I'm struggling to choose a good case for my build. It needs to house 4HDDs, 2x GTS 250, full ATX board with an audio card in between GPU's and The Corsair H50. I need on 120mm on the back, some fans at the freont and prefferably at the top as well. Best if aluminium, but as silent as possible. I also need at least 3 x 5.25" at the front. Could someone point me to some good e-tailer? I'm seriously stuck and I need to buy one this Friday. Thanks.
Coolermaster Cosmos S. Brushed aluminium and a very substantial case with enough room everything you want. Right up against your limit though... http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Cool...osmos-S-(Sport)-Black-Full-Tower-Case-w-o-PSU
Antec P183? I've got the predecessor, the 182. Only complaint is space for full-length graphics cards (like my GTX 260) depending on where the power sockets are, but good sound insulation, decent heat dispersal & solid.
Thanks, but I need something bigger. Had the mini version of this series, good, but I want better cooling and space. As for the Cosmos. Ph4ZeD, I am thinking about that too. I see you have one, could you advise me on it's day to day noise levels. I presume inside is very spacious as it's a full tower case.
The inside is indeed extremely spacious, I could never go back to the smaller cases. Even with full length cards such as a 9800 GX2 which I had in there, there was plenty of room against the end of the card and the hard drive area. I wouldn't say the case is especially quiet or noisy, depending on the fan setup. It doesn't have the extensive vibration dampening of cases such as the Fractal but I don't find it noisy compared to other cases. The nosiest component in my case is my Fenrir, my 260 GTX is virtually unhearable. You have a H50 cooler so that should be quieter.
The coolermaster cosmos is huge you could live in that, I've got a coolermaster stacker not as big but has 7 120 fans and houses my SLI system with loads of space left.
lian li b25f got some really good reviews http://www.ksn-online.co.uk/cases-lian-b25fb-aluminium-chassis-black-p-7886.html or the cooler master cosmos 1000 which i think looks better than the cosmos S it is also a bit smaller http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Cool...lent-Aluminium-Full-Tower-Case-w-o-PSU-NEW-V2!
Lian li b25f is a very good case and build quality is stunning but i found it noisy. I have a fractal R2 and it is very quiet. Not very spacious tho but it can hold 8hdd and handle any graphics card. i also have a Corsair H50. i have some pics of the build in my profile.
