Case suggestions

[Kenny]

I'm ordering my PC today but I don't know what to get?

I was looking at the Fractal R3 because it looks smart and is supposed to have good cooling, but people have said the Cool Master 690? or the Cool Master HAF 912?

What are your guys thoughts?

P.S Video editing, not much gaming

What case do you like the look off?

The Cm 690 II is a very very good case, for a good price, you can see some pictures here, - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums...4084-Cm-690-ii - Gratitude to truegrace

The haf 912 is a great case too!, again some pictues - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums...r-HAF-912-Plus - Gratitude to Madman and chrcar59

To be honest I quite like the look of the InWin Dragon Rider case!

But I just want the case best for cooling, as well as looks

The Inwin Dragon or the 690 II coolermaster are both good cases, either will provide good air flow. Since the primary use is video editing I'd try to get a good cpu cooler.

I'm getting the TITAN FENRIR EVO EXTREME HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£39), what do you recon?

I think for the Inwin Dragon rider the side panel fan may have to be taken out to fit the titan fenrir,

It says on the website that it's all compatible, If so the side fan might be moved to another place in the case?

I didn't mean to say it is not compatible, the titan will fit in the case but the side panel would be removed, I was considering that case with the titan and I was told by PCS that the side panel fan would be removed (If I remember correctly). If you want an official response you could contact them.

just the large 200mm fan that covers the titan fenrir, you could still add a few 120mm fans to the side panel though.

I'm not sure if they would fit it elsewhere in the case, as its a big fan.

I just spoke to their live chat, and was recommend the R3 so I think i'll go with that! Ruben would you mind looking over my final spec? Or anyone else
