Suggest a case, please

GLeN · Nov 26, 2007

Im looking for a case for my xmas build. Im looking for a big case thatwould hold a 8800gt without a doubt. It should look good, but none of them cases that look like a nade exploded inside and have lots of leds everywhere. Maybe a window...? Preferably black but is not a big factor. And hopefully it doesnt blow a hole in my pocket so it shouldnt be that dear. Thanks in advance, GLeN

go to places like dabs.com/ebuyer.com etc and find one that suits you. personally i think alot of "value" cases meet most peoples needs so dont be put of by the cheap price. also reviews are a very good thing to go by.

any idea on how much you want to spend?

The Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case is perfect for this build. I highly recommend it.

GLeN · Nov 26, 2007

not that much, around 60 gbp. That coolermaster looks awesome

Antec 900 is very good- but according to others cable management can be a problem. However its looks are like marmite - you either love or hate it.

coolermaster 'dominator' cm-690, better than most under £100

Agreed...just have to be imaginative if wiring is a premium concern. From the factory t comes with 2 big straps to hold the wiring to the mobo tray behind the drive bays. Looked ok that way when I first put mine together.....but then my dremmel got the best of my 900 and all my wires are behind the tray now...lol

I would check my case out (see system specs) on newegg. It was only $75 and is 8800GTX compatible. The giant 240mm and 120mm fans are as quiet as could be, and you could fit a small child with the space you have (not recommended..) Best case you can get for the price IMO.

Thermaltake Soprano DX

KennyT772 · Nov 26, 2007

Gigabyte 3DAurora 570. I bought one for the same reasons, large amount of room, strong built, nice window. Sadly I had to sell my rig. Go check it out online. Mine is for sale but I'm guessing shipping would be a bit much from me to you.

das müffin mann · Nov 27, 2007

do you like nice simple cases or do you want something flashier?

Deleted member 24505 · Nov 27, 2007

akasa eclipse,big,wide and sexy black inside.Good cooling too 120mm f/r.

das müffin mann · Nov 27, 2007

rosewill r5604 by far the best case ive ever owned its all alluminum stays very cool (running 2x 2900's in crossfire no heat probs i still have room to spare oh did i mention its 30 bucks very accesible side and front panels comes off very very easily also has a lock if you need to stash something

its black kinda heavy but thats expected very simple neat design also i had a sunbeam tech case that was pretty good to me to

GLeN · Nov 27, 2007

For the mean time Im getting the coolermaster elite 330 case

Its only 25 pounds

Thanks for the replies ppl

panchoman · Nov 27, 2007

there have been loads of case suggestion threads already, but anyway, cooler master cosmos or cooler master stacker 832 are 2 great ones.

zekrahminator · Nov 27, 2007

Another vote for the Antec 900 here

.

Chewy · Nov 27, 2007

coolermaster cosmos is great. If you want portablity why not go for a thermaltake lanbox or something similar from Silverstone? Silverstone rocks just check my Avatar! lol

you want small I can did up a nice small case and a real good matx board thats just as good as an Gigabyte ds3 ATX board if not better.. its a board by Gigabyte a g33 model.. the most expencive one its only $140 and can hit like over 500fsb.

Fair enough - clean and cheap case.

Sunbeam Transformer Full Tower.

About 65 USD and soooo much room.

PaulieG · Nov 29, 2007

I've owned so many cases, it ridiculous. Antec, thermaltake, enermax, you name it. This is the best case I've eve owned. It's very roomy, has a motherboard tray, good airflow, and it's solid as a tank. Seriously, check it out:
