I'm looking for a new case, reasonably priced, with great airflow.
Suggestions?
Take a look at the Antec P180. Isolates the heat of your PSU and HDs (with a dedicated 120mm fan) from the main motherboard area. Has 2 120mm in main area for venting. Has optional mount for additional 120mm fan in front.
I like the fact that the HDs and PSU are in a little dedicated wind tunnel.
Doesn't the P180 have a nick name along the lines of like the heat chamber? I know it can get pretty out inside one of those cases, I believe that was why Antec went fan crazy with the Nine Hundred and the upcoming P190 (the P190 looks awesome though).
I'm looking at mini towers, but it sits on the floor next to my desk so size isn't critical.
I'd rather keep the noise down but I'm getting old and going deaf so it doesn't have to be whisper quiet
Water cooling is an intriging option but I have no experience with it, but I am open to suggestions.
The beauty of water cooling these days is that most kits are very straight forward. I myself have been looking into Zalman's setup which use a rather large external radiator and have no fans and I would assume a silent pump. Hmmm.
Pretty much anything from Lian Li if you're not opposed to expensive cases.
I have a Coolermaster Praetorian and would also highly recommend it.
