Hey Tom, this is my second time to ask you for help and I'm seriously in so much need for your help right now. I decided to build my own computer after 2 years or research and I made my final decision on all the parts except for the case so in your opinion what case should I get; the Corsair 800D (3 exhaust/intake fans at the top), the CoolerMaster HAF X, the Lian Li Armorsiut PC-P80, the Silverstone TJ07. I'll be getting the new powerful motherboard, the ASUS Rampage III Extreme Black Edition.

@TheEDZKIEZ probs the haf from that list

[marchen1011]

I just ordered the case and I got a few questions. I've got a NH-D14, atm Im thinking that when I get the case I should make the rear fan intake, put in a few exausts at the top and turn the NH-D14 upwards. What do you think? Also, I was wondering how you think the fans perform compared to other silent fans like Fractal or Noctua fans?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@marchen1011 dont have the noctua upwards or it will pull hot air off your GPU. Youll have to experiment with fan layout as this is a really bad air case imho.

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@sebs30v so IM meant to be a sheep and follow what you think is right? Stop being a chicken and do what you thinks right not what your told to do.

What is your favorite water cooling case at the moment?

[xPyroxx]

I was interested in what he was saying, until the little 'tch' after everytime he swallowed began to piss me off. I lasted for 2 minutes before it became too annoying.

[MrHungryHungryHarry]

If anybody knows whether that case would be good for a 360mm rad in the top pulling air out and the rest normal. Maybe with the rear exhaust flipped but other than that stock could you let me know?

@redeemer777 no... Lian li pc-p80n THAT rules if u can afford it ;)

[razzp25]

@TheEDZKIEZ I know its long overdue but def lian li! Its aluminium dont absorb heat like all the other cabs

[Solvargen]

I bought this to my new computer and I actually have no problem with heat. My cpu is watercooled but my two powercolor radeon 6950 are only fancooled. I installed three 120 mm fans at the top to suck the air out of the chassi and replaced the corsair 140 mm fan at the bottom (air-intake) with a noctua 140 mm fan. My graphic-cards idle at 33 degrees celcius and when I have been playing BF3 for some hours the cards only comes up to about 50 degrees.

[ElitePokerPlayer]

it needs a 120MM fan fabricated on the glass on the side. That should take care of that problem
