Which Case Should I buy?

Postby lintonam » Mon Jul 10, 2006 12:56 pm

What would be a good quiet case that would provide a good amount of cooling? Looking to be runing a AMD 3800+ in an AM2 socket.

I've got a Thermaltake Tsunami. Front and rear 120mm fans and side 80mm fan.

Fantastically well cooled case.

LOL... I was looking at the little dorm fridge in my bedroom the other day, thinking about doing just that... I might buy another mini-fridge or one of those mini wine chillers for such a project; probably cheaper to mod one of those than to go with a fancy liquid-cooling setup.

For the next PC build, though, I haven't decide yet, but whatever it will be, it must have a 120 in the front, another in the back, and a ducted side port. Don't need no lights or windows or any of that syuff- just excellent ventilation.
And self-cleaning would be nice, too... ;D

Lian Li V1000B
Silverstone TJ-05
ThermalTake Tsunami
ThermalTake Soprano
Lian Li PC65

In black

In that order 8) But seriously in order of looks and the way they cool thats the order of most cool to least. Disregard the Lian Li V1000 if you buy a mobo with a heat pipe.
