SpeedCrazy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Some 7 year old generic biege thing with 2 80mms and a low power 120mm no wire management and only 3 hdd cages 4 5.25 bays. Case has a bunch of dead spots as far as air movement goes. Plus i have drilled the front bezel full of holes to try and let more air in.

dihartnell Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Can recomend the HAF X (some people hate the looks). Fits D14 with ease, has side fans, very quiet, good for water cooling (going to be trying that soon), great cable management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Idk what your comment means but, i dont think i could fit either noctua in my case but i could just cram the frio in i think. I was wondering, if i upgraded to a case with better air circulation(would be nice to have a quieter and neater case) and stuck some high power fans (currently my exhaust fans) on my cooler with the supplied brackets, would it improve my cpu and gpu temps? Then i would be able to spend a bit more as it is a longterm investment. Â The simple answer to this question - Absolutely! A case with good air flow will improve both your cpu and gpu temps. And with a "7yr old biege thing" you will prob see a big difference with a new case and drastically improved air flow! Also, like you said a new case is a long-term investment, so choose a good case now, and 7yrs, and 2 system upgrades down the road, you can have a "7yr old black thing" I say go with the new case, see what your temps look like and decide on the cooler from there, if money is an issue. If not, get the new case and jump all over tropical's deal on the DH14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I was trying to get all over tropicals deal but he still has not responded so i think i will go with the case idea. What case would you recommend? As i said i love the haf x but i will seriously look at anything with good air flow. So i need the best airflow for the dollar now. If money was no issue i would forgo this conversation and pick up the Lian Li PC-V2120. But i cant really go over $200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihartnell Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 HAF X NZXT Phantom (I like the white one) Antec DF85 Antec Lanboy (the case is modular and can be reconfigured different ways). Â Â All under $200.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielT Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Nice but i need a full tower. How bout a huge mid tower like the Lian Li K62? Those have wonderful cooling and lots of room. Not bad price either. <3 my K58 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
