http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853030 there this is the case im questioning at first i thought oh a built in CPU cooler sold! , but wait would it really be that good is it possible its less efficient than a separate one also my main question about this case is i started to wonder , see how the side panel is just closed off no fan on the side like my current coolermaster HAFX case, does it have enough fans would also like to say the HAFX is a pain to work on/in maybe recommend a easier one to work in/clean


^^does the linked case have enough FANS? also what do you think of the built in water cooler for the CPU good or pass the case up instead just buy a normal cooler like EG corsair h100i gtx?

and last i didn't notice a place to post for cases so posting here hope its the right spot.

Your case preference is truly personal, and there is no right answer when it comes to looks for PC cases.However, this is such as thing as being overpriced, hard to work in, and frustrating. While I have no doubt that this is a very unique case, I am questioning the value of the $250 price point. For that same price, you could get (in my personal opinion) a much nicer looking case, with more features, and a better CPU cooler. It really depends on your current build also. Some CPU's do not require water cooling, while others do to maintain reasonable temperatures.

Also, when it comes to case fans, many builders get too carried away. Fans do not control the temperatures of the build. In fact, anything more than x1 rear exhaust and x1 front intake fan reduce temperatures by around %5-15, while exponentially increasing the noise output. The best fan configuration, that I personally use, are two fans in the front as intake for my radiator, and a single rear exhaust fan.

I hope this helped! For more information about fan setups and airflow watch this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmkmluAYAQ

Best of luck!
