honestly, reading this gave me a headache... i know Shnitzel all about computers.. i only care that mine runs fast...

Why dont you start a topic or thread which will allowed people to post there computer systems etc, and pictures if they wish to show what people are running? and maybe give tips and stuff on parts that could be improved at little cost ?

just an idea.

looks shiney on the outside but the internal layout is Shnitzel and the cooling is Shnitzel.

BTW make sure ur power supply has a 12cm fan and it can be mounted upside down

The gigabyte/asus models are good, but i think the EVGA boxs include extra stuff dont they?
Its all about personal preference too, I have EVGA GTX280 in SLi never had a problem and awesome OC potential.

ok counter ill ask for your guidance again i want to try a brand of case besides antec for a change what do you suggest??

Full Member Posts : 93 Rep : 0 Join date : 2009-06-09

hey i learnt the hard way when i fried a thousand dolla 9800gx2 in my antek 900.

most cases can be good. what u need is a front fan that pushed air in and and a rear fan pushing air out with an unobstructed air flow throungh the case.

Ive become an antek fan lately. They have really good air flow with extraction fans in the top. Ive got the 1200 and it has neat removable filters in for the front fans. gotta cool 9 hard drives somehow.

Stick with the known gaming brands ie antek, thermaltake, lian le and a very few of the coolermasters.

Didnt mean to rain on ur parade, it was a good looking case

Nah its all good bud. I aint the fighting type like sinno lol. I like input to see what is good since i only know the few good brands. Was curious on how it would go since some people say they are good but some of those people have put the liquid cooling in them.

Subject: Re: My new toy Thu Sep 17, 2009 2:55 am

Yeah i love my Antec 902 with the dust filters keeps my rig clean and all the fans keep it cool Very Happy

.

Subject: Re: My new toy Thu Sep 17, 2009 5:00 am

yeah i got the 900 too, only problem is the Graphics card are too long so i cant put in HDD where the GPU is!!! hehe its cool, i have the HDD on the bottom racks.

I HATE my power supply though, i got the 750W corsair modular, But when i got home IT WASNT MODULAR!!!! it looks like someone opened a can of SPAGBOG in my case!!! looks a bit "schnitzel". Still good airflow even WITH all the cables in there.

It seems that the Raven RV02 has additional fans and i was told that my Antec Truepower 750W should be fine for it as well.

What do people think?? It seems to have better air flow that the previous Raven.

Subject: Re: My new toy Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:52 am

My main concern with the design is that your graphics card will be at the top of the case acting as a top exhaust fan which will rise the temps and decrease your overclocking headroom. Other than that it looks good mate nice side window dust filters and plenty of room for 3 way 285 SLI one day. Also you will have to make sure your PSU cords are long enough to reach from all the way down the bottom.

I reckon the heat wont be that bad since the cool air will probably move it through faster being 3 fans at the bottom. Was talking to umart about the length of the cabling and they said anything of the truepower series works inside them.

I also found out last night i will be doing some overhauling of mobo, cpu and RAM after i pay off my graphics card.

Subject: Re: My new toy Thu Sep 17, 2009 8:34 am

Really what u getting? wooops didn't realize there were 3 fans on the bottom.
