OK, So I completed a mini ITX build in Jan last year, which has been running great, all packed into a CM110 (as per my signature). However unfortunately the H80 died recently, and the warranty replacement is an H80i (perfect I thought) - BUT - the tubes on the H80i are MUCH thicker and nowhere near as flexible, so I cant for the life of me get it to fit into the CM110. So - rather than change the build again, I am simply looking to replace the case, what would you recommend? - I need it to fit a full size PSU, 2/3 SSDs, a halfsize GFX card, and the H80i. I was looking at the CM120 or 130, as the footprint space I have on my desk is quite tight. I was previously using a Lian Li PC7B which was great. - but dont really want to have to go back to a midi tower. I may want to upgrade the GFX card at some point, so support for a fullsize GPU would be good. Thanks for your help in advance! Hugh
I have had a 120 and also own a 110. Personally I would be looking at the Thermal take Core V1 as I have one of those also (replaced the 120 with it) I feel its an awesome case, not sure about the H80i but I reckon it could handle it easily. The 120 was okay but not particularly flexible.
Thanks for the feedback crapbag, that looks like a nice case. I can see a few people that have fitted the old H80i in there, but their tubing looks a bit shorter, its definitely a contender! How quiet is the front fan?
Hi Hugh sorry I hadn't noticed your reply. The fan is virtually silent to be honest, I think I have it set that way in the bios and the only thing I hear from sofa sitting distance is when the graphics card feels the need to spin up. I have a Cooler Master Hyper 103 running in mine on an MSI Z87I cooling a G3258 Anniversary edition overclocked to 4.3ghz and it's all pretty quiet.
