| 656788 | 2008-04-09 06:05:00 | I had read that the Soprano was a good solid case. I'm not sure if there is a family of Soprano's or what... What about this one (www.tomshardware.com)? I'm thinking a good aluminum case is good, and having a large interior means better airflow. Any recommends? LOL, yes, thats a nice case, I am bias of course with my TJ06, but I like to isolate the chambers of the case. The TJ09 is good for pulling air through to the Graphic card area where if you have SLI it's a great boon. I prefer the TJ06 to keep the cpu area cool with the wind tunnel here (i13.photobucket.com) as I'm not a big SLI avocate, especially with only a 20"WS. The TJ09 is aluminum so light and cool, the TJ06 is steel chassis, aluminum front and $200 cheaper! |

| 656791 | 2008-04-09 06:27:00 | I've got a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream, which is pretty much a Soprano with a facelift. I have an 8800GT too, and it idles at 52 degrees, load at 65-80, which are normal temps for an 8800GT. I also put in a PCI slot fan, which extracts hot air. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 656792 | 2008-04-09 07:33:00 | Ok, so I did my budget, and I've only got about $225 to spend on a case, unless I want to wait till next week and make that $350 something |
