OVERHAULING

eXg. Phenom · Post by **eXg. Phenom** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:17 pm

im about to get another 8800GTX to pick up speed and reduce heat. since the 8800GTX is ginormous im gonna have to switch to a Full Tower case. Also to reduce heat im gonna have to get a CPU liquid cooler. I might just get a system liquid cooling system while im at it...im looking at about $1000 bucks..added onto my alrdy $2500...god.
well...itll be worth it.

Comment on your ideas.

If space is what you crave, then the Thermaltake Armor full tower has it. Plenty of airflow, fans, room for everything and anything.

Read all the reviews.

Personally I dont like the look of it. And it would be pretty hard to find fan replacments if the bearings went back in those.

Quite a few nice cases here. I think that the average n00b totally forgets about the growing thermals in newer "gaming" rigs. Let's not talk about Raptors, which don't like being jammed together, or even the Perpendicular HD's. Even before you start to OC, you already have alot of heat to deal with. Except for NOT being able to hide it in your pocket, bigger cases are easier to move air through, especially when you add more equipment. Plus larger cases, should, allow you to add more fans. In and out, for every one you have pulling in, if you can, make another pushing out. Ballanced airflow.
