    Default Rebuilding.

    Going to sell my 6700 quad build, in place im going to build up the i7 which im getting on the intel purchase program. I need help finding a good case. My biggest complaint on the current case ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811103010 ) is the amount of dust it collects. I want to find something with filters over every fan that will slide out for easy cleaning. I prefer a large mid tower or full tower because of the aftermarket heat sinks being so large. Budget is around 150? More questions to come later of what i need to go with my i7 when the time comes!


    edit - it needs to fit two large ass video cards that im stealing from TGS's stash.

    Have you tried the panty hose trick on your current case? I never got around to trying it myself.

    What kind of case are you looking for?

    Windows?
    Color?
    Material?
    Number/Size of Fans?
    Number of Drive Slots?

    I myself prefer simple cases that only have fans in the front/back, front/top, bottom/top. Having more fans going in, then out, or have a input, and output fan right next to each other doesn't make any sense to me, but that seems to be the way a lot of cases are made these days lol.

    The faster the wind goes the cooler it gets.

    Yeah, but having more CFM going in, then out (And vice versa) doesn't make any sense. A lot of these cases will have a few fans blowing in, and one, or two pulling the air out.

    I read somewhere that havng fans blowing into rather than out of the case keeps dust to a minimum, it has to do with positive air pressure
