I am in the market for a new computer and with it comes a new case!
I am currently looking at a couple different cases...
low end
Antec 300 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042&Tpk=antec 300)
Cooler Master Centurion 590 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152)
mid
antec 900 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021)
Cooler Master RC-690 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137)
high end
Antec p182 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129025&Tpk=antec p182)
The p182 looks very nice and has some very good features I am looking for, and is supposed to be quiet. What I am worried about is the cooling of this case. I plan on eventually overclocking my CPU and running 2 HD4850s, so I could be generating some heat in my case.
The over antec's look the best, but do not have a vent on the bottom for the PSU (my new PSU has a huge fan on the bottom) so it would be adding extra heat to my case which I want to avoid.
the coolermaster seem to be very comparable to the antec as far as features and everything, but they have the bottom vent I am looking for and plenty of option for extra fans. While not looking bad or over the top.
With the p182 down to 109.99 it is very tempting (provided that it as good as reviews say it is, but is it and exta $50 better?)
I am looking for great airflow for a nice aircooled overclocked system. Quieter the better, and finally style and design... I'm just so indecisive..
Also I will not be getting a new computer until around feb when the new phenoms come in. So I have some time, any possibilities some great deals may come around by then?
Thoughts? comments? Other suggestion?
Thanks!
