QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Jan 25 2012, 09:01 AM) No such thing IMHO it'll mostly depend on your budget and setup (e.g. Water / air cooling) some ppl will say best chassis is no chassis at all and set up on the mobo box But dun look cool if no chassis... Haha...    |

800D is less than 1000. Decide in whether you want to go watercooling, picking a casing depends on whether you wanna go air or wc.
If you dont wanna do wc, there are many casings available. |

You can gain about 50% improvement in cpu speed going wc.
These are some casings that are good for wc and can house radiators internally (more than one rad) Cm 692a, trooper, haf x, cosmos 2, corsair 800d, xigmatek elysium, tj07, tj11, xspc h1, h2, ldpc v8. There may be more but these are some common choices that I can recall. Price is rm300+, 500+, 900+, 1300+, 1500+, 2000+ |
