Suggest a new case

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 4:06 pm

Looking at taking all the stuff in my sig below and putting it in another case perhaps that lays on its side to get the video cards upright so the heat is pulled up away from each other besides into the other one. Also keep in mind that I'll soon upgrade the video cards to dual 7900's when they are released plus a upgrade in PS to the pc power and cooling turbo cool 850 SSI instead of the 510 I currently have. dimensions are 5.9"x 3.4" 9.1"mm of the 850 for reference.

Basically i'm just looking for a much more slick lookin case with the ability to have components on the bottom so heat willl rise off the whole thing rather than onto other components.

I love that case. But its not a serious suggestion because you need to really know your cable length.

Sadly a sideways case wont help as mush in reality as it would in theory.

nice suggestions..but i don't want another tower.. remember "lays on its side" lol

mainly for heat to rise off everything rather from one item to another.. I've researched case after case so far in a tower and regardless how good they say they are for heat removal ..we all know heat rises so why not get a case that lays on its side and have two exhaust fans right in the top? But also enough room to run all wires good and neat away if not under the mobo or something.. the one I have now is almost impossible to run the amount of wires it has so I dont' think I'll go for another with controls like it has.

but so far the one snuf posted is the one i'm looking at.

That case still moves air from front to back.

well I haven't got one yet.. but I know what your saying.. still a side laying case will by just physics allow the heat to rise on its own..plus a fan or two on the top to pull it up and out.. also I'm sure they have them with one in the front and back to do the "front to back" airflow your talking about..

besides this one

I can't find any others that do the same.. note the dual fans on the top back with the ones on the front and back..i'm just worried about PS size when I go to that 900watter.

ok fixed it.. same one that Scott had posted before.. the Liam case.. I like the one you posted cept it doesn't have the dual fans like the other one has to pull that warm air off the mobo and whatever faster than just the air lifting.

You may have already seen it, but THG is doing an HTPC series. Here's a nice sampling of desktops.

naw I read into some pros and cons of that case again that I was lookin at and some of the cons said that people had issues fitting in a High end video card.. and thats my whole reason in getting that type so the heat from them won't drift up into another on top.. they will just expand the heat up away from each other. Hell I'm almost temped to just sit the motherboard on my desk on a pc of cardboard and plug it in.

Look at teh Silverstone Temjin cases, they flip the motherboard around so that the heatsink on the video card is on the top side. PSU is separated too.

comes in black or silver
120mm intake
120mm exhaust
92mm side
all fans have dust covers,removable mobo tray, intrusion detection system, keylock, tooless drive bays,etc.

my next case....

nice but not what i'm lookin for.. needs to be on its side with top fans for exhaust this way the video cards which will be 7900's will also fit and just let the heat rise off them rather than being in a tower and the heat from the bottom one raise up into the top one..

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 11:46 am

ehh I reckon I'll look at towers... all the side cases I looked at either don't have enough room for the 7900's or have the PS mounted inside and this one I have kicks out some warm air out the back of it so that would just defeat a purpose.

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 6:21 pm

any thoughts on this one?
