Good home for an X2 rig

Don't forget that with any case such as the P180 where the motherboard is installed upside down you can't use a motherboard with a heatpipe for chipset cooling. Rules out motherboards such as the asus a8n-sli premium etc.

The motherboard isn't installed upside-down in the P180. If you have one and have mounted the motherboard upside-down, you may find that this is the reason you can't connect your PCI/PCI-E/AGP cards to anything outside of the case, or plug your mouse & keyboard in . The PSU's at the bottom though, which is why you have to be careful about the length of PSU cables.

In a neat reversal, however, the Silverstone TJ06 does mount the motherboard upside-down, but puts the PSU on the top. Just to be awkward. Although it does mean that Silverstone get the chance to sell you their own PSU cable extension kit: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=204562

Beautiful .

If your looking at the Stacker, take a look at the Armour and the Shark

The Thermaltake/ThermalRock cases, to my eyes just keep getting uglier........they may cool well but they are just too crass for me.

Think should look at Lian li cases - bigger,better built and will hold its money if ever need to sell it.
