Best Case

[SXT14]

Hey all,
What Im wondering is what do you guys think would be the best case for cooling, cable management. Im going to be building a high end system and am wanting some input on what you guys recomend.

Thanks all

For cooling, I would think the Stacker 810 would be unbeatable if you put two (or even 3) 120s up front...

Wires can be managed properly in any case, the looks of the cables depend on how much work you are willing to do on cable managment.

stacker for cooling, hands down

U2-UFO... i just got mine on monday, 9 120mm fans, 4 up front, 3 in the back and 2 on the top.

i was looking at this case too, or a mid tower 810. does the PS go in the bottom of the 810 series?

edit: what is in the bottom of the case? is it air intake? is there room for a 168/172 mm fan in the top for exaust?

the bottom is just a vented metal sheet . as for the fan there should be room as there is no psu bracket up there but you gotta cut your own hole

I got the Coolermaster 830 Stacker its brilliant

i personally think the stacker looks ugly, but that's just my opinion. the lian li v1100b looks slick, i would get that but it's pretty exspensive, $250

still a little lost on the PSU. where does the PSU go in that case? you dont mean i have to cut my own PSU hole do you?

your pick, top or bottom

heh no . i meant the 168/172 mm you mentioned.

ok, i see if you pick bottom there is a place for it. what if you pick top. where does the PSU sit? i only ask because if you picked bottom the power ATX power connection would have a hard time reaching most motherboards
