hmmm with such budget either u get a good case or good PSU only....

it would be better to invest more toward the PSU as that's the heart of energy for all ur components...

as for the case u would need to pump some money to get a nice one since 8800GTS requires some cooling ventilation at the graphic card zone to keep it cool and steady ....

hmmm .. still a bit tight but can work it out ...

RM299 for nice HEC 480 watts PSU ... can power up ur rig without problem ...

but not recommended for serious OC.....

RM238 for Lian Li PC-7S (U could also get from me at lower price, PM me about the details)

Comes with dual 12cm fan holes and one 8cm top blow hole. fit 8800GTS without problem at all.

hi...i need to buy a new casing..budget is below RM200...my spec is at the rig...so,plz recommend a nice casing for me that the air flow must be good n etc...i dun care wat brand..just recommend me whatever brand that is nice...thx.. smile.gif

CM C5 or CM Elite will do just fine with ur budget ...

if u could push a bit more for RM238 u could get a nice full aluminum case that feature dual 12cm + 8cm and removable HDD cage as well as nice cable management setup .. on top of that it's really cool..

btw the model is Lian Li PC-7S selling at ATE (Advanced Technology)@ LYP...

im kinda new to this casings bt is lian li good?

Yah most of their case are cool, functional, rich with features and yet afforadable ...

most would go for PC-7S for budget buy or higher end V1000, PC-A10 and etc ...

Go the ATE show room for a visit urself ... u could ask to check out the case there.

Feel it and u'll know why it's hot selling...

Yah it's a good one else well and being one of the case that most would like to get if look into thermaltake ..

the down side is the interior design that got out dated ...

HDD cage direction isn't revertable .. and probably causes difficulty in installing top end gc that possess long length ..

other than that it's a great case after all ....

V600 ..... It's a nice one with the sleek curve front panel finished with lots of ventilation for optimun cooling.

The only downside is it can't accomodate HSF that has height exceed 8cm ... if not I would have got that case to play around already ...

hhhmmm .. it's a bit risky coz the PSU was stuck into the rom slots ...

it doesn't fit just nice .. it make the slots bent a bit ... if u look carefully at the photo u will realized it as well.

further more modding the case still need to be done which I can't do it now ..

I've got no tools at all .... no drill, dremel not jigsaw///

to get a full aluminum case with window with that budget would be a bit tough..

most mid range full aluminum case already cost RM5++ ..

so it's a bit hard to get with the window side panel ...

probably an entry aluminum case with side window would be a better buy .. cost about RM450 ....

hmm interesting, but too bad I can't get hold of any case over here unless I go around to bigger city like London and stop by a shop that actually does sells the PC parts...

I'm still running my PC naked, despite the lower ambient temperature here I don't get a better thermal result back at MY .. sadly ..what a waste ..

The only shops around London selling PC parts is at Tottenham Court Road. Whole street is all electronics stuff. but all mainstream stuff only. U need to order from online shops for the good stuff.

Hello...
ahahh .. that's the problem I got no credit card here yet ..

I spot few items on the website .. hope to get it soon .. can't run my rig naked.


Can someone recommend me a casing with btx format or a casing with the window panel on the right side instead of the left, preferrably black..
Only ones i've found so far is silverstone tj06 and lian li v1000..
Budget about 300..

Thanks. smile.gif

Rm300 u better get a normal case design with full aluminum material .. Lian Li PC-7S or Lian Li PC-007

since u have already bought it, I don't think that matter anymore ..

the case is not a bad deal at that price ... since all sort of transportation cost needed to be covered by the retailer..

hhaha .. coz I'm applying for credit card at the moment so that I could get some goodies from the internet site ... the local store charge crazy price ..

Anyway it's naked right now ... ..still in dilemma of which case to get coz Lian Li is pretty limited here .. and other cases just ain't that good when comes to internal construction ...

will see how it goes in the coming month as I sort things out and ready for my shopping ....

G7 is not within their list (ATE) however the new distributor Inter-Asia would bring some of G7 in again ....

you could look for the case in bulk order ... it's running it now .

The case is exceptional good at teh given price .. lots of goodie that is functional ....

hmm u missed the trend where there were quite a number of G7 photo in the Lian Li Thread V2....

It's sold by ATE last time during the promotion at RM198 which attracted lots of buyer and gone finish stock within 1.5 months ...

After that no more stock at ATE ...

I did encountered with the same problem as well when using the old HDD cage ...

There's noise from the HDD whenever HDD is accessing and writing data..

It sounds like metal against metal which is the reader on the disc .. tik tik ..

It get really annoyed when the environment is quiet or the case just too close to where I sit ..
