Hey guys,

I have checked out the reviews on the NZXT Phantom and the Lancool Dragon R1 case. I am just wondering how much a side Vga fan helps with a sealed VGA card? EG: ATI Radeon 5870

Budget is not an issue for me, I had a Lanboy Air and it just filled up with dust way to much for my liking.

What would be the best case for efficiency and nothing to loud, I have now a Noctua NH-D14 but I am sure that fits in most cases today?

one question I have with the phantom is: will it fit my ROG OC station behind the door? Any recommendations are much appreciated always !!

P.S. was very happy to have a quick response on my matrix question the other day, Can't thank you enough
 
Id actually have to say give the BitFenix Survivor a try as that has dust filters in the front dude. The NZXT will be great but the door may cause issues with your OC Station thingame doofer.

.. but i'm biased

That being said, my second choice would be the NZXT Phantom
 
Wow, They look very nice TTL ! Seems to be very hard to get here in Sydney Australia unfortunately ;( I can find the silver stone at a non store pickup webshop.

What does seem to be very easy to get here is the Haf-X and the sniper black by cool master and most of the lian-li cases.

Thank you all for the fast reply, I do want to get it sorted today. I am just ringing around now for the Silverstone
 
I've got Siverstone TJ07 and FT02.  The FT02 is amazing.  Only 2 minor niggles with it.  First there's not a lot of depth space for thick cables behind the mobo.  Second is if you want SLI there's not much room for the depth of an optical drive in the 5.25 bays.  It is however very quiet, very cool and very clean with the positive pressure and dust filters..

. I can get a white phantom today and the sniper or the Lian-li ttl review the dragon R1. I am thinking on the phantom I can remove that inner door panel held in by 4 screws for more clearance?

I might go to the store and see if they will show me it, I really like the white one reviewed

Going to look at the Silver stone Raven 2 now, I a pretty sure I will go with it, Thanks Guys !!! Aghrr lol , does not fit video cards 11.5 inches long. Max is 10.5inch. pretty sure the matrix platinum is 11.5. back to the drawing board
 
Wait for CES 2011. Silverstone is showing the Raven 3.

Personally I love the Raven style and the Raven 2 only has a 5% ambient temp difference from open air and has 100% dust filtered intake.
