My current case is NZXT Tempest case and I planned to keep it for a while longer but I saw pictures of Tempest EVO which improved on original Tempest by making all the interior black rather than bare silver, psu mounting on posts rather than large bracket (allowing fan side down in EVO, means ATX cable is about 6" closer to mobo for easier routing), has some space behind mobo plate for better wire management, and I can get it for $110 shipped from Tiger Direct.
I got a quandary. Do I go for it, move my PC to the new case, sell the old one to pay for the new case? Or should I look for a different case that has internal mounting for 2x120 rad and looks as good as Tempest EVO? Or keep my existing case? I could paint my existing case but it's too cold outside and I got no place inside for safe painting. Garage is not attached and never heated so still too cold.
If you know of a case with good air flow, can take my 120mm and 140mm yates (will swap fans before selling old case), and looks great for max $110 shipped, please suggest away.
Another case that got my eye long ago was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...10019&cm_re=gmc_orange-_-11-110-019-_-Product but it's rather small and wouldn't be able to hold 3 HDs or have 2x 5.25" drives. I also liked Lian Li PC-777 (discontinued) and 888 but they are rather pricey
Basically anything red/black or orange/black would be good. Unusual look a plus but must be able to cool well. Noise level not an issue as I'm deaf and I could have a shop vac hooked to my PC to suck hot air and not be bothered by it.
