| 714749 | 2008-10-28 01:57:00 | Sadly I would agree IMO Thermaltake armor 8000 Series medium tower 180+gst Looks great, good airflow for your 4870 and pretty good price |

| 714752 | 2008-10-28 06:12:00 | It is a nice case but its only "MY OPINION" There are plenty of other great cases out there, just read some reviews. Important things are airflow, room for what you want to put in there and strong build quality. |

Important things are airflow, room for what you want to put in there and strong build quality. Or cheap... depending on who you talk to. I went for all the bells and whistles with mine, and frankly I should have just saved myself the money. I hardly ever have to go in there, and I'm not OC'd to the point where case temp is ever much of a consideration. Are you going to OC? The Antec 900 is supposed to be very good. A bit expensive, but good. The Antec 300 would be OK too. The Cooler Master CM 690 looks the job, and has plenty of fans too. Go to the ascent site, and use the tool on the right to cut down the choices a bit. I made it 4-8 fans, turned on gallery view, and ordered by price. Save yourself some money, and have a look what you like. Lots of case stuff is just looks. |

I'm not going to OC mainly because i don't know how and don't really want to ruin anything just trying to do it. I'm thinking i will go with the NZXT Tempest as well. Just because its got good reviews, i like the look of it, an alright price & has ample amount of fans to keep everything cool. |

| 714757 | 2008-10-30 04:32:00 | Theirs a Corsair PSU that comes with a modular cord system (sorry, not sure which model). This means you only need to populate your case with the power cords you need rather than having redundant cords clutter your case and reduce airflow. It costs about $20.00 more than the fixed cord option. I wish I had have spent the extra $20.00 and bought the modular Corsair PSU. | supersi (8401) | ||
