Well I posted a thread a month back about getting a new case but instead of getting a case I bought a SSD, 2 HDD and a Logitech G25. Now however I'm back on the lookout for a new case AGAIN.
This time I've got a slightly lower budget of around $200 AUD. I buy off this Australian shop: http://umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=4
I've looked through a few cases and the ones that really stick out from the pack is the Silverstone Raven RV 01 and slightly less, the RV 02. The RV 01 is priced at $219 and looks great as-well as having a unique but efficient way of cooling hardware. The RV 02 is $196 but even though its supposed to be the ' advanced brother' of the RV 01, it doesn't really appeal to me in anyway, plus the window is on the wrong side. After these two comes the HAF 932 (which I think is an ugly thing) at $207, HAF 922 at $170 and the Lian Li Lancool PC-K62 at $160.
I need a case that has longevity and will last me at-least 3 years. It needs to be able to fit a Radeon 5850/5870 or the new Nvidia Fermi cards coming out, which is supposed to be quite hot. I need it to cool a P55/X58 with a i5/i7 down the line when I upgrade my PC later in the year. I also need it to hold 3-5 HDD's. I wont be using watercooling at all so no need for that and I don't need uber awesome power greatness lolezepeeeowned air circulation and temperatures, I just need my PC to be cool enough that I can oc fairly well (not trying to set any records..)
The only downside in the Raven RV-01 is that its quite large in width and would be hard to fit on my desk (I will have it above my desk since its better access to connections and also so you can see the side window). My desks top width is currently 23.5cm or 235mm in width but it goes to 300mm but theres a 7cm/70mm gap before hitting the wall. The Raven RV 01 is 280mm in width so its just squeezing up top. I will take some pictures of the situation when tomorrow when its light since I've only got a 2 megapixel camera phone on me atm. Maybe I could mod the top part of my desk or something?
Anyways all your help would be appreciated.
