    Hi all!
    I have some 200 bucks in the pocket and wanna get a large-cool-quiet case! The one that i'm having now is a nzxt zero which makes hummling noises due to the unquality materials and unstable 8 fans used. I wanna get some brand case such as thermaltake or lian li because i'm well aware of their quality...

    I'd go for a case that has 4-5 12cm or 2-3 25cm usable fan slots but without fans. Because the fans that come with the case are generally weak and bound to break after a few months' use... I'll modify it with some quality led fans and stuff and will share the progress with you! ^^

    I'll order the case from Turkey so international shipping had better be available and free. lol

    Ps: I have vantec a800 psu so i don't need one with the new case.

    Thanks beforehandly.

    Nice and quality case but not so good for modifying and looks a bit casual, wish it was more shiny. The front flap covers the fans so no use in putting led fans. Also, has too many hdd slots which i wont ever need. That case below is closer to what i need, what do you think, Sniper?

    Aha! I like red light, especially when i'm visited by my girlfriends. lol
    I dont know if the front fans would make vibrating noise in time because of the very seperate three flappable covers. What do you think about that, would they?

    Ps: I've never heard about Antec brand before.

    Lol, i hope she doesn't think the lights are for valentines day...
    Antec has been around in the cooling/casing/psu busines for quite some time now. They've proved to be one of the top brands out there, especially in my list. But when it comes to casing, i have to almost always end up going with NZXT. Like this one. This Antec case is also pretty cool!

    I think i'm gonna order one of that In Win case, should i? I mean, In Win... Is that a trustable company for warranty and other services? Tell straight, if so i'll order one in three days! Cheers! :)
    But... Will my cpu cooler, Silver Arrow fit in this case? I highly doubt...

    First off, if you're going to invest in a good CPU heatsink, invest in a copper-based one. Copper is a better heat conductor and you can find them for around the same price. I've been searching around for a copper one just like the one you posted but i didn't know what socket type to look for.
    According to In Win's case dimensions, it's width is 9.4 inches, whichc onverts to 238.76 millimeters. Silver Arrow's dimenions are (Length 160mm x Width 26.5mm x Height 140mm). You'll be fine. You have more than enough room to install the heatsink.
    I never had an In Win case so i can't say much... both reviews are excellent (5 eggs) and are both the same price. However, the Antec case has one extra fan over the In Win. (6 > 5). Its up to you champ.
