Hi guys!
My current rig: qx6800, 8Go ddr2, 6870 in a lame p180, "So i'l just shut up now and show you the picture" (if it works 1rst time putting a picture here)
By sirshizuka at 2012-02-15
I'l be changing it soon, here's what i'm doing next:
The ivy bridge i5 3570K on 8th april as well as a mid range kepler. Where i am stuck is choosing what box to buy. I'l be using air cooling at least to start but i would like my case to be "ready" for a possible future watercooling.
My hardware will be:
i5 3570 220 €
cooler recycling NH12 0 €
MB z68 (ssd caching) 100 €
ram low voltage 90 €
SSD 60GB (cached with 500Go) 80 €
HDD system 500Go 7,2Ktr/s recycling 0 €
HDD storage 2TB 5400 recycling 0 €
Graphics card: Kepler gtx 660/670 400 €
New mouse & pad steelseries sensei … 70 €
960 € without box & PSU
I hesitate between theses cases:
Fractal define R3
Silverstone raven R3
or one of the cooler master HAF or storm trooper
With them all lined up like that they all look great, i have a slight preference for the HAF 922 ( 1rst cooler master picture) because its a bit flashy (hard too choose between sober and flashy) and it has some large fans, i don't know exactly how many are included with it. I immagine that if thoses fans are slowed down they will be silent whilst effective, but maybe not ... are they? - i want a silent/very quiet machine - at least when its not working hard.
So what do you think?
