If let's say I got money enough for ATCS, what casing should I get to have enough air flow to go into my 3 Graphic card?



And the cards are all e-ATX.

That's the problem.

All I need is

1) Large airflow into the 3 cards
2) e-ATX capable casing.

I see glory in that casing.

But the weight is a problem haiz.

Bringing from KL back to Miri will be painful.

u should also take a look at the Silverstone TJ09 or TJ10.

both fits eATX and has dedicated cooling for the graphics cards...

among those e-ATX cases

u should filter those with side intake

direct air to ur vga!

thats da best airflow u can get

I dont think it will even fit the lanparty bag...

I am going to get 1 if the ATCS 840 soon. Now collecting funds, the atcs is so elegant and huge. I went to 1 shop in penang and checked out the atcs, it was very awesome, better than what i expected from the reviews i saw over the internet.

If i wanna buy a case from CM, i will go for ATCS bcoz it is full allu, Reason bcoz i like allu. HAHA

btw, im thinking if for normal usage (say u hav very decent cooler for GPU/CPU/or even for RAM) why really need a case with good airflow? Coz somebody raised this issue n i was like startled, find it quite meaningful also coz unless u wan do heavy oc u need better airflow otherwise jus choose 1 which is hensem and roomy . Am i Rite? I honestly tink sniper more hensem than haf.i like the controls of fan and led too. onli if haf has the same functionalities my headache will b less aaa. but i wud buy haf932 like now running to the shop naked if it has proper dust filter to b honest. lol.

good airflow is essential....no matter wat the heatsink is... even WC requires some form of airflow.

otherwise ur most powderful heatsink is still gonna be useless coz no matter what....it still relies on airflow....if no airflow itll just keep recycling the hot air and the air will get hotter and hotter and hotter over time....leaving ur temps hotter and hotter....

so yeah....u still need good airflow...coz heatsinks perform best when they get cool air. and u cant get cool air without good air flow

So between these 3 handsome which 1 do hv the best airflow?

haf932 best airflow. best dust intake too... lol hav to do own filtering i guess

second to tat. HAF user here. hv to clean the case every 2 weeks.

Zzzz, i think i wont pay RM480 to buy a dust cleaning job every 2 weeks.

can custom make some filters.

Too many of them, i think it is a hard job to custom make filters

only need 2 filter, front and side, the rest u can ignore.

must custom make? cannot buy?
