    Recommend me two cases...

    ... one for my dualie MP system (arriving shortly).. and one for my Athlon 64 setup

    Two cases (Ive just sold my trusty coolermaster 710).. not mega noisy (I only have a small place).. one needs a PSU.. the other doesn't

    Ive always looked at Chieftec/Antec setups.. but I dunno.. just want something different.. without having to fork out a fortune... as this has been one expensive month!

    Suggestions and thoughts? Needs to have some cooling ability and not tiny cases.. as I have 4 drives in the 64 rig.. and 4 SCSI in the dualie rig

      • Memory:
      • 48GB DDR3 1600 (6 * 8GB)
      • Storage:
      • 1TB 840 Evo + 1TB 850 Evo
      • Graphics card(s):
      • 290X
      • PSU:
      • Antec True Power New 750W
      • Case:
      • Cooltek W2
      • Operating System:
      • Windows 10
      • Monitor(s):
      • Dell U2715H
    Hmmm...

    Difficult one really. In terms of what I've seen then a Lian Li (PC60 or PC70 if the dual mobo won't fit in the PC60) or one of the mid or full tower Antec cases would seem to be ideal. They're all based around 80mm fans though so unless you change the fans on the Lian Li or 7V them they won't be really quiet... I've been trying to find a decent case that uses 120mm fans for a while... A few options - Antec Sonata, Antec Super Lanboy (2nd version - pretty ugly IMHO) or the Chenbro Gaming Bomb which has a 120mm exhaust fan but only a 92mm intake...

    that's a wise choice shorty... The PC70 is a great case for either systems. I'd personally put the dualies in it since there is tons of room. For your other case i'd suggest a Chieftec BX I've just finished writing a review for one. Lovely case and a reasonable price tag. £45 on ebuyer.

    The BX was what I was originally looking at

    Il wait for your review.. but I know the PC70 is a killer case.. specially for a dualie rig
