why people want such high end gc like 5970 where you can play / watch hd stuffs with a 400-500 gc ?

Why? Maybe there is a situation like this...

Buy a 400-500 gc, install crysis warhead, then play with maximum settings with 2x 24" monitors (1920 x 1080).... sweat.gif

if i am going to mount 2 360 rads which casing fit most? can be outside but effective not like look weird

Hmm..susah sikit nih..

Silverstone raven rv01 can attach 1x 360 radiator at the rear, but in your case u want 2 360s....

I think, Corsair Obsidian 800D, will fit most, 1x 360 at the top and another at the bottom....

Hmm, how much is RV01?

Btw, RV02 doesn't have a cover to cover the optical drive right?

Is there any other case?

RV01 ~ RM 6xx

Yup, RV02 doesn't have front cover or bay door.

Yes, try to refer here as references:

Erm guys.. wanna ask abit..

In between HAF932 and Silverstone Raven RV01.. which one would be more reliable? in terms of performance?

Also, considering HAF X is around the corner, do you think it would be wise getting a Raven RV01? unsure.gif
*
HAF-X definitely better than rv01

all right!. thanks a lot man.

any of u guys know how is the cable management like for this case?
is there enough space for the excess cables to run on the other side behind the mobo?
i only have 2 hdd and 2 cd drives. so there's like kinda a lot of excess cables.
another question, since the psu is at the bottom, which way should i place the psu? should the psu fan be sucking air from the bottom hole of turned upside down and suck air from within the case?

Thank you.  rclxms.gif

Xkisahlah, suck or exhaust, the psu fan should face at the ventilation hole.

Hi guys, need some advice here. Now I've been using Gigaybyte Aurora casing (not 570) for quite sometime. I can say that the air flow inside the casing is not very good especially the front intake. First there is grill that IMO actually block the air, and then there is the HDD cage, with just holes to allow intake air to flow. Now I'm considering several options:

a) modding, to cut off the grill and some part of the HDD cage to allow more air (perhaps this can reduce noise too) - disadvantage is I don't have the equipment

b) buy a new casing; I'm looking at CM690 2 Advanced. Seems good to me, though I would like to look at cable management too.

c) get a water cooling set instead; expensive, but investment will surely last in the long run.

which option should I take?

Thanks smile.gif

If you don't mind the psu mounted at the top, then option C is a good choice smile.gif
