Top Case
what is a good case for a gaming desk top?
Looking to build a nice gaming desktop. I want and hdmi connection does it matter what case i get? would also like room for adding things on later. and something that cools well. Can anyone suggest one or point me in the right direction?
Really depends on the price. Out of my current rigs the one that is my favorite is a cooler master atcs 840. Could be a little expensive for some but to me it was worth it. Its rather big, in fact its one of the largest cases i have seen. I have also used antec 900s, antec 300s, an nzxt tempest, a coolermaster 690, and various rosewill cases. The only one that i wasnt a big fan of was the antec 900. Its a really fun case to mod, but if thats not your thing it can be a pain to build in.
All the cases that i listed have pretty great airflow and room for atleast 4 case fans. The HDMI thing is dependent on which video card you choose, since it is what contains all of your video output connections.
Choosing a case really is more of a personal decision though. What i find appealing might not do it for you at all.
Cases to consider
ATCS 840
Antec 900
Antec 300
Coolermaster 690 II
Coolermaster Storm Scout
Thermaltake V9
Thermaltake Speedo
Corsair 800D
Thermaltake Armor+
Coolermaster HAF
hope this can get you moving. good luck with the build
