Help me Choose a case.....

[Gorgon]

I am trying to get a case with excellent cooling proformance and descent features. I have two cases in my list:

1-ThermalTake http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/tsunami/swa/swa.htm

2-Coolermaster http://www.coolermaster.com/index.p..._serial=STC-T01&other_title=STC-T01CM Stacker

Thanks

edit: ops the poll spelling :O

Com on people post something.

personally, I wouldn't get anything that couldn't hold at least 4 fans... bu that's just me.

Coolermaster! But only because it looks like it can double up as an extra fridge for drinks and snacks.

If I were picking between those two I would go with the Coolermaster... but I wouldn't have narrowed it down to those two in the first place.

I have a dark silver one.

I run my stock a64 3200 at 34 in it with stock cooling. It's a clean case, no stupid lights or neon crap. Will last forever. The last case I'll ever buy.

Antec p160 or Lian li v1000

:E

I second that Antec P160

I havn't seen either of those cases.
I generally really love Coolmaster cases but that specific Thermaltake does have a lot of options and 2 120MM fans which are better than 4 80MM case fans IMO.

Other choices would be the Antec P160, Lian Li V1000 or V1200.

The black version (the other PC parts I have are black, so I got the black case to match) of the Lian Li PC6070 is the case for me. I don't like my PC's to make a lot of noise, so I try to use only silent components and cases that are designed to reduce noise. I also like the simplistic look of the PC6070B (b = black) with the door shut.

Here are a couple of pictures of the black version: Closed and Open.

Lian-Li are good cases. Simple but elegant

Hey I have that case. Its very large and very durable. I like everything about it except for the stupid cover for the disc drives which I ripped off. The case has a tool less side panel remover so you can get at your computer hardware in a matter of seconds. The Thermaltake looks cool because you can put it in your kitchen and someone would try to open it to get a beer during the playoffs.

The Antec Sonata. So quiet...

I'll slap you if you don't go thermaltake. Best, most reliable company, ever.

I'll slap you if you don't go thermaltake.

It's the OGL of cases, the 'popular' choice.

I'm kidding! They have good stuff it just seems that sometimes they try too hard to be popular rather than stick to the hardware and make it a solid choice.

I would definitely go with the Thermaltake. The coolermaster has dual PSU support and room for like 15 Hard drives, I would only go for this case if I had the thing entirely full of RAID hard drives. Also the coolness look on that case is about a 2/10.

Thermaltake is known for having cases with insane amount of features. Look at all the features the case has. Looking at it right now makes me very interested in it.

Right now I have the Soho 1040 Case, pretty good, bare stuff just needed to use a computer, doesn't have any of the neat stuff the Tsunami has.
