Hi All,

I am new to OCN and currently have had an incredible amount of help and support here. I am right now in process of OC with a really great guy (Mauricio) from Mexico City. He has held my hand and provided an incredible managed approach to OC. Anyway, I got a crappy case when I bought my system and am currently running with the side panel off. I am looking for recommendations on the best air cooled cases. I am running a qx9650 and a GTX 285 FTW, 2 wd sata drives. I wish I could say money is no object, but I I do have a budget and would like to spend no more than a $125. I don't care about a noisy case because I half deaf anyway. Just need a case that is proven to keep things cool. I dont need all the fancy lights and readouts, just a case that keeps things cool. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Bob B

In the price range you should be able to get some pretty decent case.

What do you think about the Antec 900?

Antec and CoolerMaster also have some other decent cases to somewhat lover prices as well.

Thanks you guys. I will check out all of these cases.
One question. These cases that you are recommending, are these ones that you have, or would like to have?

Thanks
Bob G

The Antec 900 and Coolermaster CM690 are my votes. I've used them both and had great success with them and aircooled rigs...

I have used the Antec 300 and cm 690 both are very good. Cm 590 is just a smaller version of the 690. I heard nothing but good things about the tempest from people here @ OCN

I have the Antec 900, and it's a great air cooling rig.
I would opt for the Cooler Master 690 though, as it has great air cooling, and better cable mangement
