New Computer Case

[Schlup]

Ok, so I have been looking for a new computer case that will give me a little more room and the ability to move more air while being quieter than what I currently have.

Here's the first one...

And here's another one I am looking at...

My requirements are that it is a ATX Full Size Tower Case, no front door, moves alot of air...let me know what you think.

P.S. This is what I have now...

Keep away from that first one, it even makes me look attractive.

I was actually leaning toward that one...remember, it's not about looking good...it's about performance!

Well it sure is not performing in the looks department. javascript:void

[Schlup]

LOL...what does javascript void mean?

Well I think one of my case fans is going out so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the new case.

Congratulations on the new case.

Is you PC currently inside your desk?

[Schlup]

Yes it is...I measured everything out and though I will have to move the shelf for the case it will fit with some room to spare with the exception of the back of it hanging off the shelf which is ok.

I bought that bad boy Sir!  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, beauty is a case temp of 30 degrees celcius when just about everything in there is overclocked!

Just so I know though...why do you think it's ugly?  I think it looks sharp and professional!

[Monkey_Grill]

With your case being inside your desk you could be making your computer hotter. Even though heat will be passing through the back, heat still radiates from case into the desk area. Your case fans are then pulling in that hot air into your case.

See if you get a cooler case temp. by putting it in the open.

Beats me, just saw it there myself

To be honest  it is the entire overall design. The front is ugly, especially that red thing, the sides look unbalanced though more so the left side, the top is ugly and most people I know wind up putting stuff on top of their computers myself included so I don't like the fan on top. Like I said, just ugly as a whole.

[Schlup]

Every part you mentioned that was ugly was associated with one of the 230mm fans.  The red thing in the front is a 230mm fan, another one on the side and another one on top.

My desk is pulled out from the wall and the desk doesn't effect any air going in or out, plus I have a ceiling fan running 24/7 to keep the air circulated inside the room.  I don't think that has anything to do with it.  I think it has to do with having so many large heat producing components all jammed into a small space with air going through but not necessarily good air FLOW.  We shall see when the new case comes in!

Yea but that one I am looking at is not ugly like that one and it has many fans as well and is not even a 1/10 as ugly as that.

[Schlup]

Which one are you looking at again?

It's basically the same case only it's a mid ATX case instead of a full ATX case and the front fan has a blue LED instead of red and it has a front door (which I didn't want) and there is no top fan or rear fan (this case has no exhaust fans) which means you'll have to buy a 120mm exhaust fan for it.  Also, just so you know it's out of stock so if you are wanting this case then hopefully they get some more instock.  Although I can see what you like about it I think we have different ideas of what we want in a case.

Have you guys seen the new Antec 9002 (I think is what it is) Its a super sweeeet case, thinking bought buying one for my next build im doing in about 2 weeks

[Schlup]

Yeah it's actually the 902 or as they call it "nine hundred two".  It's nice but it's just a mid ATX case.  After doing ALOT of research apparently they recommend full ATX cases for gamers and enthusiasts (which I am).  Plus the 902 is a negatively charged case which means that you'd have to figure out a way to add another intake fan or suffer from bad airflow.

Yea it has a lot of options as far as the fans go. As far as the red or blue goes it is the design of where the red light will be coming from that I find ugly, I am not partial to any color and may well disconnect the light anyway as I have problems with glare and my eye which is why my current case sits on the left so the lights do no face me. Oh and I love the cases with the front doors as A. I think they look good and B. They are nice to keep little fingers out of places they should not be. Oh and I thought it was a full case.

[Schlup]

You know, I was just thinking Sir...with the problems you have had with your hands being too big to fit in your computer to do stuff you should definatly get a full size ATX tower.  That would help your problem big time!
