Q: This one: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/System_Cases/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A1311596 Or this one: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/System_Cases/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A1311564 I was thinking the Antec, but I am willing to be open for suggestions! I would love to be able to play Crysis and other games to come in the future. I wish buying Alienware cases was easier, I just don't trust eBay or any of these sites that have HTML done by a 3rd grader...
A: I wouldn't consider either one. The size is good. Airflow is not. You want plenty of air to disapate the expected heat that will be generated by high power and sli GPU cards,the RAM(yes your ram sticks heat up), your north and south bridge on your motherboard. as well as the CPU heat. Consider the following case. Airholes and a place for a fan in front for air intake. There is also a place for a fan for your HDD(s). 2 fans can be placed in the back. Side fan to evacuate the heat even more. fan on your psu. The all important fan on the ceiling to avoid heat pooling near the top of the case if the back end of your psu is closed which most are. The case should be your first worry because wiithout the proper airflow the life of your rig will be reduced. Maybe not a lot but enough to put some weight in that particular decision.
