Anyone know any good cases?

Orlough · 08-05-2009, 03:28 AM

Hey all I just recently got into PC gaming. Got a Dell XPS worth 1.5k very nice quad core, 1GB graphics all that.

But the case is big, bulky, and dosen't have a side window.

I need something that could hold Liquid cooling a huge graphics card and all that stuff that comes with a dell XPS computer.

You could get the:
HAF 932 (full tower)
HAF 922 (mid)
Raidmax Smilodon (mid)
And if you're looking for INCLUDED water cooling Ikonik Ra X10 (there's a version w/ and w/o water cooling)
Just look 'em up on NewEgg

Thanks i'll look em up.

Orlough · 08-05-2009, 04:09 AM

Just looked at all of them and don't really want a full tower because i want one that's mid sized, and i don't want included water cooling, so that leaves HAF 922, and Raidmax Smilodon.

I liked the HAF 922, and i think i'll be getting that one thanks for your help.

Also take a look at the antec nine hundred, nine hundred two, and the Xclio blackhawk, and Xclio A380.

You also might have to do some modding to fit all your dell parts into a standard case.

That's the first thing I was thinking. DOn't have a clue what those mods would be though? Can you make a template and drill some holes for the brass spacers?
