Stock big fan cases

Looking for cases that have HUGE fans in them. Not so much for extreme air flow, but for quite extreme airflow.

checked out the antec 900, and some of the modded cases on performace-pcs.com.

what I would like
-huge fan at low RPMs (can be fan controlled) that moves a decent amount of air given the RPMs
-accepts normal power supply and such
-thick as the Zalman Fatality case
-no windows

Cost? Not so much an issue.

Other ideas?
 
Theres a few Cases out now the have 250mm Fans in them, I dont think theres anything thats stock with a biggir fan in it. problem is fans at that size are not as quiet as you would think, however the noise is in a differant frequency range so its not as anoying. I know alot of people that have tried to get just the fan to mod into other cases and I dont know of anyone that has gotten just the fan.

HOLY SHIT!

I like that XClio! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811103010

I just bought an Xclio 600W PSU & Lian Li PC-7A Plus II last week to help quiet down my PC.

It helped quiet down my PC phenomenally. In fact, so much, I had to order a harddrive silencer enclosure, b/c it was the only thing I could hear and it was bothering me.

Here's my set up:

Lian-Li case has 2 - 120mm fans: (1 front, 1 rear)
XClio PSU has 1 - 140mm fan
Scythe Infinity 1 - 120mm fan

there's a HUGE difference in sound compared to before where I had 7 - 80mm fans, and its a 2-3C cooler to boot!

Yeah, Thats 300CFM just from those 2 fans, I like that case also except for the front door, I am looking for a new case that doesn't have a door, I have seen others other than the 4 listed in my link, I was thinking there was one like the XClio but with no door, but not sure who made it.
 
It would be great to have one 25 in the front and one in the back. I know the case would be wider, but I assume with the width it could be shorter. Kinda like that older cube case? I don't really remember, gonna make a google search.

found it

something like that but with 200-250 mm fans, hmm.
 
How much airflow does it take to knock over a big HSF?! :rolleyes:

According to reviews, the Armor is an awesome case, with or without the big fan. the Xclio seems a big excessive :D

Nobody has mentioned the Aerocool ExtremEngine 3t, but it has some favorable reviews from people here. 140 in front, 250 on the side.

Sorry for quoting the image...

But that looks like the same chromed stripper pole that I own...

Right infront of your case.

Am I seeing things?
 
You've looked at the Antec 900, but my brother owns it and it's awesome. His graphics card idles at 32c most of the time, haven't checked it during loud but I'm sure it's great. If I stuck a fan on the side I'd get even better cooling, if I need it. The fans are at medium by the way, and they're not loud at all. I know you don't want a window but I just wanted to add my opinion :p
