Hey case, I'm between the horns of a dilemma. I'm thinking of upgrading my case and while I was nearly decided on the Corsair 800D due to its size, cable management and features, I'm thinking of a different case. Here's my build
CPU/MOBO core 7-930 on a Asus P6T
CPU Cooler noctua dh-14
GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX-260
PSU Antec earthwatts 650
Current case Antec 300
The reason why I give the cpu cooler is because, the Silverstone FT02b has limitations. I'm really liking the looks of this puppy, its ability to create positive airflow with three massive fans on the bottom but my concerns are as follows:
GPU, is Graphics card too big.
CPU Cooler is my cooler too big
Fan Noise, does this case sound like a 747 taking off at an airport?
While I'm starting to read reviews on this case, if any current owners reading this thread, care to chime in on it, I'd be appreciative.
Finally, does it makes sense to upgrade my antec 300 case to a silverstone. I am liking the looks of the silverstone better but does it makes sense. I didn't pay a lot of the 300 and I'm sure I'd be able to sell it on craigslist for a few bucks, but am I gaining enough on the silverstone to justify the purchase.
btw, I understand the irony of choosing between the Corsiar 800d monster tower which has less then ideal air movement to the silverstone with great air flow
