Im trying to build a PC & looking to buy a chasis with good ventilation.

7950 Geforce video card
1.5 terabyte of HD
Soundblaster xtreme music
AMD 4800 x2 64
2 gb Ram


Seriously considering A8N32 motherboard & 750 watt (maybe 1kilowatt).

Im looking for a midtower & best motherboard for gaming & video.
Any suggestions??
 
one of my prime critera for a gaming case (if not watercooling) is that it will take 120mm fans both front and rear.
 
If you're set on midtower, make sure you dont get anything less than a case that has 2x120mm fans.

2 if you're getting a midtower w/ 120mm fan holes. 4 if they're 80mm. 80mm fans are louder than 120mm ones.
 
I saw a chasis from Asus

Vento 3600

I dont know if it has a good ventilation.

what do you think?

It looks to be only 1 120 and 1 80mm fans....not all that great, and considering the cost of the case you'd hope it was of better quality.

Are you looking for something flashier than the P180 or P180B?
 
if you want a cheap / value case that still looks good, look at the Centurion 53x series

2x120mm fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust)
 
Antec 900 looks nice.
Also looks like it has a good ventilation.

Enough to not to get liquid cooling.

Would i need additional fans, other than the heatsink for Antec 900?

Im willing to spend $150 for the case.
 
Go to preformance-pcs.com, look at their case selection, especially the Lian-Li cases. They will modify anything for you for a decent price.
One thing to consider, if you mount a 750 or 1000 Watt PSU you will need AT LEAST 20 inches for space from front to back or the PSU will not fit.....trust me, Ive got a PCP&C 850W and it just made it in a Lian-Li 6070. The larger PSUs measure 10 full inches. The PCP&C Silencer 750 on the other hand is 7 inches, so just a bit smaller but you still have to figure in the length of the main 24 pin connector which aint always so flexible.
I have three 80mm fans, a 120mm side fan and a 92 mm rear fan in my 6070 and it runs very cool and quiet. Lian-Li's are beautiful cases.
 
cough *tj09* cough :D

PC-7 or PC-65 from Lian Li

Yellow Wave Masters look nice. Don't think it's quite deep enough, but still nice.

Other than a couple photos floating around the net, I've heard nothing about this case. What's so special about it?

Well this is the case I've been waiting for...4x120mm fans!!!
Two in the top..to take out all the hot air that rises,one in the rear of the case and a very very Stragetically placed fan in the center to pull air in and the rear and top 120mm fans will take the hot air OUT...This case is so dam WICKED..it has an older look of "CoolMaster" from back in the days when they first started making them..clean and well stated look..


Can't wait.. :D :D

I've benn told about 250ish... :)
But i dont know for sure till it hits the street..

What do you think about it...HOT....Right :D
 
There is also a fan between the two harddrive bays for cooling. I'm not sure if it's 120mm or not, but if it is then that's 5x120mm, not 4 :p

I think if you're looking for that kind of cooling and that kind of look the P180 is a far better deal...

I looked at the P180 last weekend at Compusa..Nice case indeed
But myself,I want something a little smaller in size :cool:

And yep..there is "another" 120mm fan between the harddrive casing to keep the drives cool..
Hey that make 5x 120mm fan..I hope they are the quiet type :)
 
Antec 900 has 9 bays??
I thought 3 bays with 2 120mm fans.

If you take those 2 fans out & make it as additional bay, wouldnt that cut down on the ventilation??


I do want dvd-rw, & dvd / cd combo, lcd reader with temperture sensor, & card reader slot.

the price is even decent. $115.

im kinda leaning toward this actually.

Its a nice case. But for 250, its kinda pricey for a case.

<insert I'm with stupid smiley here>



For that price I'll spend the extra ~$50 and get the TJ07.
