Cases

[Jaemian]

I'm looking to buy a brand new gaming rig and am currently looking at the newer cases. My past 2 computers had pretty terrible cooling with my graphics card idling at 60 degrees most of the time. Currently looking at a complete air cooling solution as I am not confident to dabble in water cooling. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Lian Li PC-7H

Personally, I would prefer the 7HA silver one.

I have no budget, but would prefer it to be <$200 range.

I'm personally saving up for this; Antec P280 white window ($189 from PCT pricelist)

I think it's very subjective when it comes to choosing a casing. Some like aggressive styling like the CM Haf series, some might like minimalist casing like Fractal Design cases..etc etc.
I usually look through the pricelist, list down those within my budget and google each of them to see if they suit my taste/needs.

Since you're not going for watercooling you don't really need to pay attention to radiator compatibility. And I'd choose those with built-in, and easy to clean dust filters.

Just my opinion.

Well... Sharkroon T28. S$89. Should be more then enough. Unless you don't like generic looking casing.

I got the antec one s3. Reviews say it's a very good case for its price, and has good cooling.

Sorry to TS, OT a little bit...

All I want from the new case is to have a removable motherboard tray on a mid-tower, can fit the longest graphics cards in market, can have room to fit an E-ATX or larger motherboard if needed, full aluminum and not inverted... Guess wait long long also do not have....sigh~

Best possible matched for me are still the old cases buy second hand...

How does the front fan of the 350D work?

How does the front fan of the 350D work?

the sides and btm are open-air, so they take air frm that area, since the front is blocked...
