maybe i should take a picture of my computers inside just to show you how stuffed everything is...
but i think i'll just stick with the 2.8 overclock for now and then i could do some more serious cooling when i build a new sytem.

I know what you mean.

(My old rig)



you got lots of space  Wink my one is even more stuffed than that(will post a pic in about 8-10 hours, cuz im still in school now  Cheesy)

my camera isnt working, i think its broke  Angry
all i can say is that the case i have is a special one where the psu is in the front bottom, and because of that my gtx 260 was too long so the cooler for the psu couldnt be there(fixed by making own cooler and then mounted it to the side).
so now i know that the next time i'm going to buy a case, it will one from a more known brand and which doesnt has a built in psu.(probably a big tower)

You should definetly go with a full tower, its great to have so much room. A few good cases are the HAF 932, ATCS 840, and Antec 1200.

Or the Storm Sniper. Also good, if not as big. Personally I'm not a fab of the 1200, but I digress.

i've actually seen some reviews of the HAF 932, seems like a nice case + it's not that expensive Smiley i stumbled upon it while i was looking for parts for my third build(which i probably wont make this year, due to financial issues)

Depends on your opinion of the cases. I would be willing to be the all-black version with a side fan, since it would suit my needs very well and I prefer the looks.

well the storm sniper costs a bit more than the HAF 932(at least on the site i'm looking at), so if there arent any big/important differences, why not just go with the HAF?

Well, I like it better. It suits all my needs. Yes it's a bit more money with little more or even a bit less in features, bit I'm okay with that because it does exactly what I want and looks great doing it.

i guess sometimes it hard to choose between performance and looks. I personaly prefer performance since no one else than me is going to look at my computer, so in the end looks really dont matter to me(but having a nice looking case isn't bad  Wink)

i thought you were supposed to look at the screen  Wink but i get your point, and a case that performs well but is butt-ugly isn't nice.

Not that the 932 is, but I prefer the sniper. The fan controler and LED power button are nice for me too since it's in my room and I keep it on overnight to fold.

never ment that the HAF 932 was ugly...in anycase, they are both good looking and have nice features, but i'll think and wait for when the times comes for me to make a new build, and then i'll decide what to go for.

Dam, those are some massive quotes...

Anyway... I've always thought the Storm Sniper looked kind of cheap.

Storm Sniper


If you want to stay in the mid tower size I'd go with the Storm Scout

Storm Scout



But even better is to just go and get a Full Tower because you'll never be held back due to your case being to small.
