New case which one???

[bigfoot]

Well it's time to upgrade my case my old thermaltake saprano is getting too crowded , not enough air flow and too noisy without the side panels that termalright 120 extreme cooler is anything but silent ,after a recent new build for a friend with a comos 1000 i was really impressed with it but it's just too big ,So i was looking at the coolermaster stacker 830 evolution, the one I get must have good airflow and be fairly silent ,any suggestion's would be appreciated

Geez I am the wrong guy to give advice if you found the Cosmos too big. I know I am going to sound like a cheap hooker saying this but I like them big. You always have enough room for whatever you wish to do. I have two of the Thermaltake Xaser series super towers (Xaser III and Xaser VI). Xaser VI being the biggest. I like to future proof a little...Never know when Nvidia is going to make a two foot card or you just need the room to put in a water cooling system without having to stick the rad on the back of your system like most people have to do. :wink:

I disagree, I had a thermaltake full-size armor it it was just too big. Felt like I never was gonna fill it up.... And pretty noisy too. I love my p182, no wait, I recommend it.

I love my Antec 900. Best airflow I've ever seen from a non-modded case.

A case is only as noisy as the amount of noise the fans produce that you install so you can make any case silent.

I recommend the Stacker as its one great case with some nice features and a superb amount of airflow.

Well i've taken the plunge and ordered the coolermaster stacker 830 should be here tomorrow looking forward to it, hopefully i will be able to have a quiet rig now and with the better airflow less fans

I like the look of the Antec gamer case too but I wish it came in silver too.
I like my Thermaltake Armor case too and I'm glad it was big enough for my 9800 gtx to fit in.

Just got my stacker 830 case have to wait till tomorow before swoping bit's over but look's good though i have to go and fix a friend's rig tonight.

Sorry looks like they've discontinued the promotion

cm 690 would be a good choice.

There's a lot of people that really like the Antec 900. For me, I'm modding an old server case.

I prefer to keep my systems quiet, so I also recommend the P182 (I have 2 P180s - the P182 is an updated version of the P180). It really depends on what you want out of it. Space vs. noise vs. airflow. I think the P182 is a good compromise of all 3 areas.

I agree, a very well made case that's quiet, not too big, has good airflow, cable nmanagement, adjustable fan speed and dust filtration is the Antec P182. The only caveats are that you need to be careful how you fit long video cards in it and that the PS you get has long cables due to a bottom mount or you can use extensions on those that are a tough reach. I'm starting to find however that using these cases for SLI is not as hard as I thought. There's even one custom builder in my area (Puget Systems) using them for Tri SLI. Note however that using SLI generally means giving up the upper HD bay for HD use. You have to go with their liquid cooling modified P182 to get Triple SLI but it does prove that even Tri SLI will fit in such a case. http://www.pugetsystems.com/certified_sys3.php?sys_id=90 (http://www.pugetsystems.com/certified_sys3.php?sys_id=90)

Check out the Antec 900 and the CM-690. Both are top-notch for the price. Antec has also released the Antec 1200, which is really nice. You also might want to check out the NZXT Tempest. It's sort of like an improved Antec 900 and is literally everywhere I go!
