am tempted to buy the Antec 902 but I can't help but feel that for it's price it should be made out of alluminum.

Does anyone here have an Antec 902? Is it quiet? Dont you get dust inside the case from the top fan when it's turned off?

For $200 I would not get a Antec 900... get an aluminum case, like the Gigabyte 3D Mars.

I use the Antec 900 and like it very much.. good amount of space and great airflow. It doesn't come with filters but, as was mentioned , you can buy some to add in.

ATCS 840 can be had for $190 on newegg in the black flavor. im getting one next week since im working double hours and im hourly, so they have to pay me overtime/doubletime after 40 hours. will be an amazing replacement for my old thermaltake armor (original flavor).

Thanks for the tip, I bought this case

I bought the Gigabyte 3D MARS all allumium case and is less expensive than the Antec 902 which I also considered and I like it, it has dust filters, I will see if I can make a video review about it.
