Advice on Computer Cases

Antec Skeleton Open Air Case Introduction :: TweakTown

Or this...

Hello patio.


Someone I know got that when it first came out and they didn't like it, it was too confined, the pics I saw of it they had the PSU sitting out on the counter; it looks interesting but at the same time it looks like a dust magnet.

The next case I go to will definitely have air filters. As much as I like this case - that really has been my one true bug bear with it.

Last winter I resorted to creating some 'ghetto' filters (nylon stockings ) but when summer came back - off came the stockings. Just like the ladies.

Now that summer is waving goodbye, I'll be able to reintroduce the stockings again. Again, just like the ladies :)

I had a low powered air compressor that I used to used to clean/clear non-electrical components, but that literally went up in smoke a few weeks back so as far as pristine conditions go - my computer is not. By the same token, it's certainly not at the level where it affects noise/temps.

Dust filters are a god send. Ever since I've had my CM690 I've had dust free components :)

It's quite a small case though now in terms of component sizes nowadays, and it does get a bit toasty in there during hot weather, so once I've funded myself a new graphic card. The next upgrade after that might be retiring the old girl and getting a larger case.

Hey Harry, have you seen the "new" 690?

CM 690 II Advanced - Cooler Master

Oh, that does look nice. The inside looks a lot better for cable management and slightly more roomy.

And it has an SSD converter tray.

If there was an Nvidia Edition of that case, I'd get it in a second

That probably would look good! :)
