A good full tower case

[Onyx]

I'm not looking to mod anything but rather find a nice big roomy case that I could work easy in and fit a peltier setup in it as well. The antec dragon cases are nice but it seems like they waste a lot of room with the harddrive cages. Any suggestions? What company should i look at?

If you otherwise like the dragons, why not remove the 3 1/2 cages and use 5 1/4 to 3 1/2 adapters to mount the HD(s) in the upper bays. The cages pop right out.

Can't recommend any particular brand right now, I have an eclectic taste in cases - the last one I bought that I really liked was a small NCR server case. I just bought a dragon last week and it's an OK case, good basic airflow.

How hard is it to actually get the cage supports on the bottom off?

[Tweaked!]

Check out the cases at XTW (http://www.xtwerkz.com/). They're a decent seller and I've bought the at821 for a customer and was impressed with it.:)

To take the lower cages off of a dragon, flip a lever and pull. Screwless.

I'd remove the stamped fan grills (cut them off) and use wire grills or none if you buy it.

The one I got is here http://www.directron.com/da01sld.html
It's fairly popular and it's plenty big enough to fit my radiator, pump and resovior in without space problems. :cool:

Maybe you can find the Lite-On FS020 case somewhere, there's nothing bigger than that, you can fit another case in that case if you want.

I've just built a PC up for a friend using the Antec/Chieftec TA-10 case. THats the full tower one!

They are a pleasure to work with, loads of space, very vyer big, pleanty of fan mounts.

Only thing is you don't get a removable mobo tray with it. Other than that, very very good cases/

I agree with gobbo, after getting myself a Chieftec Dragon Full Tower ive been very impressed, as he says, only problem is non-removable mobo tray but hell- tons of fan mounts! a lot of space and easy access to everything
