Best Cooling Case for less than £100

[Marcvs]

Hi,

I was wondering if you good people at hexus could advise me on the case with the best cooling at around or under £100 - £75 or less is preffered;


The case MUST have excellent cooling and fit an 8800GTX with an nf 680i mobo.

Thanks

antec 900 but im not 100% on the 8800gtx part, but i expect so.

[Marcvs]

that was one of the ones I was looking at - if i can I might get the lianli a10 as that looks ot be pretty good bu it is more expensive

Apparently the antec 900 - (reviewed here http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7507 )

Will struggle to fit in an 8800

But that is if you are crazy enough to live with the bizarre design of it
Put a few more lights in a a380 and it is your own chaved up citron saxo in your bedroom.

it looks a bit odd - that is my only gripe

Akasa Eclipse, a couple of Sahrkoon 2000 fans and you will be sorted, the other option would be to go for the Antec P180 but from personal experience I would say the Eclipse is the better bet.

any of those 3 any good

The Thermaltake Armour is probably the best of the 3 - I'd still be tempted by an Eclipse/Mirage62 from Akasa though...

I'd avoid that one. I've read about problems with their cases but not sure if that particular model is affected.

Another vote for the Eclipse/Mirage.

So as the air that's taken in can only be @ ambient temperature, the case does such a good job, that the air it throws out is sub-ambient? Right...

Go Lian-li. Whatever you can afford. They make great, deep cases, and all-but-guaranteed to fit an 8800GTX in. Short of that, get a non-HTPC Silverstone.

Yet another vote for the Akasa Eclipse 62.
This case is such a joy to work with. It just has so much space and offers great cooling to boot.
At 78 quid from Scan too I don't see how you can go wrong.

i was looking at a coolermaster Centurin 532 - and then ill replace it with a lian li A10 when i got a bit more case (basically when I build someone in my familys PC!
