Gaming Case

[sandmannight]

I was going to get this case and add some fans but I wanted some suggestions on what fans and how many. Thanks.

The case is the Aspire X-Navigator. Comes with two 80mm fans one on the side and one on top.

I was also wondering if a 20+4 pin connector will work ok with a Lanparty Ultra-D. Thanks

 

[sandmannight]

ANYBODY?

Do you anticipate your computer's internal parts overheating?

If not, you should be ok with a stock setup.

 

[sandmannight]

no but I want everything to be nice and cool

The 20+4 pin connector will be fine, it is to make sure that the PSU will be compatible with mobos that have either 20 pin or 24 pin power connections.

As for fans. Depending on what CPU, & GPU you will be using and if you intend on overclocking you may not need the top fan or the side fan.

As for the 120mm exhaust fan...

If you want something quiet get the Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E (1,200rpm) 120mm for $15 + $5 shipping.

If you don't care about quiet get the SILVERSTONE FN121 120mm fan for $7.50 + $5 shipping.

For the front intake fan...

Get the SILVERSTONE FN81 80mm Fan for $2.80 + $5 shipping.

Or use one of the included 80mm fans if you are not using them.

You have a good setup there :-D

If you are going to be OC'ing quite a bit I would suggest one of these:

I would also suggest an Antec TPII PSU.

Antec, Silverstone, Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling and OCZ tend to make great PSUs.

Good luck :-D

That'll work too :-D


As far as the case is concerned I would suggest one that can accommodate 2 120mm fans.

And it's better to buy the case and PSU separately unless it's Antec, OCZ, Silverstone, etc

Doesn't have any cool led lights or effects, but it's the best fan that is quite, reliable and powerful. I got these on my rigs.

Aren't you interested in Watercooling though. I mean, I read your other thread and you were saying you were. So, that would take a completely different case from one that is designed for air.

I know it's a good heatsink, but can you really trust a company which cannot spell the name of their product on the instructions they provide?
