What case? Looking for a new case ...

[Papewaio]

Ok, I need some help with a case problem.

At the moment I have a Coolermaster Centurion and I'm looking for a new, larger case due to having not enough space for if and when I go SLI.

At the moment I'm looking at getting the Thermaltake Soprano. Decent cooling, decent look, and looked like it had enough space.

I need to find a larger case than that because at the moment my cpu fan is a Zalman 9700LED. As some of you might know ... its a rather large cpu fan and at the moment, if I got the Soprano, the side fan would hit the cpu fan.

So, I need to find a larger case (not too big), decent cooling without having to buy any other fans or anything, decent looks (style is a little part of it ), not too expensive, max $200 Australian, and lastly, must be available in Australia

Any recommendations?

If worse comes to worse, I could take off the side fan, but that would loose a little circulation.

Recommendations?

I'm not sure if this will suit your needs but I'm building a new PC for my brother and im using this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146038 case. Its pretty nice, 3 120mm fans, 1 80mm fan, predrilled holes for watercooling, looks great also. Hope that helped.

I've been looking all day (as I'm jobless at the moment but should have one soon, thus looking for a new case now) and found two

I have the apollo and i like it. Easy to install, plenty of space. Mostly toolless installs. all around good case.

I have the 900, excellent looks, excellent cooling and will easily take your 9700 cpu cooler, I have the 9500 and there's bags of room.

How loud is the 900, because it will be in my room, running at night, wondering how loud it will be?

There is another case I have looked at made by NZXT and thats http://www.nzxt.com/products/nemesis_elite

anyones thoughts

You might want to take a look at the NZXT Tempest, its what I'd get if I was upgrading my case.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146047&Tpk=NZXT%2btempest

Its basically NZXT's copy of the antec 900, it'll be big enough to fit your stuff and its got really nice airflow to keep things frosty. Also pretty low noise level considering all the nice case fans it has.

^ NZXT Tempest looks great. The Antec 900 is great I own one now and yes your CPU cooler will fit in a 900, my Xigmatek HDT-s1283 fits, and it is VERY tall. Now it just comes down to which ever you like the looks of more.

i want to buy soprano fx too...
i searched the internet and found two different prices. the first is around 85 poundsterling and the second is around 219 dollar(us). which one is correct? coz thermaltake didn't show the prize in their web
and there is another version of soprano fx with a huge sidefan, how much is it?
