help me decide what to buy in my new computer!

**kris23** · Jun 24, 2008, 03:26 AM

i need you to choose a performance chassis, please select one from the list:

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution SC-830K-KKN3-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - Antec Twelve Hundred Black ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER cosmos S RC-1100-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

these are all top class cases that can cool anything, but if you prefer something else, just browse the egg for a full tower chassis

Stay away from the Antec Twelve Hundred case though. It's too shallow, and you will run into issues with longer video cards. Personally I like the Cooler Master Stacker 830 as they use better quality metal, and you can add whatever fans you want to the side panel (up to 4), or not add any if you so choose.

**kris23** · Jun 24, 2008, 01:49 PM

it does got more fans for the price though and yea, i too prefer the 830

I think should I get a new case anytime soon I will purchase one of those puppies. The build quality and overall cooling looks great. Though I have to say, I love a bottom mounted PSU now, its really great.

**kris23** · Jun 25, 2008, 03:07 AM

which case do you like? the 830? yea it is nice, man what i would give for the one with the smooth door and side panel window.

Syndicate2083 · Jun 25, 2008, 03:38 AM

Yeah that 830 is dead sexy dude. It looks like a serious case thats for sure haha.

well heres THEE Skulltrail system....... a tower with no compromise.....

more power than the extremest of systems and e-penis that dwarfs the planet Earth.....

now i dont expect you to afford this, its just something to drool at as i make a more manageable version.....

but that IS Skulltrail raw and unrestricted, the only one on DH who owns one of these is Zardon himself and the stuff on the list is even faster than his as far as i know...... but knowing him, hes already upgraded to faster than this.....

if you can somehow afford this, you can prettymuch say your system is more powerful than anyone elses......

i got the 832, its similar to that but made for performance rather than looks....... instead of a window, it has an aluminum side mesh on both sides,

the front has some slits for better airflow through the front fan, this thing looks better in my opinion though......

Syndicate2083 · Jun 25, 2008, 04:39 AM

Hm, Ill have to take a look at the 832 then.

Also, your wishlist was a link to a temporary one, so it's empty hehe. (bases it off your account temp list)

its very strong and is unrivaled.......
