which case?

[Phili]

Actually I have a Thermaltake XaserIII case, but the HDDs stop the air which enters the Tower in the front. So the rest of my PC gets hotter and hotter. And the air hasn't got a possiblity to reach the CPU.

Can anyone suggest me a good new case please? Perhaps with 120mm Fans. And is a case with a Airtunnel possible? Because my CPU socket is located in the middle of the Mainboard.

My hardware is:
AMD 64 Venice 3000+
1GB OCZ DDR400
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum
PNY 6800GT
3 HDDs (2x IDE; 1x SATA)
Tagan 480 Watt

Thanks!

Compucase 6A19.
put one drive at the bottom, and one at the top of the HDD cage, and the rest of the 120mm fan's airflow blows right through.. it's the best case ever for functionality. well built too.

What's your budget?

 

[Phili]

100-120$

What do you think of a Chieftec Mesh series?

 

[Mrvile]

Well I've never heard of the Mesh series, so I did a google and it looks like they're only sold in Germany?

But anyway Chieftech cases are big, old, heavy, but are pretty nice quality. I probably wouldn't recommend it though because it's a bit big for your needs.

With 130 bucks you can get an Antec P180 which would be choice number 1.

I can only have i for 160$ and that's too expensive, don't you know another good case with a good air cooling possibility?
