What case should I get?

post #1 of 38
Thread Starter 
Hey everyone. I have been browsing about looking for a good enough case to fit the Corsair "CWCH100" and can hold a few large fans plus looks nice however I'm not willing to pay more than £150 and if possible lower than £100 would be great, at the moment I really haven't looked to far into this and thought what better place to ask than here. I'm currently using a "Antec Three Hundred Two Midi Tower Case" which is a good case all in all just not big enough. Thanks!

The corsair 650D is in your price range, you've also got the TJ09 which is on sale at scan

Also if you wanna stick with antec, the 1200 has space for the H100

Im not to sure if it has the space, but Corsair Vengeance C70!

It has room for 2x 240mm rads so yeah, it'll be ok.

That'll fit a 240mm rad as well... Well, it says "Most" 240mm rads and I guess that depends if it will fit them in the front of the case or on the top. I can't find any clarification on that one I'm afraid.

Phantom 410 (check my build you can get loads of fans in it and a push pull!
500R is also good but is better for fan coolers, also the Phantom is on special from scan at the moment, what fans do you plan to put on the H100?
what build are you looking at??
500R is a nice case, mainly for air cooling though hence the sides. im not too sure if you can fit a push pull in there or a 240mm rad that well.
I had to choose between the Phantom 410 and the 500R my friend went for the 500R and dropped to an air cooler sue to the cost the phantom would allow for your H100 plus some fan upgrades.

A Corsair 650D or an NZXT Switch 810 or my personal favorite the Corsair 500R, they're all just awesome! thumb.gif

850 watt power pack? What PSU do you have? Oh btw go with the Samsung 840 128Gb SSD

And no, it'll fit fine.
