Clavus Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It's that time of the year again! I thought I'd postpone my upgrade till 2012 (after the Radeon HD79xx series launches) but since Windows is already getting slower with booting and shit I figured I'd just do my planned case and SSD upgrade right now.Right now my boot HDD is a Samsung Spinpoint F3 and my case is a Cooler Master Centurion 5:Served me well these past three years.My planned SSD upgrade is a Crucial m4:http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/282241/crucial-m4-ct128m4ssd2-128gb.htmlAnd a new case. Thing is, I'm not quite sure what case I want yet. I'm replacing my Centurion 5 is because I want a bit more space (My HD5850 is almost too long for it, for example), but I don't want a high-tower. The new case should have a bit of a game-rig aura radiating from it without being too elaborate. It shouldn't be very expensive either. I currently have my eyes on this baby, the NZXT Phantom:More suggestions? Quote Link to comment

CarPileUp Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Don't forget to use the newest firmware version (0009) for your Crucial M4 Quote Link to comment
Clavus Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Considering Ivy bridge ?=)Nah, my Core i5 750 still performs wonders so I can easily skip another CPU generation.EDIT:Seems I can fetch the Phantom and the Crucial m4 from a nearby store for 278 euros total. Think I'll place an order soon if nobody makes any better case suggestions Quote Link to comment
CyriusG Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Best version of that case!But i would get a Fractal Design R3 because it's a little bit cheaper and in my opinion it also looks better, (but like i said that's just my opinion), and it's sound isolated.

Clavus Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 The Fractal thing is just a solid block, which apparently a lot of people like but I don't.Anyway already ordered the Phantom and Crucial m4, since the Crucial m4's sale at the local shop was expiring today Quote Link to comment
Dr.Minky Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 My favourite version of that case is the white one with blue panels, Quote Link to comment
Darkstar Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Id love the Phantom in white personally, but I know it would be a bitch to clean if anything gets on it. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Minky Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Id love the Phantom in white personally, but I know it would be a bitch to clean if anything gets on it.True.. My friend had it before he moved to China, looked REALLY nice: Just imagine that case and this keyboard http://www.ebuyer.com/248672-razer-black-widow-ultimate-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-rz03-00380500-r3w1 mmmm... With these fans that I havehttp://www.ebuyer.com/206654-coolermaster-120mm-sickleflow-fan-blue-led-r4-l2r-20ac-gpIf only I had stupidly high amounts of disposable income..
