Default Cases: Anetc VS ThermalTake

Im putting together a new rig whit a cuad core q6600 on a EVGA LGA775 nForce 680i SLI and a Evga 8800 ultra.... On my current case a thermaltake tsunami, I had to remove the hdd cage in order to fit the ultra, and i would like to get a different case for my new config... The only option I have found here in my country is the antec nine hundred, its a bit expensive, but cheaper than lets say a TT armor Jr.... so any one thinks this will be a better case for my new config? I guess ill have a great air flow, but will be less cramped than the tsunami???


Cheers.


Miguel

What you need is a "Full Tower" sized case...your Tsunami is a "Mid Tower" sized chassis.

The Armor Jr. is a mid sized case too I believe.

The Antec 900 is probably a full size tower case and should do the job realy well..your CPU and video card will appreciate the extra airflow especially when it gets hot outside.

We cannot easily tell what your availabe options are in your country since most of us don't live there...got any links to a local retailer or online reseller?

EDIT..the Antec 900 is another mid sized tower case..no better than what you have now size wise!

Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

EDIT 2:
Here is a link to Newegg..maybe you will see a case you can get in your country.

I have selected full size tower cases between 100$ and 200$, they have great "Sorting" options if you choose the advanced mode on the left...it can help you narrow things down.

To start over..just click on "Computer Cases" near the top of the page and you will see all the available options.

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!=

Well after more research I'm getting the armor case, is basically the same as the other and I like the front better.

Cheers.

I have the Armor myself..it's a great case, your gonna love it!

I will probably get this 250MM side fan for it..it came out after I got the case.

Newegg.com - Thermaltake A2356 Case Side Panel with 25cm Fan - Retail



Over here in the states, you can get them with the case, I don't know why they don't caeey them at your store, but if you look around at other places you might be able to find somone that does...

It realy drops the temps in the case (3-5c) and is nearly slient since it turns at a low 800RPM.
