    What are the Atx Isotope cases like for room and cooling?

    Well it's gotten a little cramped in my Antec 900 lately and I'm going to buy another 2 x 500gb HD's soon as I'm getting a 42" 1920 x 1080 Sharp Aquos Lcd in 2 weeks and will need the extra storage to store Hi-Def movies on. I'm currently using a 32" Teco Lcd @ 1366 x 768. I was thinking of buying the Themaltake Armour Plus but read on the net my cpu hsf (Theralright Ultra Extreme 120) does'nt fit inside with the 25cm fan fitted on the side. Some people have fitted the fan on the outside of the case or hacked away at part of the fan but I'm not prepared to do any of these. I was thinking of putting a little extra money to and buying one of the Atx Isotopes from Scan but I don't know what they are like inside for space and cooling. I really like the look of these case and they are different so as long as my rig components fit inside and cooling isn't an issue I think I'll get one. I see they have room for 2 x 80mm fans, Scan do pre built systems with these Isotopes so surely cooling and airflow must be good. Does anybody have one of these or know if my components will fit inside, what are they like for temps?

    My Spec is:-

    Q6600(B3) @ 3.2, 1.4v
    XFX MB-N780I-ISH9 Tri Sli
    4gb Geil Ultra DDR2 PC6400
    2 x 320gb WD AAKS in Raid 0 (another 2 x 500gb HD's to be added at a later date)
    Xfi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard
    Sony/Nec Optiarc Dvd/rw
    2 x Bfg 8800gt OC 512mb in Sli
    Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 CPU HSF with 120mm fan attached
    Corsair Dominator Ram cooler
    OCZ 600SXS StealthXStream 600W PSU
    My current case also has another 4 x 120mm fans fitted beside the one on the cpu hsf.

    Thanks

    Question answered by Scan tech support very quickly. Airflow not as good as Antec, I'm going to have a look at the Coolermaster Stacker 830/831's.

    Yes that was myself who answered that one actually - I try to get all the OLQ's done before I hit hexus running at full speed

    Anyway, I hope the information helped biut I'll just like to add that it is a bit limited in space inside as you cannot use the dominator memory due to space constraints.

    Best Regards,
