case with good cooling spots?

stormshaman · 10-June-03, 02:56 PM

I will be getting an epox 8rda+ and JIUHB 1700+ soon, OC, and i need a certain type of case. I originally was going with the X-Dreamer but then i saw the price. what i need is a case with room for at least one or two fans in front, either 2 80mm or one 120mm on the back (120mm definately prefered) and then i might make a 92mm or 120mm blowhole but mainly the problem is the 120mm on back and enough ventilation in front (most cases have just vents that go to the side on the front)

What price range, brother hoe? Give us that, and we can give you some better advice...

well, i have actually seen cheapo cases for under $30 USD, but no fan holes on those and they were mini towers. for this mid tower i am aiming for under $60 or maybe even $55

the Antec solution series SLK3700 comes with 1 120mm exhaust fan, and has a spot for a 120mm intake fan.
only prob is it's around $73, but it might be worth a look.

EDIT: it also has an Antec 350w PSU

Go to http://www.newegg.com and use their search engine. You can put in your price range and start there.

hrmmm i picked up a good mid-tower off newegg for about 30 bucks. it has room for 2 80mm fans on back, one 80 up front (which i modded to a 120mm) and a 120mm on the side panel, its nice and roomy with 7 bays total...

let me look for it.... Its the same case Clown has for his "sonic Rain" give me a few minutes

oh and preferably it will come with either no PSU making it that much cheaper, or a 400W PSU, making it that much more $$$

stormshaman · 11-June-03, 02:33 AM

because i am not sure if a 350 can run a mobo, OC'd chip, 2 HDDs, 1 FDD, 2 CDs, and fans (1 TMD, 1-2 120mm, 1-2 80mm)
