| 795564 | 2009-07-27 03:31:00 | It's almost time to upgrade...got a Thermaltake Kandalf case at the moment with water cooling...not a bad case, doesn't work all that well space-wise with two graphics cards and the water pump fighting for space though. I'm considering a case upgrade, bit of a pain cause the Kandalf is worth bugger all now. Is one of the Silverstone TJ series cases still the ones to go for? Was looking at a TJ10. An E-ATX case looks like the way to go, especially with having to fit 2 graphics cards in there. What's your thoughts? :) |

| 795566 | 2009-07-27 04:55:00 | I have a TJ09 myself, which is not too different from a TJ10. I would say it's very spacious. Have a little bit of planning and wiring can be done quite neatly. My only complaint about it is the lack of dust filter. Because of this the case does accumulate dust a tad faster than I'd like. I have an Antec P182 with modded side window if you're interested Wratty. Though you might not as you probably want a larger case. |

| 795567 | 2009-07-27 04:57:00 | Anything aluminium is definitely the way to go - if I had my time (and money) again I'd go for aluminium - better cooling and so much easier to move around, pull out of under the desk, lie on its side to work on etc. | Deane F (8204) | ||
| 795568 | 2009-07-27 04:59:00 | Aluminium......mmmm. Pity most of them are so boring. I like cases with proper cable management but never get one as looks win. Thus most of mine have been steel with no real cable management. Never had a problem with cooling as they are always roomy and have either plenty of case fans or I add them. |

Though you might not as you probably want a larger case. Thanks for the offer - I almost bought the P182 as my last case, but decided on a bigger one. Interesting about the dust - My Thermaltake has dust filters on all the intakes and they pick up a frightening amount of dust. Good info, thanks. :) |

| 795570 | 2009-07-27 05:14:00 | My all time favourit case manufacturur is Lian Li Ahhhhhh (www.lian-li.com) After that Silverstone, TJ9 or 10....... After that Antec 1200.... Thing is with a quality case you can keep it for a life time.....well almost! |

| 795571 | 2009-07-27 05:28:00 | OK so now I want the PC-X2000B. :D The PC-V2010B looks very nice, would like to put a window in though. The Antec 1200 looks great for the $$$, almost makes the Lian Li seem overpriced, I have no doubts about the quality of the Lian Li though, I know they make good stuff. |

| 795572 | 2009-07-27 05:46:00 | Looks like a TJ09 or TJ10 or the Antec 1200 would be the case I'd get if I was to upgrade, which I think I will... Thanks for the info guys and gals. |

| 795573 | 2009-07-27 06:24:00 | The TJ 9\10 is about $400, sane for the 1200, $560 for the dream case!....you wouldnt balk if it was the graphic card, and good cases last longer....I have built 3 of the V2000 series, all lovely jubbly! My current case was about $380 over 4 yrs ago, I am on my 3rd build with it! |
