Been toying with replacing my aging Antec 900 for a while, and since GPU is sorted I felt I may look into case when paid in a months time :juggle: *pushes luck with gf now*
I fancy something like the Li-Lan cases but with good cooling for a OC'd system, BFG 8800GTS and all my other stuff you get in case.
Curious what is the best from the rubbish out there :D you chaps know your stuff so come impress me some more :D
i dont think there is anything wrong with the antec 900 tbh mate its a damned good case, if yours is in good nick i may swipe it off you! (even though i did just rewire the cables in mine the other day :()
If you really do wanna case change then my personal favourites are
Coolermaster Cosmos
Antec P182
Although there are a few around that look pretty nice...
Filtered Case List @ Scan
Really only considering I may build into a cube I was donated a while back, a Ying Lang thing I got.
sure the mobo will fit?
If you are looking for an alternative to a traditional computer case then take a look at the Thermaltake Mozart TX. It has loads of room and excellent cooling. It is a monster tho:

Ebuyer are doing CoolerMaster RC 831 Colour Mesh versions at £80 inc delivery at the mo', don't know if that's of any help... :mexican:
I have taken a shine to the two following cases.
Thermaltake VA8003SWA Aluminium Armour Super Tower - Silver
Thermaltake VA8003SWA Aluminium Armour Super Tower
Which looks great, well built and seems to have good cooling.
And this
Coolermaster Stacker 830 Evolution - Nvidia Special Edition (No PSU)
The Nvidia Coolermaster Stacker.
OK if you like sitting next to a wind tunnel I s'pose. ;)
Why not wait for the new Antec 1200? :mrgreen:
Depends what your budget is I guess. Not to mention space considerations. I've got a Thermaltake Kandalf, it's got great cooling, not quite as pricey as the top range stuff and pretty well built. Although the aesthetics are somewhat subjective. If you're going for the high end, of course there's Lian Li (like the A71 or V series) and Silverstone are worth a look (I see rave reviews about the TJ07...costs 200 quid though!)
I'd max about £150, thats if the lad who is buying my Wavemaster case and old gpu etc turns up to supliment my limited spending money.
Well in that case I'd go for either the Thermaltake Kandalf or Armour if you like the look of them. That said I don't have any experience with the Stacker. Both cases are highly regarded though.
Thanks, really lovin the Li-Lan P80... massivly expensive though...
First of all its a Lian Li lolQuote:

Also the stacker is just way too deep!
I may end up saving for longer for the P80, it just has all that I am after.
Isnt there a smaller p60?
My issue with my Antec 900 is space, it's getting damn crampt in there with all my stuff,and this week I'm adding a bigger gpu aswell.
Is the P60 alot bigger or just a little bit? over the Antec 900 I mean?
go with the lian li pc-a70 those cases are superb in every wahy. if u have the money go for the pc-80 one which is a MONSTER with 3 YES 3 120mm fans attached to the front DOOR! you also have TWO huge 140mm at the top of the case.
