Guys.. need a little help here choosing a good chasing. I'm going to get my self a 8800GTS soon... and just only realize how long the card is  Longer than my 6800GS. And my 6800GS... almost touch my harddisk drive due to my normal 'decent' size of casing. So now I need to get myself a new casing that will definitely be long enough to house my 8800GTS without touching the harddisk  And now... I'm putting my budget around RM200 for casing. Currently Cooler Master Elite 331 and PowerLogic Atrix 5000G has caught my attention. Didn't know the full size of it though as I only look at the picture from the internet. Between these two casing... which one is a better choice?? And second.. any other recommendation for me?? I'll be glad to accept it  Thanks in advance...

omg... that thread has so many post to go through  Well... I assume CM 331 refers to Cooler Master Elite 331 correct?? Then.. what about owerLogic Atrix 5000G... the LCD temp infront of it looks kinda cool... *I'm kinda noob in casing segment.. hopefully sifu here can guide me and show me the light...

oh... okay then. Thanks for your advice on that..  Now I'll definitely go for Cooler Master.. thanks a lot  Just wondering though if CM 311 is a good casing now.. among other Cooler Master's casings.. but I'll post that question in Cooler Master topic.

hm.. was looking for Cooler Master Elite 331 in Penang yesterday.. didn't find any.. but then stumbled across Raidmax casings. Kinda cool looking... the Ninja and Sagitta. I wonder... how good is this casing?? Does it has good airflow?? And can fit in 8800 Ultra arr??

got a lot of headache recently regarding case...  Well... I wish to make this simpler... so instead of me asking "Is this a good casing" and so on... how about you guys recommend me a good casing instead?? My target is a good airflow casing. Coz I think lately my system is quite hot... and I'm not staying in an aircond room too. Can you guys recommend me any good casing with good airflow for below RM300??

QUOTE(Doom @ Jun 9 2007, 11:50 PM) @Phoenixwunin That depend on how well the case airflow u are looking for ?? for that budget maybe better just get a case with dual 12cm and do some modding .. Simple casing with dual 12cm arr.. Tell me... how important is a fan on the side panel of casing?? Should I go and search for one or the normal ones with 120cm in front and rear is enough edy??

guys... need help again here  I've finally managed to narrow down my choices to: Silverstone Temjin 08& Lian-Li PC7SNow between these two.. please advice which one shud I take.. If mobo and gc should be taken into consideration.. then my mobo is Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 and my gc might be GeForce 8800GTX or HD2900XT. I'm looking for super good air-flow/cooling solution.

QUOTE(easternC @ Jun 14 2007, 09:22 PM) centerion5 kinda small for 8800gts.. at least for me... with 80 intake and 120 rear, even my 6600gt reach >60C... huhuhu unless u want uncle ianho to mod to 120 intake.... for me, u better go for somthing more spacy... Something more spacy such as?? Erm.. is Lian Li PC-7S spacy enough for 8800GTS or even GTX?? What I mean here is not about whether the casing can be fitted with the GTS / GTX or not but rather.. will it be spacy enough in terms of air flow for the GC.. well.. if you get what I mean that is..
