Full tower or half tower case

[lanedutch]

Hey guys, just trying to figure out if i could fit all this in a mid tower case or not. I dont want to have to mod the case or add a little extra effort, what do yall think.

* Full Tower or Mid Tower*

well, that would prob fit in a mid-tower. but if you got a full, upgrades, getting inside, and cooling will be better.

get full air flow much better

arctic freezer 7 pro rev. 2 for a cpu cooler is also good for its price.

Tuniq tower 120 extreme is most likely the best for cooling and costs $62

If you got room to have a full case, get a full... I was dreading the size myself, but I switched to a full and glad I did. :good:

good deal guys thanks.

Judging from my personal opinions, I would go with a mid tower. Full towers are huge, but like another guy said, if you have the room go ahead. Personally, I have no room for a full tower. I don't know about your space situation. All your components would fit into a mid tower as well.

That will fit a mid tower. This is the second comp in my sig.

You could always compromise and get something in between. The NZXT Tempest EVO is a good example. It's a mid-tower case along the lines of the Antec 900, but it's deep enough to hold an E-ATX mobo, which you usually only see in full-tower cases.
