Is there a case that Air cools better than the Antec 900?

Quickstrike · Dec 2, 2007

I always hear about the Antec 900 being a great case for an air cooled setup.

I however have a higher budget than what the Antec 900's go for and was wondering if there were air cooled cases that offered better cooling performance?

Thanks,

cooler master stacker cases are probably the best, the antec may have a large fan but its not well designed to cool the right places.

the stacker 830 is a good case, have a look at that first and see what you can see.

If you're in the market for a mid-tower, the Cooler Master Mystique 632 flows really well. It's a heavy case for aluminum, though, and the stock 120mm fans provided with the case are sub-par.

Yeah I have the Cooler Master Mystique 631 and its perfect and at an Excellent price. If your on a budget I'd recomend this case.
