Hi all,
I am planning on building a pc for the first time. The probable setup would be : Q6600, X38 based mobo (when available next month), 2GB DDR2 RAM, 2x 500GB HD in raid, 2900XT or 8800 GTS.
I want a quiet and cool case (for overclocking) thats built to last, suitable for upgrading and easy to use (as this is new for me). After reading many reviews this has led me to these 5 cases (2 air cooled and 3 water cooled) and what I see as the pros and cons:
Cooler Master Cosmos; pros - quiet, but average cooling
Antec P190; pros - quiet, inclused PSU, but average cooling
Thermaltake Tai Chi; pros - included good water cooling, supports BTX, removable mobo panel
Thermaltake Kandalf LCS (with 25cm fan side panel); pros - included excellent water cooling, supports BTX
Gigabyte 3D Mercury; pros - included water cooling but average cooling, very easy to use with water cooling all pre-installed, best looking case but most expensive.
Prices are similar (except for the gigabyte which is perhaps the easiest to use).
Does anyone have any experience of these case/recommendations?
Thanks
