I live in a REALLY old house and the room that my computer in is not insulated. It stays cool until noon in the summer when the temp outside starts to climb. By the afternoon you can feel the heat and it will stay hot well until after midnight.
Right now I have a CM-690 with a ton of fans. My question is would it be worth upgrading to a full tower? I am just wondering if in doing that I can have enough time to make mods over the winter to channel better airflow and build separate compartment dividers for the PSU.
Water cooling would be an expensive option but I don't see the value of spending close to $300 just to save a couple degrees in heat. As I said my room stays really hot so the radiator probably wouldn't be anymore effective as a good cooler (using a TRUE now) with good airflow.
I did a few minor mods on my CM-690 like cutting away the plastic honeycomb grilling out of the top and installing extra fans. This time I want a fairly blank slate case again so I could cut my own windows etc.
Any recommendations or advice on which size to choice and brand? I also have a single gtx260 core 216 with no real desire to run SLI on my 750i.
