|  Looking for a New case/cooling system
I've got a Apevia Jupiter, mid tower. I'm not satisfied with it.
I have the cooler master geminii cooler, 2x 8600gts, 3hds and a non modular psu. I need bigger.
I've been looking at the Coolermaster armor case, but i'd like to see what the best forum around has to say first. I'd prefer a clear side panel, but it's not required.
I also have a total of 9 120mm fans, and 1 80mm in this thing, so i'd like to convert to water cooling, this thing sounds like a microwave. lol. |

Dont get better cooling + sell 8600GTS's + BUY 1 8800GTS = A Happy You.

They are overclocked, and according to mark06, i'm only 92 points under my roomie with a 8800gts. it's not worth the hassle, and then i have to get a new psu, this one can't power anything bigger.

Yeah id also say he'd have a 320mb or 640mb version, or he has some other let down in his system.

dude... best suggestion ever:
get an NZXT Tempest.
hands down, best case i have ever owned... its very roomy, has great cooling, and is perfect for if you decide to step up to water cooling in the future... and as an added bonus, its just over $100USD... amazing stuff right there, i LOVE mine... check out some pics of mine if youre curious: My New NZXT Tempest, Finally! (Pics!)
anywho... thats my suggestion, and prolly one of your best bets... feel free to ask me any questions about it if you want... im glad to help... good luck  - RK

NZXT is a great case brand! They make some very good gamer's cases including the Tempest, Apollo, Nexus Blackline, etc.
