Debating the Cases

[Blackburn]

Realize that there are several similar threads, but would greatly appreciate peoples' perspective on which of the following case they'd chose and more importantly why.

Cooler Master 830
Temjin TJO9
Lian Li V1000 (window)

My new rig will have one 8800GTX today, and may eventually add a second in SLI down the road if necessary. Also, it will be an air-cooled set-up, with 4 HDDs, E6600 and a Zalman 9500.

Minimizing noise is an important consideration for me, but cooling is concern #1.

Thank you in advance for your perspective!

i'd go with the TJ-09 cause of its great cooling, lite weight (about 24 lbs) and good looks

the stacker 830 weights about 40 lbs

review: with comparison between TJ-09 and stacker 830, i dont know how many fans they used in the 830 tho

Thanks for the input 64dragon ... I'm leaning towards the TJ09 as well. The Lian Li is pretty, but think the cooling of the Temjin is more compelling. And as you noted, the 830 is darn heavy.
