Look at the case in my pics. It's a thermaltake xaser V..it's a beast! 5 fans that roar like a jet engine, it's about a foot and a half tall and 2 feet long...must weight in the neighbourhood of 50 pounds with all my stuff in it :S:S

I'm looking to replace it probably lol.

Hehe :D

What casings are you looking at to replace it?

I really recommend the P180, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and we have been together ever since :D.
I build my PC's myself and this was a cheer joy to put together will all the parts.

I think if I rebuild my comp this summer I'll get a new case. My current one is just too loud. I want something with 120mm fans, lots of them, fan speed controllers and hopefully any other cooling stuff, especially if I end up with SLI.

P180, P180, P180 :D

The P180 looked sweet but does it have lots of cooling? I only saw 2 or 3 fans. Maybe I'm wrong.

It has 3 built-in 120mm fans.

What case you choose comes down to what you want.

It´s rare that casings are good at everything so you often have to compromise.

A really good noise reduction.
Really good cooling option.
All the bays you have dreamed of for all those harddrives.
Look cool? :D

This is just some examples.

I choose P180 primarily because of the excellent noise reduction. That is important to me.
But I do think it can be modded to cool really well. Both with fans or watercooling. The average temp I have now with just standard stuff that came with the case is lower than any other case I have had.

Wow, the P180 look so freaking wicked.

I like how the PSU is at the bottom and in its own chamber, I always said if I made a case it would have a seperate chamber for the PSU.
I love the whole thing from front to back, I want it!
