Larger Case? - Yay or nay!

[RAID-UA]

At the mo i have a very standard ATX midi Tower and the Power Supply sits directly behind my HDD and CD-ROM Drives.....and it all looks so cluttered...regardless to say i have one of the largest mobo's....KT7-RAID.....

I want to make things look neater and just cases as cheap as they are i was wondering if it would be worth the money in getting a FULL TOWER so i would have HEAPS of ROOM!.....

This should aslo give me lower temps right?

thanks RAID...

well if you got more fans pulling the air through the case, then id say yes. if u have the cash flow, id get an alum case, that would better ur temps a bit more also.

Got the same "big" MoBo & I did upgrade to a bigger case. If you got the money to spend then GO RIGHT AHEAD! :D Temp drop with more fans is always good.

Big case good. My midi-tower has strangulated air flow. The video board gets within an inch of the hard disks, and all those cables (power, IDE etc.) stop air coming up from the bottom to the important hot bits. Some iffy fan mounting was required to push it round corners. Misery.

I much prefer a full tower case myself as all the components are not crowded on top of each other. I just ordered an Antec SX1200(no power supply included) tower case to replace the mid-tower case that I have my Intel machine built in. I'm just going to move the Powmax psu into the new case and sell the old case with the 250 watt psu that it originally came with.

The KT7a-RAID fits nicely in this case:

It is $80 and if you have more money, they have even bigger ones. :cool:

I like my full tower got it at the local shop. It has plenty of room no clutter what so ever but it is almost as tall as my computer desk. I think I paid like maybe $65 for it and it came with a 300 watt PSU.

yay, yay, dear lord yay


full tower cases rock, i love em, in fact i got 5 of my 6 computers in em, where is the 6th you ask??? why mounted in my desk drawer

anyways, they kick @ss, more room for cooling fans, better airflow and you can easily mount lights and stuff like that in em

Here's what my KT7A-Raid is sitting in. Nothing finer than a two room apartment for that watercooling rig and all the other mods!
No way would I go back to a mid-tower.

i say get the antec sx-1240 or the sx-1200...these are nice and tall and tons of spaces to put fans
