My computer hardware generally idles at super high temps- around 60-70C. I am worried about something frying (as will probably happen) so does anyone know of a case with a good airflow and cooling system and of a good liquid cooling system? So far I have looked at

for the liquid cooling and

and

for the cases. I am either looking for a case with a decent PSU (check my sig) for 75-100 USD or a 50-75 USD case and a 30-40 USD PSU.
 
I wouldnt jump from stock to water cooling. I would get some better case fans and a new cpu fan.

liquid cooling system would not even bother with mate.
Tried it not good at all!!!!!!!.
And a bit noise!!!
I had the coolmaster one.
 
Thermaltake Big Typhoon rules over all. In both performance & size. Its huge, so make sure you have enough room for it.
 
yerrr they do seem very high. p4 will cut out at 75 usually for safety.

ive got a p.4 3ghz northwood, 4 case fans and a aerocool cpu cooler and i idle at about 35

tidying ure wires is a good start!
 
thanks for all the replies. I may get the SonicTower. However, I need devices like this for all my components. Will any of the cases forementioned be big enough to house the SonicTower? If not , can anyone recommend one that is big enough & with good cooling?
 
that sunbeam is pretty dam large, it should be able to fit that in there. and i recommend buying at least one fan for the tower heatsink as well. the sunbeam is a great cooling case just seems to be a bit loud but a fan controller should turn down the 80mm fans a little which is probly the reason for the noise.
 
I have decided to get the Sunbeam Transformer case. I need to know if it will fit my current system's mobo (intel alderwood i925).

Im not sure how to find if it is a 20 or 24 connecter. Is there a way to find this out without opening the case? Also, will the back panel work with the I/O's arrangement my mobo has? (sorry, sort of a n00b at this:P )

Ok, I'll do that. Does anyone know of the quality of the PSU?

The +12V rail is rated for 20A, which isn't too bad, but not great either. It really depends on what you want to put in it.

I'd google the model number of your motherboard.

The mobo should come with a replacement back panel, the one with the case will just pop out.

God, I have a lot to learn :D . Thanks though
. Are fan inputs square shaped or 1 x 3 / 1 x 4 ?

Ussaly they are 1x3pin, but some fans are 4 pin and plug directly into the power supply. any fans hat plug into your mtherboard will be 3 pin, at least any new ones, some older ones migh be 2 pin.
 
Ok thanks. If I get a fan controller, the fans plug into the controller which then gets plugged into the PSU as a peripheral?
