kennyb2142 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone, alright. I was wondering for the case should I get Antec Twelve Hundred or the Cooler Master Haf 932. I plan on Water cooling the CPU and that's about it, since I'm new at building computers I don't want to jump into water cooling. Here are the specs: 1 x Samsung SH-S223F/BEBS 22X Speed Plus Black SATA DVD Writer OEM - $39.28 1 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB Hard Drive OEM 3YR MFR Warranty - $100.58 1 x Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W ATX12V 20/24PIN Quad SLI Modular Power Supply Active PFC 8PIN PCI-E - $431.66 1 x Antec Twelve Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 1200 ATX 12 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 Audio eSATA - $202.92 2 x Radeon HD 4870 X2 750MHZ 2GB GDDR5 3.6GHZ PCI-E Dual DVI-I *Systems Only - 1YR NCIX Warranty* - $1,522.92 1 x Corsair XMS3 TR3X6G1600C9 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24 I7 Triple Channel Memory Kit - $388.60 1 x ASUS P6T X58 Deluxe ATX LGA1366 DDR3 LGA1366 3PCI-E16 PCI-E4 CrossFire SLI SATA2 SAS Motherboard - $399.99 1 x Asetek LCLC PRE-FILLED CPU Liquid Cooling Kit CPU Block Pump 120MM Radiator AM2 Mounting - $114.99 /Nope 1 x Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro LGA775 2500RPM 45CFM - $31.62 /Unsure 1 x Intel Core I7 940 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.93GHZ Bloomfield 8MB LGA1366 4.8GT/S - $799.99 You probably noticed that I have the Antec in there right now, but should I change. Are there any sugestions? and will it all work with their counterparts? By the way if you guys want to help me save money it would be greatly appreciated, I put the prices beside the names.. I'm at $4,015 right now, without the $500 monitor I want. Oh, and I live in Canada Edit: How about Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima Plus Complete System Liquid Cooling Kit (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=34665&vpn=H20-220%20APEX%20ULTIMA%20PLUS&manufacture=Swiftech) Thanks -Kenny Edited November 28, 2008 by kennyb2142 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexvision Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 the watercooling system wont work, it needs a LGA 1366 attachement not an AM2 one. Sorry I cant help more but I've never used water b4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbo191 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Get the Antec 900 case and you will not have to water cool unless you are going to over clock the heck out of your computer. The air flow on that case keeps everything nice and cold. The 1200 is a little overkill and you will need a power supply with long cables to reach everything. Good luck and think twice about the 1200. Do you really need it? The 900 is on sale right now for black friday for $59 with free shipping. Thats a steal.

Are you talking about the 1200 watt power supply? or the case? and the Antec 900 is on sale? or the 900 watt power supply, becuase with two of the cards I want, I am going to need over 1000Watts >.> I plan on overclocking them in the future But yeah, get the Antec 900? or do you have a whole other case that I have not thought about you could recommend? Price is not a problem Edited November 28, 2008 by kennyb2142 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbo191 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Kenny, I was talking about the case. The Antec 900. And yes you will need a powerful power supply to run two graphics cards..So the 1200watt would be more than enough.
