Ok...need to ask whether you guys on Good Casing and Bad Casing.
My casing is non-branded, chaplang brand, E-Mag, installed with 80mm exhaust fan, when I opened up my casing sidepanel, my system temperature drops 5degree. so, can i assume that this is a bad casing? So, can I also assume that a good casing with front and exhaust fan will maintain my system temperature, even when I remove the sidepanel? |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 4 2007, 08:15 AM) Does your casing has intake fans? Actually only the exhaust fan is not totally a waste, it managed to reduced some temperature.... I'm just wondering, with a good casing,with good airflow, the temperature of my system will be cooler or the same with the sidepanel taken off?...If not, then the exhaust fans is just a waste, plus, it's making your casing have a really really high negative airflow. No intake, but has exhaust.   because right now, after i took off my side panel, my cpu temp dropped 5C degree! |

QUOTE(vincent09 @ Apr 4 2007, 01:21 PM) For me if i take off the side panel, my pc temperature will raise up 3~4 degree. Nice!! Hahaha...that means this proves that good airflow in the casing really helps!! Thanks! 2 fans ( 9x9cm ) intake and 3 fans ( 12x12cm, pci fan, 9x9cm ) for exhaust. I'm getting Coolermaster Elite 330.  Any bad or good comments?? |

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Apr 10 2007, 10:17 AM) Standard utilitarian casing lor... Works like any casing would but nothing really exciting. May I know which is exciting casing? Still not sure wat casing to get for average budget. I'm not looking for fancy, pancy casing, just a good casing with good airflow (12cm fan) and silent. |

The airflow of the HEC 6A34 should be fine I think? It's around RM180, not considered too cheap...

QUOTE(Sky.Live @ May 13 2007, 02:08 AM) Hi guys, I need help of suggestion a casing with at least 1 12cm intake fan, exhaust role might be taken over by psu with 12cm fan, Low noise will be my main concern. I think the casing you are looking for is indeed Thermaltake Tsunami Dream, it's:At least 3 or 4 HDD rack above, 5.25' bay, at least 2 ~ 3? 2.5' bay too. Possible with cover door panel. NO TRANSPARENT SIDE PANEL, Not A BLACK CASING, only alu or piano white please, I hope you guys got what i trying to say here.. I have check out some lian-li case, some were suitable but way out my budget, RM700+, i have not decided on my budget yet, therefore i need a advice which Casing to choose for, no high end video card will be used. 1. Aluminium 2. Got Front Door 3. Can opt for windowless sidepanel 4. Stylish too.  |

QUOTE(Sky.Live @ May 13 2007, 12:51 PM) thanks for the input i am very glad with the suggestion, after some googling and research, i found some other casing which might suit my taste, need some opinion on them. i can see you preference...very toned down, very non bling bling type. If I have the budget, i'll go for those too... Lian-Li 767A Lian-li 101A PC B20A Antec P180 i have not check other brand such as gigabyte, asus, silverstone, sunbeam, cooler-master, vantec, zalman etc. Any other casing from those brand which have a nice design which might suit me, you might just realised i like plain simple silver colour casing, multiple easy access hdd tray, and also 120mm IN TAKE FAN. Thanks for the input   |

Cases with doors will eventually wear out and becomes loose over a period of time, unless it's built with the highest quality.
