    sharkoon rebel 9 value

    I know it's a rather cheap case but I want one which will provide me with better airflow. I currently have little airflow in my case at the moment, but I'm relying on air cooling and my 4 case fans don't seem to be doing much.

    anygood compared to what I've got now?

    well the sharkoon will have better airflow but you could just buy some more powerful fans for your crrent case it has enough fan slots to have decent cooling you probably just got crap stock fans

    I added 3 decent case fans, it's just that the fans I've got blowing the air in at the front are effectively stopped from moving the air uptowards the CPU because of the 8800gts. I really need to able to get the air to enter the case higher up at the front.

    I quite like the look of the outside of the sharkoon case, the inside looks typical budget case though, but the sharkoon should offer much better cooling than the Asus.

    Can any one recommend a case that can provide very good airflow for less than £50?

    you could build a case out of mesh....... great airflow then might struggle with ability to hold its own weight.

    I think the best thing you can do to get those temps down is to take off both side panels cut a big hole put some nice mesh in and problem solved for less the £10 and about 2hours work
