Looking for a PC case 1 rear 120mm and one Front bottom 120mm fan any
recomendations ?
Must be either Mid or what i realy want is FULL TOWER
Iam going to add a Side and Top fan as well, but the Front and rear
must have either space for 120mm fans or better yet have the holes cut
already just waiting for the fans to be fitted.
I saw the Vantec Super Lanboy, its ok but iam looking for a case with
some more space than that, any ideas ?
Antec p160 is what I have (3 of them now!). Definitely
one of my favorite cases at the moment, supplanting an
old full-tower SuperMicro 750 case.
Here's what I like/dislike (a lot of this applies to the
Antec Sonata case as well, which has a similar layout):
- 120mm fan at back
- (4) internal drive trays where the drives sit sideways
in the case, with rubber mounts to quiet vibration-
related noise, and easy removal/cabling
- a 120mm fan mount for an optional fan that blows air
directly across those 4 internal drive trays
- (2) temperature probes with an LED display on the
front panel
- (2) external 3.5" bays, (4) external 5.25" bays
(Sonata only has 3 external 5.25" bays)
- case is about 1" wider then a regular mid-tower, and
about 1-2" deeper
Dislikes:
- the fancy 5.25" bay cover which is supposed to fit
over your existing CD-ROM tray to "camo" it is a gimmick
and not very useful
- the motherboard tray only allows boards of
12.something" x 9.6" (some "ATX" boards are 10.5")
- be aware that if you have a full-length PCI card,
there's only one spot it will fit, other slots are
blocked by the internal HD trays
- p160 is $100 and does not include a power-supply
(which is fine with me, might be an issue for others)
