QUOTE(kueckcinx @ Oct 7 2013, 04:19 PM) so what should i do with the extra 1 120mm?  Same thing what I do with my 4 extra fans... keep them in storage until needed  QUOTE(kkt @ Oct 7 2013, 05:50 PM) I am looking for a white quiet case with modern minimalistic design. My fairly old setup is as follows: ATX Motherboard with a massive Sapphire Radeon HD5870 & 4 HDDs RAID 10. No special cooling required. Any recommendations? Budget about RM300-700. Thanks white and quiet... only the Fractal Design XL comes to mind

Hey guys I wanna know what do u guys think about NZXT Phantom 530 n 630? Which is more better for setting up a water cooling system including the GPU wb as well.  Kinda torn in between in these 2. Is the Rm100 difference worth it?

As far I see from review space isn't much issue in both casing as front modular cage can be removed. It's a hundred bucks diff >< This post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 06:35 PM

It's a hundred bucks diff >< wow i tot im the only one lol  i gonna change to Phantom 410 SE Gunmetal haha. Cable management sucks in this case. And the cable its pulling my 670 down. ::Edit:: Btw u got any best guide for swapping case ah?  Or just refer to user guide from my motherboard? I got 1 user guide (p67 deluxe), but i using z77 v deluxe, can still use? This post has been edited by kueckcinx: Oct 8 2013, 06:46 PM

And its pulling my 670 down ikr~! such a headache case but oh well u get what u pay for I guess. I'm thinking of 530 cuz one of my mobo pin is needed to be routed from top left of the casing. Aside of that I wanna set up push pull config for my radiator on top. Here's my latest update on my current case. U can see if using push pull config is impossible to mount on top(the Z77 box thingy) is blocking, and if u see closely got one cable beside that box that needed to be routed. For 410 seems to be very tight on top. This post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 06:51 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

I don't think got much difference and not to say much fan the better. I rmb reading in one test they just have one or two exhaust and a input does the well than other config(need find back that link). As long got good airflow its sufficient imho.  Maybe 1C - 3C temp drop but our country so hot so yeahh  Edit: Found one of the linky TomshardwareThis post has been edited by gxthelord: Oct 8 2013, 07:13 PM

But according to your pic the cables u put on there will block air flow come in from the front of your casing. Try put them behind or below so the air can flow in thru from the front fan
