New tower -and maybe a new cpu-cooler if necessary.

Heyho and Guten Abend.

 

As mentioned I'm searching for a new tower and I need some help. A few weeks ago I decided to buy a new case and today is the day I want the divorce, maybe.

I've done some research by myself and I think I... no, I know I want a case like a Lian Li PC-V355a.

But what I don't know is a] would my current stuff actually fit in that case b] if not and it would be just the cooler, would a Noctua NH-L12 be fine and handle the CPU?

 

So... I definitely don't want an ATX-tower or something like that it should be a cube or at least a smaller case than my current one (~w18,5cm ~d34cm ~h31cm)

 

Yeah and price limits... don't know, something around that Lian Li.

 

My system is linked in my signature under "sys", and maybe it's nice to have a visual overview, so there is a photo (973.gif) attached bellow, too.

 

Thanks.

I would say to get a Corsair Air 540 and an NH-L12 will handle that fine. I know, a Micro ATX board in an ATX case, but it's an excellent case.

I really want a smaller case... it's not just an option.  :P

Look at the bitfenix Phemon Mirco ATX, But make sure you get the mAtx, not the mITX. And the notuca should be just fine.

 

Mhh. Looks nice, too. I'll have a closer look.

 

Whatever you buy make sure it comes with dust filters

 

Good point.
