New Case

[Mini123]

I am going to be building up a new case and in the near future add new components.

Are there any cases that have lots of fan spaces about 4 - 7

I will be fitting 4000 - 8000rpm fans (variable speed control)

Any ideas? or should i go water cooling?

Coolermaster are usually fitted with quite a few fans.

I have to say though 4-7 fans going at those rpms would be extremely annoying, your machine will sound like an airboat or something. You should only need a couple of 120mm fans doing 1500rpm to keep the inside air well circulated.

why not go with an aerocool extremeengine 3t? Instead of a lot of fans, one 25cm, one 14cm, with a built in fan controller

Got any examples of coolermaster cases

If they have 4 - 7 spaces for fans i will put the speeds down to 1000 - 2500 rpm

I guess coolermaster cases have changed , i remember one of my friends had one and it had 6 fans in it.

anyway this thermaltake has 4 fans in it

Wow, that's got to be one of the ugliest cases I've ever seen. If more manufacturer's put more creativity into thermally and spatiously optimizing their cases than in the front panel design, they'd be noticed more. Antec, Thermaltake and Coolermaster seem to have the best kinds of cases, many varieties within each manufacturer to suit everyone, I don't think you'd need to look elsewhere for a really nice case.

i do agree with you there, it is one of the most butt ugly cases i have ever seen, the only 2 thermaltake cases i do actually like are the Soprano and the Tsunami.

Looking at the looks of some of them i think i will go liquid cooling

Thanks
