Hey

Looking to make a new computer for game/other use and I was looking at these possible computer cases. What I am looking for is somthing that will keep cool, is not too expensive, and can stay with me while I upgrade. Some durablity is also important.

SilverStone TJ-06 Wind Tunnel With Window

Any suggestions, of these or if you have some other choices dont hesitate.

Thanks a lot

Which case is best for cooling, will keep it cool. Is the LL warrior good?

Also does anyone else have reccomendations of similar good cases, that will keep it cool, for cheaper or near my price level.

Thanks for the help

I have the Thermaltake Armor (VA8000BWS) and I think it's great! It's great for cooling and it's huge. It comes with drive rails and four fans standard (2x120 blue LED, 2x90). Here's a link ot the manufacturer's site for more info:

When I bought mine a few months ago, it cost $150. There's several different variations available: black or silver, steel or aluminum, window or no window.

Also take a look at the Thermaltake Tsunami:

...I probably sound like I work for Tt, but I don't. I just happen to like some of their cases.

Make sure you look for reviews for any case you're considering buying before you buy it. And try to find people that own the case and ask them. The Antec P180 got glowing reviews. But, after working on my friend's computer, I can't stand the thing!

Out of the three you listed, I think the Warrior is the best, despite the garish blue LED fans. I was thinking about the Silverstone before I bought my case, but I didn't like the upside-down design (even if it is good for cooling).

temjin-06 for me... best interior AND exterior design... and a very nice price... the tunnel thing might need a bit of modding or maybe just ripping out altogether... but you'd still have your massive intake/exhaust

i agree, i've been wating one for a while now.....there have been some campatability issues with the indtunnel unvolving the placement of the RAM, but the wind tunnel can easily be modded...

and the hard drives are mounted verticly, and some say that kills the drives, and others say it doesn't do anything to em.......please clarify this... wink.gif
