what case??

_jM · Oct 15, 2008

OK here's an update to the original topic. The Silverstone case is awesome in person but I don't like the size of the case and if I go water-cooling I would much rather have a case that can hold everything inside the case. But the case is f'n great build quality.. so far its the best built mid -tower I've seen in a good minute. But I will go with the Stacker 830 for the size and the fact i can put a dual 120mm rad in the 5.25 cages. =]

The hardware Im buying is: MOBO: ASUS Maximus II Formula CPU: INTEL E8500 RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 (8gigs) VIDEO: ATI RADEON HD 4870x2 HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor 150gb (will buy 2 for raid. can only afford 1 atm) Cooling : ASUS Silent Knight AL ( the black one .. not copper) PSU: ULTRA X3 1000 watt modular psu

Along with the case in the pic on the 1st page of this tread. And all the water-cooling parts after i can afford it, I will be going air-cooling for the moment untill i get the extra cash for the second VelociRaptor and the WC parts.

..... cant wait!..

Yea ... I originally wanted that case but its out of my price range at the moment. I could get it and get a 7,200rpm HDD but I want to spend the majority of my initial build on the hardware first. I can always get the case at a later date. =]

Plus.. I heard that Silverstone might be re-making that case in an all black interior version. I figure if it's true.. I can hold off till then because that will make the TJ07 even more badass than it is!

I have the WD black 1TB already .. so i have enough space. =] Im just going to ditch the 160 i have and use the 2 VR's in a raid 0 cfg for the OS Programs and games only.If I was to use all of the drives i have currently i would have a lil over 1.75 TB :toast:

You know peet.. the Cosmos S case is my next choice as far as water-cooling goes. But I really want somthing with an all black interior already cause im lazy and dont want to paint this case. :cry:

no problem, I just figured if you liked the stacker but needed a bit more room, that may have been a route to take. No probs on being lazy

The antec 1200 is a nice case but i think if i got one of those i would use it for air-cooling. My cousin has one and it sounds like a wind tunnel .. but for an all air-cooled case its a nice one =] Plus i never was a fan of the side window and how the top exhaust is. #1 the fan is flimsy and i just know (with kids) some kind of little toy will get poked in there or some milk? lol the top is just too open for me.. if you know what i mean :toast:

It only sound like a wind tunnel if all the fans are on high.
Every fan I have on right now is on LOW and my CPU is still 25*C idle at 3.8GHz.

When i mean no damage.. he made a dent in my bumper but it isn't noticeable. The kid gave my wife the check to basically keep his ass out jail. And keep her from reporting it. She told me she didn't care .. but the kid insisted. What would you do? If he wants to basically give me free cash, then im taken it!

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you....can't tell you what to do, But I feel what you did was take advantage of someone when there wasn't a need to.......and lets be clear, I'm not trying to make an argument of this with you...and I'll just leave it at that.
