Hi all,

I have just upgraded my system with a pair of SSD's in RAID-0 and have decided on a new case. So far I am heavily leaning towards the 'beast' known as the Antec 1200 http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/4454/smilei.gif

Spec:

Asus P7P55D EVO
Intel i5 750 @ 4.0Ghz (1.35V)
Corsair H50
4GB Geil Ultra PC3-17000
BFG GTX 260 OC
2x 40GB Kingson SSD RAID-0
2x 1TB WD GREEN
Dell 2405FPW
Win 7 Ultimate 64

I would like to bring my load CPU temps (80C under prime95) and idle temps (~38C) down slightly and I think this can be achieved with the cooling available in the Antec 1200.

Ideas and suggestions welcome!

Also, for those who currently own the Antec, will I need extension cables? I intend to hide the cables round the back of the case. If yes, which one(s) will I need?

Do Nova do free shipping?

I need to total up the case plus PSU extension cable plus delivery.

I intend on buying/ordering on Mon 18th Jan so need a quick reply! :)

I have the older case of the antec 900, I don't hide my cables as for me its a pain trying to sort out the cables, also my computer sits at the side of my desk so you can't see the cables.

Depending on you're psu what I would do is just cable tag everything and hide it out of view from the side pannel.

Im not really the best to aswner this as I havn't done it, however im sure there will be many members to help you out.

I would go with one of these suggestions or the Coolermaster ATCS 840.

I second the reccomendation of the ATCS 840. Beatiful yet simplistic case with all the features you could ever need. Plenty of fans (ATCS stands for advanced thermal cooling solution), removable mobo tray and tooless installation :D
