Hey guys,

Looking to get a new full tower case im looking for pretty much the biggest badest one in the sub 200 market (before tax/shipping)

Im also looking at as quiet as it can be without water cooling (i plan to replace all the fans with silverstone 120mm fans 110 cfm.

anyways ive got the COOLER MASTER COSMOS in mind right now.

anyone know of a better case?
 
how are those contridictory?

i find the silverstone very powerfully even at a low rpm (controled by the controller)
 
Allright i did some research now that i had some free time

case: COOLER MASTER COSMOS - 1 $189.99

Fans: Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F - 4 $51.96 ($12.99 each bulk rate)

total $269.83

I may end up buying a few more of the fans to replace the ones in my other case...

ill replace the fans in the case with the scythe fans if i count right there are 4 in the COSMOS
 
I have had a cosmos case for a couple months. I found that you do not need to replace all four fans to get the maximum cooling possible. I replaced the intake and back exhaust fans with Scythe S-Flex 65cfm fans. I also had to remove the bottom bracket that holds both of the dust filters for the power supply and intake fan. The intake fan cannot suck in enough air with the filters on to work correctly. The way it is set up now there is no temperature difference on my CPU or video card with the side of the case on or off. Even having to do that I still wouldn't trade the case for another. Also the 65cfm Scythe fans are very quite for how much air they move. I was not big on paying fifteen bucks for a fan but they are definitely worth it.
 
Cosmo cooling is very bad, temperature seam to be high :(. The Silverstone TJ09 cool a lot better.
 
and they also cost 100 bucks more lol

i said sub 200 market

and thanks for the hiper but i read the review all is fine and good but not what im looking for thanks tho
 
Why not save 40$ and pick up some Yate loon fans? How much airflow do you REALLY need?

And howabout a Lian Li PC-V1000 or something? Great cooling, awesome case, and usually sub 200$.
 
ill look into it a bit more

Im kinda getting tired with the mesh feel lol... but i like where the hard drives are and what not

ill have to ponder it lol

any other suggestions?
Ill most likly replace the fans with some sort of quiet fan that moves considerable air and the reason why i get the more expensive s-felx is becasue they ahve a bulk rate and i may end up getting more than 4 of them so they would only get cheaper... so yeah thats that reason why i went for the higher cfm
