rclxms.gif i heard its a medium sized ATX case that can do 2x 240rads?

yep, a medium sized case that packs a punch.
from the reviews i can found on the net, there's no doubt this is going to be 1 of the best because i don't really see medium tower that allows 2 X 240 radiators.
considering this for my future build / recommend others tongue.gif

went to lowyat today.saw 350d demo unit at corsair booth at G level.very tempting indeed.The staff dunno when it'll be officially launched here at malaysia.They also said no idea about the pricing.But i guess it'll be almost to rm400.

Those huge side panel window,240mm top rad..it would really blows FD Arc Mini away..

Oh,they also had 800d usb3.0 version at their booth..iinm.me eyes only focused at 350d..ain't bother to look at anything else.. tongue.gif

totally thumbup.gif
i hope the price will be 3XX, else i might consider going for Tt urban series (S31 maybe).

Tt S31, totally WC ready with those extra spaces on top for 240 Rad (?)

so sexy.. drool.gif

350d priced at $99.99-$109.99.So,i dun think we can get it around rm350 here.. sweat.gif
*
a lot of unhappy(?) thing happened in between, that's why the price got marked up.
same case goes to the GTX 780 which i saw the expected price $650 (from tom's hw) but the price when reaching here RM2899 (from idealtech).

if aiming for watercooling, go for 350D (SRP RM359) if budget allowed. whistling.gif
300R is pretty ok too, IMO

i agree with clem. if you want to do OC. better get a cooler. (water cooling for me). you dont want to waste your board/procie if you want to do some OCing. improper cooling may lead to burning your procie/board to crisp. biggrin.gif tongue.gif
*
please don't mislead others, you won't burn things to crisp due to improper cooling.
A CM Hyper 212X is pretty much enough to keep a 3570K below 85° running at 4.0GHz.
Having a highend wc setup but max oc to 4.5 only, not really worth to invest, just my humble opinion of course. sweat.gif

sorry about that. what i mean is squeeze everybit of ghz on the procie. OC for me is squeezing everybit of ghz. sorry for misleading. sad.gif
*
lol bro, squeezing every bit out of it = wanna set world record?
Overclocking is not necessary must squeeze out even the tiniest drop, a slight overclock like stock 3.4GHz to 4.0GHz is also overclocking. tongue.gif
Even so, stability takes count, even if you hit 10.0GHz but failed stress test (the common tool prime95), still consider fail OC.

no worries bro, i start from zero as well. thumbup.gif

well anyway, I don't see the necessity of building a water cooled system if it's only some small tweak that doesn't even goes over 4.6GHz sweat.gif

recommend me good, water cool friendly cases within rm300 budget
*
do state out your mobo size others can sort out cases that suit your needs smile.gif

ATX - Corsair 330R maybe, slightly over budget as SRP is RM329 if i remember correctly
mATX - Bitfenix Prodigy M maybe, check it out at PC Expo this 1st ~ 3rd November @Mid Valley.
ITX - Personally will recommend the Bitfenix Prodigy. RM269.

huhu long time never active and this is my first mission lol
Lotsa chassis fit your criteria, try looking these:

BitFenix Ronin
Cooler Master 690II / III / Scout II
Corsair 300R
Thermaltake ms-1

there are more but I believe these will be the main ones for consideration unless you have a larger budget wink.gif
reviews are hard to come by with this chassis, price wise it it cheap for the features but my advice is to go and take a look at how solid the chassis is before buying it
*
would recommend the Ronin if watercooling is taken into account. thumbup.gif
It's able to fit a H100 with push & pull config, but mobo dependent - no thermal armor etc.

CM Scout II is a great choice if you tends to move your PC a lot.
Corsair 300R, a solid one but no good clearance for to radiator.
Not much comment for the MS-1 from Thermaltake though, haven't tried one yet. lol

yes, the 120mm stock red led fan is spinning very slow at full speed, I think only around 1000+- rpm showing in my software. feel like want to replace fan  rclxub.gif

Instead of high speed fans, why not invest on some quality fans that has low RPM but high static pressure? biggrin.gif
Noctua fans, Noiseblocker fans, etc...

For casing fan i think better opt for high CFM than high static pressure....IMHO icon_rolleyes.gif

for positive pressure setup perhaps? my 1 sen of course, still up to him to decide. rolleyes.gif
