new Case, new rad too?

mkosem · 01-28-2002, 12:48 PM

I am getting out of my huge ass antec sx1240. It is simply too large for my benefit(and heavy too!). I will be getting a Chenbro PC610 case. I was wondering if it is worth the extra $100 to get the blackice extreme. I currently have a bigmama from OCWC and am quite happy with it. But, is the BI Extreme better? or if so, significantly better?

the BIX is probably about the same as far as cooling capacity goes, it's advantage is that it is much smaller than the Big Mama.

Personally though, my recommendation would be to stick with the Big Mama
