suggest a case

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
So hi guys biggrin.gif
I'm gonna help one of my friends build a rig.
We've decided to get the corsair h100 cooler.

but we need to find a case.
We want a case with a large sidewindow.
It also needs to house the cooler in a push-pull config.

What's the best case for that? biggrin.gif

Are you going for a certain look at all? You wanted a big window on the side right?

They did not request that info. Your post is about as helpful as sitting yourself into a large ant hill. They want a H100. It will perform just as well if not better than many coolers out there. and any air cooler with a push/pull setup will be just as loud as the H100. The H100 is a great cooler and as long as your ambients are not through the roof you will be very happy with its performance.
