    Phantom 820 looks a cracking case, hence why im ordering one tomorrow in white, to transfer my rig into :D, along with a Corsair AX860w PSU to go with it, ready for when i get a custom cooled 290x.

    After having built my first computer I can say whatever you chose make sure the heat flow is vertical not horizontal.this means case pick up air from bottom and flow it to the top .Im searching for a case to does this .I have a antec 300 .decent case but heat get trapped in still.

    Silverstone Raven is good for this. I have a RV02, and I thought the same thing however my Phantom runs my gear cooler.

    Agreed. That thing is great. A silly number of water cooling options too.

    Phanteks Enthoo Primo Case Review.

    A very long review (45 minutes), but that guy never repeated himself. Ghehe. If I ever want another case then it is going to be that one. A lot more expensive than the OP's budget, though.

    Got a NZXT H630 recently and I love it. Quiet, good airflow. Good dust filter (unlike my HAF XM).

    hmm looks good but 280mm rad support on the top looks spotty though. i could settle for a cheaper h90 though in the rear 140mm. I like 200mm fans compared to 220/230/250mm though because good 200mm replacements are easier to find.

    Switch 810 vs Phantom 630(windowed edition) i would say right now its a tossup but the switch 810 is cheaper and does fit a 280mm rad on top. **** i hate choosing a case... way too many good options! :bang:

    We are back up and running, what an absolute beaut this case is, now just got to disconnect it again to pop the sides back on, and were fully done (as left the sides off to test it all powered ok). :cool: :D
