New Case

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
Hi

I recently upgraded my PC but my new PSU (Antec High Current Pro) does not line up with the fan grill on the bottom.
So I'm looking for a good full tower.
Been looking at the Corsair Obsidian 800d but its very expensive. Would like something like it tho.
Any advice?

Thanks.

If the fan doesn't line up with the case it's not a huge problem, if any at all. I know many people who turn their PSUs over with the fan pointing upwards. It doesn't really make any difference.
If you really want a new case then i can suggest a couple. Corsair do some great cases. 600T, 650D, to name just a few. Also Coolermaster do some very well received cases. The 800D, although a very good case, is only really utilised fully when used with fully custom water loops, which goes to explain the price. Are you looking for a custom water cooling loop? If not, i wouldn't really be looking at the 800D due to the price.
NZXT are also well renowned for their Phantom and Switch line of cases.
It all really comes down to preference and what you're wanting in a case.

Do you plan on water cooling? Huge motherboard? Multiple GPU? What's your budget? Regardless of your answer to these questions, the 800D isn't a good choice.

I think he means custom, so requiring independent pump/res/rad which takes up space and therefore the need for a particular case ( eg. 800D ). You won't need a huge case for this, as it's a fairly simple build which any ATX sized case will be suffice.
