QUOTE(noobfc @ Jan 1 2013, 07:57 AM) hey guys, wanna ask afaik there are 3 type of casing the small one, medium tower and full tower casing now when building your rig, what are the things that make you choose between a medium tower and a full tower thanks for me it depends on how much room u have to keep the rig and the size of your mobo. m-atx and atx can fit easily into most medium towers, but the extended atx needs full tower for easier fitting

air circulation will have to see how the manufacturer design the case. bigger case will be better for wc though

QUOTE(noobfc @ Jan 1 2013, 02:40 PM) so lets say my rig will just have 1 gc, 1 hdd and 2 ssd a medium should do just fine right (no water cooling) even the prodigy is enough for that dude. its a very nice case

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ May 24 2013, 09:54 PM) Guys, any suggestion for iTX casing? If possible, I avoid Prodigy for the rubberized finished. And I'm still dilemma whether I go for water or air cooling. I'm looking for air cooling but I'm afraid the temp issue due to the small size of the casing. But again, water cooling involved a lot of work and not to mention, water cooling trouble me since I stay at rural. Thanks. Have u hears about the Jonsbo casing? They r aluminium n itx

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ May 25 2013, 12:23 AM) Sound like lubang Jobo. Haha... Yes I heard of that casing and I recommend the casing to other forumer last time. Really love the minimalist design. However some people claimed the airflow are not really good. Well, I doubt that but haven't googling yet. Actually, looking casing that water cooling friendly. I have a GTX 670+WB and if possible, I want to re-use my XSPC kit. The more I re-use, the less I spend. Unless WC a mITX rig will be a pain in the ass, I think I will sell the WC kit and my GPU+WB, and go back to air cooling. And I'm wondering how is the HD 7970 Ghz performance in SFF. try check with cyntrix, their stock should be coming in soon... from the pictures, i guess they would not be very good for airflow

QUOTE(pali_5373 @ Sep 24 2013, 03:28 AM) i think on upgrading my case..the one i am using now is tj07.. but it's look like too much crowded in that case..my case is keeping 3 gc,2 set of 480 rad at the bottom side, one 270's reservoir i have budget around 1500 for the casing. so which one do u prefer? either corsair 900d or my tj07 big bro, the tj11.or maybe vector desk(this one have to top up around 1k more)? why not Phanteks Enthoo Primo>>

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Nov 18 2013, 09:56 AM) The only thing that comes into mind is the Asrock M8 Mini-ITX barebones PC, cool looking chassis that one but with some drawbacks in slim-line designs another that comes in mind is the Parvum cases or N9
