Yeah, I think I would tend to agree after some research.

Also, what would be better, 2 OC'd eVGA Co Op Editon GTX 295s or 3 eVGA 2GB GTX 285 FTWs?
Oh, Eville, I think JasonFJ needs your help on something. I believe he said that the problem was that the Golan III mesh he has is rotated 90 degrees. That was your model I believe. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/344013/page/12/#replies
Hmm, thinking about dropping the V8 for full liquid cooling. What would a good case be for a water cooled rig? Space is good since I would like to keep everything I can inside the case. I think I may have to run 2 loops too.
Argh, so hard to decide. I think the CM ATCS 840 would be a seems to be a good choice, as does the Antec 1200. 3DGameman's review of the 840: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8_1cQkYTO4 3DGameman's review of the 1200: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j3MNAQLuIQ
[quote who="o0SHUUMI0o" reply="14" id="2319601"]those video cards are garbage...they are basically 2x gtx 250- 260s slapped together... get a gtx 285 ftw 2gb by evga.... it alone will out perform the gtx 295 and totally rock in sli...i know this from personal experience...i went basically the route you are going... but why so much ram? are you doing any major rendering? if you are gaming 8 gb is best, but still overkill [/quote] Because I want to. I won't be buying this
From SilverStone the RAVEN series and TJ10 are options.
I'll get around to looking at SilverStone. The Achilles is a little flashy.
I'm getting the V8. OH SNAP
[quote who="starkers" reply="3" id="2318920"] I have an Achilles in black and find it to be a solid, reliable performer with plenty of room for expansion... larger graphics cards (8800GT/9800GT, etc) fit with 3.5cm spare between it and the HDD's. It has 120mm side and top fans, a 400mm rear fan so cooling/ventilation is good.... it is also quiet. The case doesn't come with dust filters on the fans, but I fitted some for about $20.00, bringing the cost of my case to
The CoolerMaster ATCS 840. Sorry Jafo, but this is prettier. Also, I would rather stay away from cutting holes in the mobo tray.
Alright, Which case should I get: the Lian Li PC-P80, the Thermaltake Xaser VI, the Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Package, the Antec 1200, the Coolermaster ATCS 840 or the Coolermaster HAF 932? Looking for major cooling, plenty of space and some amount of quietness. Alternate suggestions welcome.
Hmm, with the CM ATCS 840 would watercooling really be needed for the GPUs (With optional fans)? What about the Lian-Li PC P80? The Antec 1200?
LoTeK, wow, the forums hate you. Lol.
The Cooler Master ATCS 840 seems to be a good choice, as does the Armorsuit PC-P80.
In the process of checking out Lian-Li. Would the FT-01 be big enough for 2 GTX 295s + water cooling with the cpu cooler? Edit: which Lian Li case should I look at? Perhaps the Armorsuit PC-P80?
Also, this case , this case or this case ?
My system would be in the $4000-$5000 range, in USD. I might consider a SSD, but the Velocirapters are plenty fast and cheaper than SSDs of an equal size.
Hmm, can't decide between this and the quattro.
Ha ha, Jafo wins. [e digicons]k1[/e] I think I'm settled on the quattro then.
@Elixir: Cool case, very sleek. @kona and Fuzzy: Yeah, I've seen those cases.
Yeah, looking at Windows 7 64 bit. The Quattro is 80-Plus Bronze, and thus quite efficent for its power. Jafo, how do you like it? I read that review and it does sound like a nit pick.
Meh, this is all hypothetical, more of a dream computer than anything, but I hope to build something similar eventually.
There's this new thing called overclocking. Heard of it? Sheesh guys, Jafo wins, period. Nice rig Elixir. What case?
Thinking about a Antec Quattro 1000W (same as Jafo) or a Antec CP 850W . Both are 80-Plus.
