need advice, new case

[solidsteve]

hey people's

i'm kind of in a bind with my new pc at the moment, i currently have a nexus caterpillar case now this is good but it's too much of a tight fit

so tight even that the pse barely fits in the case and has to squeeze past the heat sink (actually touching it) to feed other parts

so i would like people's options on the 3 full tower cases aria have in i.e. the coolermaster cosmos s, coolermaster cosmos 1000 and the antec twelve hundred

there a bit costly but i just dont feel happy with such a tight fit so i'm kind of looking into one of these 3

you don't need a full tower, mid tower will do tbh

cosmos 1000

Get the cosmos S, i bought one last week and its ten times better than the cosmos 1000.

You wont regret it

got any thoughts on a midi tower that has plenty of space

@monkey, whats the layout and wire management like in the cosmos s

[Monkey]

The cable management is stunning... theres almost too much cable management, loads of space and little holes to tie cables out of the way of the airflow if there not long enough to go behind the main board...

It really is handy, one thing though, the case comes with 4 fans as standard, after that your gonna have to use your cpu fan aswell so thats 5, and theres space for another 3 so thats 8 in total. You may wanna get a fan controller or a splitter cables or something alot those lines if you cant plug them all into your Mobo,

But if you ask me thats hardly a problem, all my fans (the standard 5) are plugged into the mobo except for the side fan which is plugged into the PSU

8 fans from a mobo is asking for trouble, all but cpu should be from the PSU tbh

Thats why i was saying he should get a fan controller if hes planning on buying all the extra fans to acomodate the case :)

[solidsteve]

ok i think this case will do for now, hopefully the aria tech team have some elite wire management skills to put my mind at rest but the cosmos s it is but in a later chapter of this pc

The cosmos S is huge. It's more full tower than Midi. You could fit my car in that case!

Antec 900, not 1200

I can fit my other pc inside my cosmos s and close the side, ha ha ha

Its true aswell

[solidsteve]

the antec twelve hundred is starting to appeal to me now i've had a good look at it:sad:

i might go for that with all those fans, 7x 120mm and 1x 220mm but i would have to buy a few fans it also looks like it has some good wire management

[Audigex]

And if you're looking for a midi case, the 900 is almost the same as the 1200, just smaller :)

[Monkey]

Get the cosmos, honestly if you love your hardware youll love this case.

Just get a fan controller if you plan to buy the extra 3 fans

Check out the akasa Pro or something like that, thats what im planning to get
