A good overclocking Case?

kaisellgren · Mar 16, 2008, 12:31 PM

Hi,

I have a budget of max 60€ (or $90) to spend on a overclocking case. I have E2160 to be overclocked to at least 3 GHz and likely more higher and I need good air flow. Any suggestions are welcome!

I agree. I have a CM 690 and it's an excellent mid tower. Comes with 3-120mm fans (front, back & side) and if that is not enough, up to 5 additional fans can be installed for increased ventilation: 2-120/140mm on top, 1-120/140mm on bottom, an 80mmx15mm on the right side (provides air under the mobo), and a second 120/140mm on the left side. Decent cable management and tool-less drive bays and expansion slots for under $57. Securemart.com -- Cooler Master CM-690 Chassis - Tower 5 x External, 5 x Internal - Black

Old cereal box with duct tape. Feeds you for a month and you can blow the rest on a desk fan to keep the machine cool after you place it on the cardboard box.
