CM Stacker is nice... Mountain mods has cool cases too... maybe Silverstone or Thermaltake?

take the components out, make a funnel from cardboard ($5 tops) and use a $100 A/C to funnel cold air to it.

$105+tax on A/C and it will be "damn cold" and smoke any normal case.

:roll:

Btw, this method is very effective. albeit not the mest effecient if your going to be running an a/c.. would be better on the powerbill to make a chiller or phase change system.. along with heating during the winter. (but I guess you could put it outside)

thermaltake tsunami, its spaceus, it runs around 99 bucks, and its nicly moddable,

the tai chi is very nice, acts like a case sized heat sink, but the 300 buck price tag is a bit high.

I recently bought this case and my case temps never get over 40c deg and that's with stock cooling and in Florida climate. On top of that the case is incredibly quite. All of the case fans are 120mm and turn at about 850-950 rpms.

And if you like it's already setup if you decide to add water cooling later on. And the case is very striking Black or Silver. :rockout:

I got about 13C using a fridge.

Laughable, compared to simple water chiller temperatures.
