Good afternoon all. I am looking to change my pc case from my existing Coolermaster Stacker 831 to something a little less conspicuous as it is making its way into the living room. I am looking at something that will be able to house my existing hardware prior to me looking to just to a newer mobo, cpu, ram setup (which may be a while as it is performing admirably at present). Aesthetically I am looking for something like an HTPC case that will also offer suitable cooling for what I know is a relatively hot running setup. If you could offer up any advice I would be very appreciative.
These are great by Lian Li. My friend has one, and although it gets quite hot in a LAN situation he really likes it. If you want something at the lower end of the price spectrum you could get a cooler master 361. I have the 360 as a HTPC case at my parents place. Its OK, but needs a few fan upgrades to get it working really. I know what you mean about wanting a lower profile case, I upgraded to a Fractual Design R3, and the R4 is getting really good reviews. Its much nicer having a case thats not to in your face. I do miss the window though.
Specification is per signature. so ATX and i dont know the size of the psu at present. budget is up to £120-ish
Wrong thread per chance Lance? On topic and you'll probably want something quiet, for which a Nanoxia Deep Silence One is brilliant, not that small, but inconspicuous and very quiet.
