8800 GTX Computer Case recommendations?

[airtj]

Just wondering what kind of case would be better for the GTX 8800? I have an old Antec case that doesn't get enough air flow through it. Thanks for the advice!

All I have to say is lucky *******...my power supply has enough cables for 6 hard drives...alot of tie wrapping

As for case, not sure (my Dad, HP Engineer builds my PC's for me. Try searching Fry's web site. Last time I checked out one of their stores they had some monster cases at good prices)

I have an Ultra tower that stays pretty cool with an E8400 C2D CPU, 4 Gb of DDR2 RAM, 2 HDs, 1 DVDRW, a 600W PSU and a GT8800 GFX card.

Mind you there are SIX fans in it!

I use a Cooler Master 690. Its a mid tower, but it is a joy to work in and round. Lots of options for extra fans and where you can put cables.

I second this nomination. It was the nicest case I have ever used for a home built. My video is a Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 (similar in size).

That case of yours should have good air flow..What is that strapped to the bottom front???


If you would recable that case and get the things stuffed into a front bay that are extra you will find it runs much cooler..Cables restrict air flow big time..


What are all your temps now??? CPU Graphics


I find the best case is the ..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133021 I have two of them and have built more with it..


The newer HAF is great too ! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119160

I found out the best thing to do on buying a case is to buy the biggest one you can afford. It is always better to have a bigger case than needed it will always come in handy when ya need more space.....kinda like a garage...it is never big enough...lol...Mike

I have built two computers using this case and I like it too. Plenty of room with cable stays and fans. I love the way they put drive screws along the drive box. Never have to search for a screw that will fit.

The 3.5in drive bay set up is easy to use and a joy.

Your own case is plenty big enough....but you really need to route the cabling out of sight. That mass of wiring is severly restricting the airflow in the case.

Theres a thread on avsim about this....

If you have money to spend and want a high quality case look at the Silverstone TJ10 series

Same here, and my 8800GTX fits perfectly into it.

You could still move the HDDs up into the drive bays and thus out of the way. Adapters for fitting and fixing them properly shouldn't be that expensive.
